Events fill Boise's downtown calendar, and its walkable streets are lined with restaurants and shops. Beyond the city center, residents enjoy outdoor access that is hard to match: the Boise River Greenbelt runs through the heart of the city, and the foothills trail system begins at the edge of town.
Boise is Idaho's capital and largest city and the center of the Treasure Valley. It is also home to Boise State University and a growing job market, drawing first-time buyers, families and retirees.
