About Boise, ID

The Boise community's unique combination of urban conveniences and small-town charm is quickly earning Boise Idaho real estate a top position on the national stage of desirable places to live. Boise is the capital city of Idaho and is home to a population of approximately 220,000 people. The name Boise comes from the French word "les bois" which means "the woods" and has earned Boise the nickname of "The City of Trees".

The high desert landscape is composed of abundant trees, the beauty of the Boise river, the splendor of the wrinkled Boise foothills and distant views of the Owyhee Mountains. The climate is semi-arid and gives way to four even and distinct seasons, each of which present their own beautiful views and awesome recreational opportunities. The quality of life in the city is defined by its low crime rate, excellent public education system, relatively low cost of living, expanding opportunities for the arts, abounding recreational activities, economic support for small businesses, and the noticeable friendliness of the community.

Whether you are looking for an urban condo, a luxury home on the river, a single family home in a master planned neighborhood, a low cost investment property, a historic bungalow, or an acreage property with room to spread, Boise ID real estate has something to offer you!
