Boise?

[Silly]

Can anyone on here tell me about Boise? Also looking into relocating there, I hear the cost of living is cheap and the area is nice. How is the weather there? Cold, hot?

Is is mostly desert? I know Boise is the city of trees.......LOL. But, isn't ID mostly desert?

Thanks

I certainly can.
Cost of living is relatively cheap compared to other places. It is really booming here lately as more and more people find out about it, so obviously the prices go up as more people come.

The weather - it gets to be hot, usually high 90's in the summer, often reaching 100's. It's not humid here, so it is bearable.
It also gets cold in the winter. Not unbearable, but it is cold.


Yes, Idaho has desert. So does Oregon. There is also tons of mountains, lakes, rivers and streams. Lots of snow in the mountains during winter - great for skiing.

Definitely come and visit before you decide to relocate, though.

Hope I could help.

Idaho is a great place to live. and if you're in Boise, there's tons to do. No matter what the weather. if you like to ski, there are several great places. if you like to hike, there are several great places as well. camping, canoeing, fishing, relaxing, movies, shopping, go carts, dining, dancing, etc. the list goes on and on.

But as previous poster suggested, take the time to come here and visit for a week, if possible, to check things out, price the apartments, houses, or duplex's.

The Nampa and Meridian area are really growing fast. Google Idaho and you will get the state website with lots of info.

Idaho is a beautiful place... Boise especially. There is desert here, but like mentioned before, there is desert everywhere.

Prices of homes are pretty cheap compared to other states, especially if you buy or rent a place in a town right outside of Boise, such as Meridian, Nampa or Caldwell.

If you enjoy outdoor activities, then there is a lot to satisfy you around here. Hiking, skiing, climbing, camping, fishing, hunting, etc. We also have other things to do as well, such as shopping, movies, restaurants, gardens, museums, a zoo, etc.
