Teton County, created in 1915, lies in eastern Idaho along the Wyoming border, directly west of Jackson Hole. The county seat is Driggs, with Victor and Tetonia as other notable towns. Nestled within the Teton Valley, the county enjoys world-famous scenery — the western slopes of the Teton Range rise dramatically above open meadows and forests, creating one of Idaho’s most photographed landscapes. Originally settled by trappers and homesteaders, the area’s agricultural roots remain strong, but in recent decades tourism and real estate have transformed Teton County into one of Idaho’s most desirable regions. Many residents work in Jackson, Wyoming, commuting through Teton Pass for access to high-paying jobs while enjoying Idaho’s more affordable housing. Homes here range from rustic log cabins and ranches to modern mountain chalets and luxury retreats. The market is competitive, driven by second-home buyers and outdoor enthusiasts. Median existing-home prices hover around US $650 K–$750 K, while premium properties often exceed US $1 million. Building new homes typically costs US $500 K–$900 K, depending on design and lot elevation. Teton County is distinctly rural yet cosmopolitan in feel — local farmers’ markets coexist with boutique shops, and mountain biking trails meet ski resorts. It’s ideal for nature lovers seeking proximity to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks while maintaining a tight-knit small-town atmosphere.
