At the center of the Treasure Valley is Boise, Idaho's capital and largest city. It is a place where a walkable downtown of restaurants, shops and events sits close to remarkable outdoor access.
The Boise River Greenbelt passes through the middle of the city, and the foothills trail system starts at the edge of town. Boise State University and a growing job market round out the picture, drawing first-time buyers, families and retirees.
Why people love Boise
- The Boise River Greenbelt for walking, biking and floating
- Hundreds of miles of foothills trails just outside town
- A walkable downtown with restaurants, shops and the Basque Block
- Boise State University sports, arts and events
- Skiing at Bogus Basin, a short drive up the mountain
Living in Boise
Boise's neighborhoods are far from uniform. Price, lot size and home age can vary considerably, which is why block-by-block knowledge is so valuable.
If historic bungalows appeal to you, explore the North End and East End. For newer homes, look at Southeast Boise, Harris Ranch and West Boise, and for condos and townhomes, consider the area near downtown. Jeannie can help you compare these choices.
