Living in Boise City — the reality
Random thought, I'm single, late 40s, and Median household income is $81,308, which feels pretty solid for the area. Poverty rate is 6.0%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $1,359 for rent here. The median home value here is around $456,000, which is pretty steep. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Diverse community
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Sprawl everywhere
- Homelessness issues downtown
