I have lived here for 40 years. I had 4 children in the schools here. Wendell schools at one time were considered the best in Idaho. They have lots of school sports but are lacking in the arts. The College of Southern Idaho has extension classes offered for kids and adults.
Now, there are classes with 20 hispanic to 5 whites. I think the demigraphics are wrong on the population charts.
If this doesn't bother you, then wendell is a great place to live.
We actually have one of the lowest crime ratings in Idaho
It is 19 miles to the Twin Falls exit.
There is so much to do here in the way of recreation, fishing, boating, camping and summer sports. Wendell has a public swimming pool. All you need is the time to do it.
Grocery prices are much higher in town but there is a Walmart 10 miles away. Gas prices are on average with everyone else. Hospitals within 10 miles and 2 doctor's clinics and a dentist in town.
On any night of the week you can smell cows. The locals call it the smell of money.
