Review of Boise, Idaho


Great place to live; especially for families
Star Rating - 6/28/2020
I've lived in Boise for twenty years. It has grown quite a bit but still maintains a "smaller town" feeling rather than the "small town" it once had. Weather is mile, lots of outdoor recreation and the Boise State Bronco Football Team. Very low crime, moderate COL, is not redneck despite they media hype. Awesome place for families. Lots of trees, parks, things to do in town. Caldwell - Nampa- Meridian- Boise is really the metro area.
Can get smoke from forest fires.

You can buy smoke in the forest? Great I’ll move then! I don’t want to leave Colorado but too many people if I can still get my marijuana up there I’m in! legal or not.

Christian, I think "COL" means Cost of Living.
