Boise has been named City of Trees for a reason! It’s foliage-dense location in the Treasure Valley boasts easy access to hiking, biking, and skiing adventures. Explore the nearby Boise National Forest and discover the scenic beauty that surrounds the city.

Boise residents are known for their friendliness and strong community spirit – they are also the first to endearingly, and comically educate on the pronunciation of Boise as “Boy-see”, rather than “Boy-zee”! You’ll find no shortage of fun at community events, local traditions, or opportunities to join a new club or volunteer to connect with your new neighbors and make lasting friendships.

Boise’s thriving arts scene includes theaters, galleries, and cultural festivals. Immerse yourself in local art and culture to gain a deeper appreciation for the city’s creative spirit.

Boise’s culinary scene is on the rise, with a diverse array of restaurants offering everything from international cuisine to farm-to-table dining experiences – you are sure to find a seat at some tasty tables!

Boise offers excellent educational opportunities, with top-rated schools and higher education institutions such as Boise State University, University of Idaho, and more. The Boise School District has 33 elementary schools, 8 junior high schools, and 5 senior high schools.

When considering a relocation or career advancement, the employment landscape and the variety of companies in a city play a crucial role. Boise stands as the home to several prominent businesses in the state including Micron, Simplot, Scentsy and more – with key players spanning technology, food production, energy, and manufacturing sectors among the major employers.
