Part of
City of Boise
Northwest Boise runs along the State Street corridor and up against the western foothills — established neighborhoods such as Collister, Pierce Park, and Veterans Park, with quick access to both downtown and the hills.
It's a practical, leafy part of the city: a mix of mid-century and newer homes, close to the river, the Greenbelt, and trailheads, with ongoing investment along State Street making it more connected over time.
