What draws people to Boise? For many, it is the balance between a walkable downtown full of restaurants, shops and events and an outdoor lifestyle that is hard to match.
The Boise River Greenbelt runs through the heart of the city, and the foothills trail system starts right at the edge of town. Boise is Idaho's capital and largest city, the center of the Treasure Valley, and home to Boise State University and a growing job market, which together attract first-time buyers, families and retirees.
