No city in Idaho is larger than Boise, which is also the state capital and the center of the Treasure Valley. Its downtown is walkable and busy with restaurants, shops and events.
What sets Boise apart is how closely city life sits beside the outdoors. The Boise River Greenbelt follows a path through the heart of the city, and foothill trails begin at the edge of town. With Boise State University and a growing job market, the city appeals to 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
