Stretching from the Snake River on the north to 27th Street on its south side, Parke Avenue on the west side and Hiland Avenue on the east, Burley is the second largest city in the Magic Valley and has no shortage of convenience. Already renowned for its quality and a selection of 46,000 titles, the Burley Library hopes to move into a new, larger facility within the next four years. Burley's schools have demonstrated a dedication to academic excellence in recent years. Meanwhile, the Newcomer Center continues its tradition of providing first-rate instruction to students with limited English language skills.

Almost any concession can be reached with five minutes of driving, including an array of shopping from reliable chain stores to smaller friendly family-owned shops. Around town, residents take advantage of the city's many parks and the Cassia County Historical Society Museum.
