Single-family homes. Data: Altos Research, week of October 5, 2026.
A river runs through the middle of Boise, and the Boise River Greenbelt follows it straight through the heart of the city. Add a foothills trail system that begins at the edge of town and a walkable downtown filled with restaurants, shops and events, and you get an outdoor lifestyle that is hard to match. Boise is also Idaho's capital, its largest city and the center of the Treasure Valley.
Boise State University calls the city home, and the job market keeps growing. That combination draws first-time buyers, families and retirees.

Living in Boise
Housing here spans a wide range. Historic bungalows line streets in the North End and East End, newer homes fill Southeast Boise, Harris Ranch and West Boise, and condos and townhomes sit close to downtown.
Prices, lot sizes and home ages shift considerably from one neighborhood to the next, so block-by-block knowledge matters. Maury can help you weigh those differences.
