As the largest city in Idaho and its capital, Boise sits at the center of the Treasure Valley. The Boise River Greenbelt winds right through the middle of town, and the foothills trail system begins at the city's edge, giving Boise an outdoor side that few places can rival. Alongside that, a walkable downtown packs in restaurants, shops and events.

With Boise State University on hand and a job market on the rise, the city's housing ranges widely, taking in condos close to downtown, historic bungalows and newer neighborhoods.
