If you\u2019ve been looking for a great city in which to buy a brand new home and give your family the best possible lifestyle, Meridian, Idaho may be the place for you. Meridian, a suburb of Boise and currently the third largest city in Idaho, was recently ranked<\/a> as the 25th most livable city in the United States. And with mortgage rates being so low, there\u2019s no reason not to make your move right now.

\nLiving in Meridian – Why It\u2019s One of America\u2019s Top Places to Live<\/strong>
\nMeridian has a lot to offer everyone from people who are just starting out to those who are more established.
\nThe population in Meridian is just under 100,000, although this number is a huge growth from five years ago – in fact, population in Meridian has grown nearly 25 percent over a five-year time period. The growth – which is more than five times that of the U.S. population growth rate – can be attributed to the fact that Meridian has a super strong economy, a strong yet reasonably-priced real estate market, a low poverty rate, and a low rate of violent crime.
\nIn terms of the economy, the total employment in the city increased 8.7 percent over a recent two-year period, and that in 2016, only 3.3 percent of the workforce in Meridian was unemployed, a number lower than both the statewide and national averages.
\nAs far as crime goes, the violent crime rate in Meridian is 109 incidents per 100,000 people. This number is less than one-third of the national average.
\nNow Is the Time to Buy<\/strong>
\nIn addition to great job growth, a low rate of unemployment, and very little violent crime, Meridian is also an affordable place to live. The average home value in Meridian is $236,200, which while above the national median home value<\/a>, is still quite manageable for the middle income range.
\nMeridian is a beautiful place to live, nestled amongst a backdrop of Boise\u2019s foothill mountains, with plenty of nature, trails and outdoor recreation activities, and lakes and wildlife close by. With interest rates low, now is the time to buy if you want to live in a brand new, never-before-lived-in home.
