About Boise
Boise is home to St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center, a 436-bed hospital that has served the citizens of the Treasure Valley for more than a century. Known as the “City of Trees,” Idaho’s capital is both a cultural center and a playground for those who love the outdoors.
A vibrant downtown area affords fine dining, theatre, music, and college and semi-professional sports.
Located within minutes of premiere ski slopes, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, and soaring basalt cliffs, Boise’s location provides stunning mountain views and majestic high desert sunsets.
Boise’s Greenbelt follows the beautiful Boise River corridor for more than 30 miles, providing the perfect venue for bicyclists, walkers, and bird watchers alike. The Boise foothills are home to miles of foothill and mountain trails as well as Bogus Basin Ski Resort.
Area growth over the past two decades has led to a strong local economy, and Boise’s leading employers include high-tech businesses, several Fortune 500 companies, state government, universities, corporate headquarters, and regional health centers. This rapid growth means booming new construction and lots of newcomers. But despite our growth, Boise maintains a friendly neighborhood feel.
