Frequently Asked Questions
Boise has many distinct neighborhoods to choose from and has something for everyone. Here are some of the best places to live when you're looking for a Boise apartment for rent:
Collister
Bordered by State Street to the south, Collister climbs north into the foothills, where the trailhead at the end of N Collister Drive opens onto the 835-acre Polecat Gulch Reserve. The Boise River Greenbelt sits just a few blocks south.
Garden City
Surrounded by Boise along the river, Garden City is known for its Greenbelt-side craft beverage corridor, with more wineries, cideries, and breweries per square mile than anywhere else in Idaho. Boise Hawks baseball and the Western Idaho Fair are also here.
Eagle
West along State Street, Eagle sits between the foothills and the Boise River, and Eagle Island State Park offers a swimming beach, picnic lawns, and more than five miles of trails just outside town.
Boise offers a foothills-and-river lifestyle with access to trailheads, the Greenbelt, and many of the region's major employers. Whether you're looking for weekend hikes, car-free rides along the river, or a manageable commute, here are some of the unique features and areas to consider:
Foothills at Your Doorstep
Collister's trailheads link directly into the Ridge to Rivers trail system, and Polecat Gulch Reserve offers hiking just minutes from home.
Greenbelt Connections
The Boise River Greenbelt runs just south of the neighborhood, providing a car-free route toward downtown Boise or west toward Eagle.
Everyday Errands Along State Street
W State Street is Northwest Boise's main thoroughfare, with grocery stores, local restaurants, and services lining the corridor.
Close to Downtown and Saint Alphonsus
The Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center campus lies roughly three miles to the south, and downtown Boise's restaurants and entertainment are a short drive east.
