Boise, ID Apartments for Rent

Nestled in the scenic Treasure Valley of southwestern Idaho, Boise combines city living with outdoor adventure. The state capital sits along the Boise River with the foothills as its backdrop, earning its nickname "The City of Trees" from French-Canadian fur trappers who noticed the tree-lined river valley amidst the high desert landscape. For those considering apartments in Boise, the market offers everything from downtown lofts to suburban communities, with one-bedroom apartments averaging $1,429 per month.

Boise's extensive outdoor recreation includes over 190 miles of trails in the Ridge to Rivers system, a 25-mile Greenbelt along the Boise River, and skiing at Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area, located 16 miles from downtown. The city's cultural attractions feature the Boise Art Museum, Idaho Shakespeare Festival, and the historic Basque Block, home to one of the largest Basque communities outside of Spain. Employment opportunities span across various sectors, with major employers including Micron Technology, St. Luke's Health System, and Albertsons. The city experiences four distinct seasons, with warm, dry summers and moderate winters that accommodate year-round activities.

Why Boise?

  • Boise State University, home to the Broncos college football team.
  • A large Basque community with restaurants, a museum, and market.
  • Outdoor fun includes golfing, skiing, boating, hiking, biking, and snowboarding.
  • As the capital of Idaho, Boise is a cultured city with museums and art galleries.
  • Fishing in Barber Park and Ann Morrison Park, and floating down the Boise River.
  • Downtown Boise offers great nightlife, excellent shopping, and fabulous dining.
