Score Breakdown
Our Take
Rexburg offers a low cost of living and good school options, but its walk score is zero and the town is dominated by a large student population that can make everyday life noisy and unpredictable. If you’re a student or a young professional who thrives on campus life, it could be fine; otherwise you’ll find limited job prospects and little quiet time.
