First-time buyers, families and retirees all have reasons to look closely at Boise. The city is home to Boise State University and a job market that continues to expand, and it serves as Idaho's capital, its largest city and the center of the Treasure Valley.
Daily life strikes a balance between urban and outdoor. Downtown is walkable, with restaurants, shops and events close together, while the Boise River Greenbelt cuts through the city's core and the foothills trail system starts where town ends.
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
