Situated at the heart of Idaho's largest city, downtown Boise combines the amenities of a modern city with the warmth and safety of a small community. During the day, the wide streets buzz with professionals. In the evening, the restaurants and bars near the intersection of West Idaho Street and North 8th Street come alive with live music and outdoor dining. Residents enjoy a range of housing options, from sleek apartments near the commercial area to single-family homes on the surrounding residential streets.
After work, residents head to Bittercreek Ale House for a draft beer and a locally-sourced, grass-fed lamb burger — for an indulgent snack, try the poutine, a local favorite. When you want an active evening, go for a run in the spacious Julia Davis Park and pause to watch people tubing down the Boise River. Well-maintained sidewalks and dedicated bike lanes enable safe walking and biking around the compact neighborhood. For trips out of town, Interstate 84 and the Boise International Airport are just five miles south.
