Single-family homes. Data: Altos Research, week of November 2, 2026.

As the largest city in Idaho and its capital, Boise sits at the center of the Treasure Valley. Few places match its mix of outdoor living and city amenities: the foothills trail system begins right where town ends, the Boise River Greenbelt winds through the middle of the city, and the downtown is easy to explore on foot, packed with shops, restaurants and events.

With a growing job market and Boise State University in town, the city has a broad mix of housing, including historic bungalows, newer neighborhoods and condos close to downtown.

Living in Boise

Price, lot size and the age of homes can differ widely from one neighborhood to the next, so local knowledge of those block-by-block differences is worth having.
