Gooding is rooted in agriculture and located in Idaho's Magic Valley
Gooding is a small town in the heart of Idaho’s Magic Valley, named in the 19th century after manufactured canals diverted water from a large river, transforming barren soil into fertile farmland. The city took shape soon after and continues to embrace its agricultural roots. “We have a lot of dairies around here,” says Realtor Tonya Burg, a longtime resident who works for Keller Williams Sun Valley Southern Idaho. “One of the draws for employment is Glanbia Cheese, an international company.” While Gooding is over 100 years old, it’s managed to circumvent commercialization, taking pride in its family-owned businesses. The Big Wood and Little Wood Rivers pass through town, and Gooding's small parks are stocked with recreation. Southern Idaho’s dramatic landscape, sculpted by volcanic eruptions and flooding, is filled with trails and waterfalls, all within reach.
Agriculture is a way of life in the city of Gooding Idaho.

Homes closer to town or within the rural outskirts
Minimal traditional cottages, ranch styles and custom builds mix with older homes showcasing Tudor Revival, American Foursquare and bungalow designs. “We have homes that are just about 100 years old, and then we have some new homes currently under construction,” Burg says. She adds that new homes are rare, and many older homes have been lived in by the same owners for years and may require a little love and care. Streets follow a grid layout with modest yards and mature trees throughout town. However, homebuyers can find properties on an acre or many more within Gooding’s outskirts.
The median sale price is around $285,000, with prices typically ranging from $185,000 to $600,000 depending on size, condition and age. A small fixer-upper could be as low as $100,000, while a newer home with ample acreage can sell for $800,000.

Thousand Springs State Park lies about 12 miles away, offering hiking, kayaking and horseback riding.
