Downey, ID

Set in the wide expanse of Marsh Valley in southeastern Idaho, Downey is a quiet agricultural community surrounded by big skies and rolling hills. Daily life here moves at an easy, relaxed pace, centered on working farms, peaceful residential streets, and a friendly, tight-knit community. Located along U.S. Highway 91 in southern Bannock County, it provides a classic small-town setting where people still know their neighbors.

For families considering a move, Downey Elementary is located right in town, while middle and high school students take a short bus ride up the valley to nearby Arimo. The city park offers open green space for afternoon outings and local gatherings, with outdoor recreation like hiking, fishing, and nearby hot springs just a short trip away. U.S. 91 also keeps travel simple, giving residents a quiet rural home base within an easy drive of Pocatello to the north and northern Utah to the south.
