If you're researching Idaho Falls home values by zip code, you're almost certainly doing one of three things: pricing your own home before a sale, scouting neighborhoods before a purchase, or underwriting an investment. The headline numbers matter, but what matters more is understanding why the zips differ — because the same house dropped into two different Idaho Falls zip codes can easily swing $80K–$120K in market value.
Here's the 2026 breakdown, zip by zip, with the context behind the numbers.

Idaho Falls Zip Code Values at a Glance
| Zip Code | Area | 2026 Median Range | Buyer Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| 83401 | East & central Idaho Falls | $365K – $445K | Move-up buyers, relocators |
| 83402 | North & central (incl. historic north end) | $280K – $650K+ | Wide range — entry to luxury |
| 83404 | West Idaho Falls | $220K – $320K | First-time buyers, investors |
| 83406 | East (Ammon border corridor) | $400K – $520K | Newer construction, school-driven |
| Ammon (Bonneville) | East of Hitt Road | $340K – $490K | Families, D93 school zone |
| Shelley 83274 | South of Idaho Falls | $290K – $420K | Value-driven, small-town preference |
Ranges reflect typical transactional spread — not extremes. Luxury properties in the north end of 83402 and custom homes east of Hitt Road regularly exceed these ranges.
83401 — East & Central Idaho Falls
83401 is the broadest-reaching Idaho Falls zip and covers a lot of territory — from downtown and central neighborhoods east toward the Ammon city limits. Because it spans so much area, you'll find older mid-century homes priced in the $280Ks sitting just a few blocks from newer construction listed above $500K.
The eastern portion of 83401 (toward Hitt Road) is where appreciation has been strongest. It pulls from Bonneville Joint School District 93, which drives measurable demand and sustained pricing. The central portion has more age variance, so a street-by-street read matters far more than the zip average.
83402 — North & Central Idaho Falls
83402 has the widest price spread of any Idaho Falls zip. That's because it includes both modest starter inventory north and west of downtown and the historic north end — one of the most prestigious addresses in southeast Idaho.
The north end (north of Elva, along Placer and Tyndall) has stately early-20th-century homes on mature lots that routinely trade above $600K, with several trophy properties clearing $1M. A few blocks south, you can still find homes in the high $200Ks. Buyers targeting this zip need to be precise about which sub-area they're chasing.
83404 — West Idaho Falls
If affordability is the priority, 83404 is where the math works. West Idaho Falls has the largest concentration of starter homes, townhomes, and small multi-family inventory in the city, with most single-family homes trading in the $220K–$320K range.
This is the zip most investors target for rental yield — rents hold up well relative to purchase price, and tenant demand is steady thanks to proximity to employment, shopping corridors, and Idaho Falls School District 91. Appreciation has been solid, but not explosive; the value here is cash flow, not rapid upside.
83406 — East Idaho Falls (Ammon Corridor)
83406 is the fastest-appreciating Idaho Falls zip over the last three years. It covers the east-side corridor — much of it newer construction built in the last 10–15 years — along with portions that overlap into the city of Ammon.
Two forces drive this zip: inventory quality (newer homes, better finish levels, open floor plans) and school access (District 93). The combination puts sustained upward pressure on pricing even through broader market slowdowns. Expect median pricing in the low $400s, with many neighborhoods solidly in the $450K–$520K range.
Want to Know What Your Home Is Actually Worth?
Zip code averages are directional at best. In 60 seconds, request a street-level CMA — built from comps within a half-mile of your property — prepared personally by Rick Robinson or Grant Smith. No obligation, no automated "zestimate" guessing.
Get My Home's Value →Ammon (Bonneville County)
Ammon is technically its own city, but for real estate purposes it functions as Idaho Falls' most established eastern expansion. Newer subdivisions dominate — Sunnyside, Hawks Landing, Sand Creek, and others — and D93 school access keeps demand elevated year-round. Median values run $340K–$490K, with premium builders pushing inventory higher.
Shelley 83274
Shelley sits about 12 minutes south of Idaho Falls and offers meaningful value for buyers willing to trade a short commute for more house or more land. Median values run $290K–$420K. Shelley has its own school district (Shelley Joint School District 60), which is a draw for families who prefer a smaller-district experience.
Price Per Square Foot — Why It Matters More Than Zip Averages
Zip code medians tell you where buyers are paying more. Price per square foot tells you why. In 2026, Idaho Falls pricing ranges roughly from the mid-$130s/sqft in older west-side inventory to the $220s–$260s/sqft in newer east-side construction. We break this down in detail in our Idaho Falls price-per-square-foot guide.
How to Use Zip Code Data Without Getting It Wrong
- Buyers: Use zip data to narrow the shortlist, not to set your budget. A $425K house in 83406 and a $425K house in 83404 are rarely comparable.
- Sellers: Never price from zip averages. The highest-priced home in your zip isn't your ceiling, and the lowest isn't your floor. A sub-half-mile CMA is the only pricing tool worth trusting.
- Investors: Decide cash flow vs appreciation first, then let that pick the zip. 83404 optimizes for yield. 83406 and Ammon optimize for appreciation.
- Relocators: School boundary > zip code, every time. Two homes in the same zip can sit in completely different school zones.
Pro tip: If you're weighing offers on a property or thinking about listing, ask for a geographic CMA instead of a zip-level comp pull. The tighter the radius, the more precise the value.
The Bottom Line
Zip code data is useful shorthand, but it's shorthand. Idaho Falls has enough micro-market variation that the best pricing decisions always happen at the street level. Use the zip ranges above to orient yourself, then get a real comp analysis before you price, offer, or invest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Idaho Falls zip code has the highest home values?
Zip 83406 (east/northeast Idaho Falls stretching toward Ammon) and the north-end portion of 83402 hold the highest sustained median values in Idaho Falls, frequently ranging from the low $400s into the $600s+ depending on neighborhood. Newer subdivisions east of Hitt Road and historic north-end estates anchor the top of the market.
Which Idaho Falls zip code is the most affordable for first-time buyers?
Zip 83404 (west Idaho Falls) is consistently the most accessible entry point, with many homes between $220K and $320K. First-time buyers and investors targeting yield tend to concentrate here because starter homes, duplexes, and townhomes are most common.
Which Idaho Falls zip code is appreciating the fastest?
Zip 83406 and the east side of 83401 have shown the strongest appreciation over the last 36 months — driven by newer construction inventory, Bonneville Joint School District 93 demand, and proximity to Ammon employment corridors. West-side 83404 has also compressed upward as affordability buyers get priced out of other zips.
Is zip code data reliable for pricing my home?
Zip-level data is useful for directional trends but never precise enough to price a specific property. Within a single zip code, values can swing $100K+ based on school boundary, lot size, age, and finish level. Always use a street-level CMA built from within a 0.5-mile radius of comparable properties — which is what our team provides free of charge.
Which Idaho Falls zip code is best for investment property?
West Idaho Falls (83404) offers the strongest rent-to-price ratio for single-family and small multi-family rentals. East zip 83406 and newer Ammon subdivisions produce better appreciation but weaker cash flow. Your strategy (cash flow vs appreciation) should drive the zip choice.
How do I get an accurate value on my own home?
Request a street-level CMA from a local agent who actually works your specific neighborhood — not a national algorithm. Our team pulls comparable sales from within a 0.5-mile radius, adjusts for condition and finish level, and delivers a real pricing range within 24 hours. Request yours here.
