I lived here back in the 80s and it was one of the best times of my life. I lived in the dorms at Sun Valley as an employee at ffirst and then moved to Red tops. I can’t recommend living here highly enough. There is pretty much everything you need either in Sun Valley, Ketchum or Hailey. It has something for everyone.
Same here, late 80’s and left in 1991. Hardest thing I ever did was driving away knowing I’d never get that life back. I’d love to buy a small condo someday. Wanna go halves?
Fun to watch! Thanks for nice coverage and enjoyable content! My mom and aunt lived in Ketchum over 20 years and I spent most of my younger years visiting there. Fishing on Redfish lake, picnics in Stanley, lots of skiing on Bald Mt. Dinner's at Pio, Grumpy's, Warm Spings Ranch (gone now.. all houses), sled rides to dinner at Trail Creek, so much! My mom was a RE Broker with Phil Conger (passed in 2018) at SV Company. One of the nicest places I have every visited. We were looking at homes on the Wood River before Covid, but then bought a vacation home in Summerlin, NV. Still may come get one there. Thanks again, fun memories!
@@iddddaduncan In 1975 we could see Hemingway's home across the river. On my last visit it was not visible due to all of the construction. We found a hot springs with private rooms so we could skinny dip in Ketchum. I think it's gone now. Much of the charm of 1975 is GONE in Ketchum and replaced with fancy schmantzy stores. We did dine at Christies last time and it was superb.
@@incog99skd11 It's really sad seeing what has happened to our beautiful valley, at least the swimming hole across from Hemingway's is still there but now it's so crowded.
Hai nice video 🎉 I have a question ki got my offer letter from TSA for this area but they told me to check it there any indian community since that my family origen ??
Sun Valley is a highly desirable area and is a bit more affordable mountain town option when people are considering other areas. What prices were you expected to see for a mountain town?
@@livinginidaho i was born in boise and my grandparents owned a 60 acre rv park on Lake Pend Oreille currently for sale again after 25 years for 8 figures. I get those types of properties ... but i didn't expect to see Seattle types of prices for a single family home. It's going to be hard to move back from DFW with $800k houses on 5 acres here.
If the service employees working in Sun Valley; Ketchum had heavily subsidized housing in the area they would be able to spend their money in the local economy.
Is the economy not working in Sun Valley? How will other people paying for service employees housing make the economy better? "In particular places where government regulations and restrictions have been especially severe, such as coastal California, rents or monthly mortgage payments have averaged as high as 50 percent of the average person's income." -Thomas Sowell
