Love our hometown, Caldwell! <3 Love the smaller town feel and people. So many events for the whole family and so much to get out and do close-by! Wineries, YMCA, Deer Flat Wildlife Refuge, Indian Creek Plaza/downtown. etc. etc!. I'm rating our public school experience as high. Much better than experience in CA. Also rating "nightlife" as high because we LOVE the family friendly safe downtown.
The big plus to Caldwell is the cheaper housing that not too far from Boise that's it. There is no sense of community and people stick to themselves. The traffic is getting pretty bad for a small town and as usual like the rest of Idaho there seems to be no plan. At night there are drag racing and 4X4s making racket but its generally quiet. Speaking of which the Caldwell PD are MIA and not proactive and very condescending even though you are trying to help out , what you would expect from small town cops. Basically don't expect to rely on them if things go sideways. The Caldwell DMV is a mess and you can expect to be discriminated against if you are a minority or from out of state. They don't even try to hide it. The best bet is to live waaay outside of town or just go to Boise, the only overall decent city in Idaho. Oh yeah if you buy a house anywhere in Idaho including Caldwell make sure to check the build quality. They go cheap here like Chinese made cheap, the RE agents hide it.
We sold our home in Meridian to pay off debt and moved to Caldwell with intent of moving back to Meridian but we fell in love with Caldwell. People are kind, the Mayor is amazing and making incredible improvements and we feel safe. Our home has more than doubled In two years!
Lots to do here. Just Between Indian Creek plaza and the Simplot stadium there are over two hundred events a year. We love this city!
