Single-family homes. Data: Altos Research, week of October 5, 2026.

Walkability is one of Boise's strengths. Downtown brings restaurants, shops and events within easy reach, and the city's outdoor offerings are just as close, with the Boise River Greenbelt running through its center and the foothills trail system starting at the edge of town.

As Idaho's capital and largest city, Boise is the center of the Treasure Valley. Boise State University and an expanding job market help explain why first-time buyers, families and retirees are drawn here.
