Review of Boise City, Idaho


Great Place to Retire, Live, and Play
Star Rating - 4/25/2019
This city has been my home off and on for about 15 years now and even though i had to leave a couple times this city has brought me back to happiness. The people are as friendly and warm as the sunny days here. The seasons are moderate and not extreme. The Capitol area is wonderful, and the city itself is beautiful abound. So many negative people have put Boise down, but that somehow it seems to be the ones that are jaded because they think that growth is too fast, or that too many 'californians' move here. This is simply not true. In fact, there was negative growth for almost a decade as many were leaving a few years back. But now good growth is come back as many weeds have left. Don't ever believe the naysayers, ever. Try out living here in Boise before putting it down. There is so much to do and so much to see and experience here.

Catherine, I'm considering visiting. Would you mind telling me, please, if you work with the Chamber of Commerce or the CVB? Are you a realtor?
