Fort Boise was established in 1834 by British fur traders, which was located 40 miles from present day Boise Idaho, at the mouth of the Boise River.

In spite of this threat, however, the United States built another fort nearby in response to the promise of gold in the near hills. Because of this and that the fort’s location along the Oregon Trail, the population rapidly increased. After the gold rush, however, the population declined. The population only began to grow again in 1872 due to the construction of the territorial prison and the U.S. Assay office in the city.

East End

The East End, like much of the rest of Boise, was first built in 1890. This area developed into a series of residential subdivisions, consisting of mostly single family homes. This district had the most rapid growth from 1910 to 1940, and it eventually grew to spread over thirty nine blocks. 

Architecturally, twenty-nine percent of the homes in this district are in the Craftsman bungalow style. Other styles that are prominent in this area include Queen Anne Cottages, American Foursquare, and a few Mission Revival designs. These styles of homes are scattered through the area, making the district diverse in the exteriors of the home.

North End

Known as Boise’s first suburban development, the North End is historically significant to the area. The first neighborhood in this area was platted in 1878, which was only a few blocks between Ninth Street and Thirteenth Street -- from Resseguie to Fort Street. Thirteen years after being established, a race for the land in this area began as speculators rapidly purchased the land here. This began a building boom that lasted 25 years.

Homes in the North End area are predominantly modestly sized bungalows.

Hays Street

The Hays Street Historic District was massively developed during the beginning of the twentieth century, the majority of which still stand today. However, as the years passed, several homes were converted into offices or demolished for parking lots. It spans an area of just under twenty-two blocks, located in the northern half of the Original Boise Townsite.

Currently, this district has a mix of land uses, including residential multi-family homes as well as offices. Historical landmarks are still present including the Queen Anne architectural style, as well as Colonial Revival, Craftsman, and Minimal Traditional.

Warm Springs Avenue

The Kelly Hot Spring was the inspiration behind the name of Warm Springs Avenue. A natural mineral spring, the water was utilized for both public and private uses in the area. This marks one of the first major usages of geothermal water in city waterworks. Because of this and the present of stately homes, Warm Springs was considered by the city as the most historically important local district. Today, Warms Springs Avenue still has grand homes with various styles in architecture.

Harrison Boulevard

A year after Idaho became a state in 1890, President Benjamin Harrison visited the fifth state he had signed into the Union. As an extension of appreciation, 17th Street was renamed to Harrison Boulevard. Because of this new association with the President, Harrison Boulevard and it's surrounding area became a very popular subdivision. Harrison eventually became one of the most innovated streets in the capital, being dubbed the “model road” by the City Engineer in 1916. This was due to the median parkway and street lights that were added to the road.

Excellent, stately homes were built in Harrison Boulevard, which accent the rolling natural terrain of the Foothills that crown the area. This is one of the most picturesque historical neighborhoods in Boise.

Why move to Boise?

Boise is the center of life in the Treasure Valley, containing 13% of Idaho’s population and the recipient of several awards for its livability. In recent years, Boise was ranked fourth out of the Top 10 Downtowns in America in “Livability.com.” It was number eight in 10 Best Places to Live in the United States, and in “Women’s Health/ Men’s Health,” Boise was ranked as the fifth most in Healthiest Cities.

One benefit to living in Boise is its joint-identity of big city bustle and small town charm. As some say, Boise life contains both high-end shopping and dining, as well as muddy hiking boots and camper trailers.

For a shopping experience, Downtown Boise is full of activity with privately owned shops that line the center of town as well as some chain stores. It is also the home of the largest mall in Idaho, the Boise Towne Square Mall, which has over 180 stores.

If you would rather spend time outdoors, visit one of Boise public parks. Julia Davis is a 43 acre park which was donated to the city of Boise in 1907. The park is more than just grass and trees, however. It is a gathering place where many community events are held annually. Furthermore, this park is home to some of Boise’s most popular venues, like the Zoo Boise, the Idaho State Historical Museum, and the Boise Greenbelt.

Other parks in Boise include Ann Morrison Park, which is 41 acres across with a paved pathway and pond, and Albertson’s Park, known for its beautiful landscaping. These public areas are favored by local citizens and those of surrounding areas, as are the lesser developed parks, like the trails around Table Rock north of Boise.

There is no limit to outdoor fun in Idaho! In the summer, many Boise residents spend time enjoying the rivers in the area. Leisurely floaters can be found relaxing down the Boise River. For those who want to try harder rapids, they go down the South Fork of the Salmon River or the Payette River at the North Fork.

Some people who live in Boise want to spend more than a day outdoors. It’s a good thing there are over 70 campgrounds in the Boise National Forest, with RV, water, camper, cabins, and good, old-fashioned camping choice available. Recreation in these campgrounds include biking, fishing, hiking, and water activities, to name a few.

Winter is incredible in Idaho, and there are still ways to enjoy the outdoors. Bogus Basin, for example, is a popular ski resort with skiing, snowboarding, and snow-tubing.

What is MLS?

The MLS is a tool used for realtors around the valley. This Multiple Listing Service allows real estate agents to list properties for sale with details about each property. The MLS is then available for realtors to use to help their clients. If their client is a buyer than the MLS will help them find a home according to their wants and needs. On the other hand, if their client is a seller than the realtor will input their property onto the MLS, thus marketing the home and making it available for buyers to see.
