Boise, Idaho - Welcome to the Treasure Valley!
Nestled in the Treasure Valley in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, Boise, Idaho, is the largest metropolitan area in Idaho. It is also the most remote metro area in the nation, which helps to create a sense of community amongst the 450,000 people who call Boise home. Early settlers were called here in the 1860s by gold in the Boise Basin. Residents of this modern-day capitol of the Inland Empire are drawn by its quality of life, top-notch universities, thriving industry, well-paying jobs, and low cost of living.
Resting where the Rockies meet the high desert, Boise residents enjoy world-class outdoor recreational activities. Hunting, fishing, camping, rafting, hiking, and the world's finest skiing are all right outside your door. Even residents of the vibrant downtown core relish the outdoors in the miles of greenbelt that runs through town along the Boise River. Hot dry summers and cool snowy summers provide the perfect conditions for savoring all that the Boise area has to offer.
From homes on the Boise River where fish and wildlife are almost on your doorstep to view homes for sale in the Boise foothills to reinvigorated neighborhoods in historic downtown, there is real estate here for everyone. Low costs of living and the well-paying industries of Boise combine to create affordable housing for many families.
