Information about Boise

Boise is the capital city of Idaho with a population of approximately 250,000.  Average housing prices in Boise City range from approximately $70,000 to $1,000,000, however many people choose to commute to Boise from the rural setting of Canyon County, where home prices are below that of Boise City and the quality of life is quiet and laid back.  The median home price in Ada County is $119,900 and in Canyon County it is $86,900.  Rental prices range from $700-$1,000/month and start at about $500+a month for apartments or condos.

There are full medical facilities which include two regional medical centers, a V.A. hospital, two psychiatric hospitals, a rehabilitation hospital and 17 Nursing Homes.  Churches for all denominations are also available. There are several exceptional elementary schools, middle and high schools, private schools and day care facilities. Complementing the area's schools system is the presence of Boise State University, the largest university in the state of Idaho. 

Climate in the Boise area offers a wide variety through the four seasons.  It is characterized by a mean temperature of 51 degrees Fahrenheit; average annual precipitation of 12.11 inches, average annual snowfall of 20.9 inches, and an average wind velocity of nine miles per hour.  While averages are often deceiving, the extreme temperatures of cold and hot are still very comfortable, with typically low humidity, a sparse snowfall in the winter, and a frequent mild breeze.  Adjacent mountain areas have greater snowfall, making winter recreation very accessible.  Major recreation areas include boating, fishing, swimming, camping, and picnicking. 

Boise news and entertainment needs are serviced by 29 radio stations, 6 television stations, numerous cable/satellite communications companies, 2 daily newspapers, and 3 weekly newspapers.
