It is a family-friendly area, popular with professionals and those working at nearby facilities like the Idaho National Laboratory and the Idaho Falls Airport.
Housing
Housing in Tobin primarily consists of well-maintained, single-family homes built from the 1970s through the early 2000s, featuring traditional and ranch-style architecture.
