Hi, I appreciate all answers to this question. I was wondering if anyone can tell me the safer areas of Boise, the areas to somewhat avoid, and the areas to avoid all together. A friend of mine got a job transfer to Boise so on her behalf just looking for a decent place in Boise to rent an apartment and overall learn the good and bad about Boise. Thank you so much!
I've lived hear for the past 15 years and I have yet to find a place that is truly unsafe. We have a few run down neighborhoods, like any place else, but nothing I would call unsafe. You know your comfort level better than anyone, so just trust your judgement and you'll be just fine. Nampa is a little rougher, but no where near the likes of south LA or the South side of Chicago. If you want nice and inexpensive, and safe, pretty much anywhere on the bench is good. Anything west of Federal way is the bench. Further to the north, on the bench, north of Fairview, has some nice neighborhoods as well. You'll have to look at a map to see what I'm taking about.
Boise is a truly great city. It's the people that make it so.
The Pantry for REAL burgers (not the usual ones frozen with the card board taste). Don and Cathy French will give you a hard time- enjoy! Fly over the town in a small airplane- the blue astroturf at Boise State looks bright blue and out of place. The friendly natives, including me, of course. Boise and vicnity is the third fastest growing part of the US, caused either imigration or too much slip slap.
One thing that every weary traveler looking for coffee appreciates is a smile and great service. Paula, the college aged waitress working on a Monday night in downtown Boise fit this mold perfectly.
I had the pistachio gelato and a mexican mocha, both of which are wonderful.
I would highly recommend checking out this downtown coffeeshop!
The greatest thing about Bogus Basin is that it’s a short 45-minute drive from Boise, up a winding road into the mountains. Bogus has 7 chairlifts for downhill skiing and snowboarding, over 35 km. of cross-country ski trails, and a tubing hill. Skiing is popular in Boise – it’s the thing to do in winter here. It’s also a great way to escape the “inversions” that Boise is subject to in the winter, when the valley gets cold under gray skies but the ski resort is in the sun up in the mountains. Lessons are always available as are ski rentals. I actually worked here one winter during college, selling lift tickets and season passes. It beat waiting on tables : ) Call 208-342-2100 for the snow report!
Being from the UK, ie, England and Wales, Boise is rather arid compared to the 'liquid sunshine' in my homeland.
All in all though, a good place to live in regard to economics, climate and quality of life.
