Boise Property Market and Real Estate Guide

(Boise, Idaho - ID, USA)

Boise is home to many corporate headquarters and with countless employment opportunities available, it is easy to see why so many people choose to buy property here. Its central location in the Boise-Nampa Metro region of Idaho, along with a high level of quality living, are major draws to prospective residents.

Crime is not a problem in this attractive city and housing costs make for great investment opportunities. Boise is a thriving hub of economics and business, yet many varied cultures and a strong sense of history makes this city fairly unique.


There is also a family-friendly ambiance to the city and its residents are famous for being open-minded and welcoming to everyone. The vibrant Basque area of the city is a popular place for visitors to explore and much of Boise's housing development occurred between 1970 and 2000.

There are four main categories of housing available in the city, with planned communities, ranch estates, foothill houses with city views and historic homes making up the choices. Everything from exclusive neighborhoods through to rented apartments can be found in Boise and the city also offers plenty of stunning natural scenery.

Renting Serviced Apartments

There are many serviced apartments for rent in the foothills of Boise, tending to be trendy and highly sought after. Many of the rented properties available offer communal swimming pools, tennis courts and gymnasiums and, while the plusher apartments command higher prices than the more basic offerings, they are considered great value for money in comparison with other large US cities.

Buying Apartments and Houses

There are no restrictions for purchasing US property as a non-national, but immigration laws will require you to have a valid visa and residential rights, along with proof of your country of origin if you intend to stay year-round. Background checks into your history will be done in great detail and can be time consuming, but are ultimately not a problem. Getting a loan can prove difficult due to a lack of a USA-based credit rating, and it is essential to be able to show proof of current and past finances.

Real Estate Agents

There is a large Basque community in Boise and as such, many of the local real estate agencies provide customers with Spanish-speaking agents. Real estate agents are found throughout the city, with the easiest method of contact being via the Internet.
