Location, Location, Location!!

Location, Location, Location
This two bedroom upper apartment of a house in Rigby. Though it is not exclusive, and we accept all applications, it seems to have appealed in the past to married students of BYU-Idaho that want more for their money than what is available in Rexburg for the same price. But of course, all are welcome to apply.

Rigby is a quiet small town just a 12 minute drive from campus. It's the ideal location because it is only 15 minutes from "the big city" (Idaho Falls ;). Which opens doors to many more employment opportunities. The house is located in the center of town at 243 North 2nd West. Directions from Rexburg are listed in another post. The apartment is on a corner lot across the street from an LDS church building. It is also one block away from the city park with community tennis courts and within walking distance from Broulim's shopping,the city library and many other Rigby locations. Rigby lake, The Riot Zone and Bear world are also fun attractions a bike-ride away in this area. The neighbors are very friendly and helpful. It's a great location for young children.

To get a feel for the neighborhood, copy and paste the address (243 North 2nd West, Rigby, ID) onto the google maps website and drag the little orange man over to the destination thumbtack and take a look around at street level. However, check our "Outside of the House" posted to see more recent pictures of the external view of the house (google streetview may not be updated).

Outside of the House





Exterior paint job done in 2010. Double hung vinyl windows are only 5 years old and energy efficient. Each apartment has a private entrance with separate mail box, doorbell and parking space. Upstairs apartment gets full use of the double-car deep garage for storage and cars and full driveway. Don't worry, you don't have to ask anyone to move their car for you, the basement tenants have a private parking pad in the back.

It's Great to Live in a Duplex

Things to remember about living in a duplex:

*The city utilities are a set amount each month for each house in Rigby. If you live in a duplex, this cost would be split between the two houses, which means a 50% savings on this utility.
*The TV is not included, but can be set up if you desire. If both you and the downstairs tenant agree to share the cost of these amenities, you can get each at a 50% off as well.

When compared to a stand-alone house or apartment of the same size, the estimated savings for living in a duplex, given the above advantages is close to $100/month off expected living expenses!

Storage:

One of the greatest amenities to this house is the storage space.

The garage is 2 car lengths deep and there is lots of room for storage. The downstairs tenants get use of the storage room and shed. There are food storage shelves in the utility room and a small pantry and large closet in the 2nd bedroom and extra drawers in the hallway.
