I was in Boise for a year in 2019 as an exchange student, people in Boise were really kind and nice. It's been a year since i came back to Korea, I still miss Boise and wanna visit there again someday. I was planning to go to Boise this winter but it messed up because of Corona Virus. I Hope to have another chance to visit.. Go Big Blue !! (Written by a student from South Korea)
Used to live in boise for many years , I really love the people , so respectful, so nice , low crime as well , this an amazing place to be, great place to raise our kids , love boise idaho
Thank you for this awesome video! I’m from Los Angeles, California, Navy Veteran. My girlfriend and I plan on moving to Boise next year in March. We are republican and wanted to come here mainly to get out of California but also go somewhere it’s RED and beautiful. We are even more excited now after watching this video. Thank you 🙏🏽
Not sure whatever happened, but from what I’ve been gathering, Boise is leaning super left like a San Francisco, homelessness is on the rise, etc…I sure hope it’s not true because the rest of the US does NOT need to be infested with that
I was raised in Boise. My parents moved there in about 1948 after the end of WWII. My grandparents lived in Parma Idaho. I graduated from Borah High School. I left Boise in 1965 and moved to Bellingham, Washington to finish college. I ended up in Canada as a school teacher, married and lived in northern Alberta and am now retired in Kelowna, B.C. For many years I traveled to Boise regularly to visit my parents, cousins and uncles and aunts. So I kept in touch with family from Idaho. It has been almost 20 years since I have returned to Boise, but from the sixties to the 90s I was a regular visitor to Boise. I still have a cousin living in Boise and two just across the border in Oregon. I miss the visits. I thoroughly enjoy the videos as they bring back many memories, but it is obvious that Boise has changed dramatically since I last visited in the 90s.
Moved here a few months back as we left California behind, best place in America right now, our home just went up over 80K in last 3 months too. Extremely clean area with good respectful kind folk & lots of wonderful restaurants & mom & pop stores, like going back in time to a better America! Thanks for doing it justice Jeff!
Great Tour, I felt like I was actually in Boise and walking around myself on this tour and it was so informative. Thank you for sharing this. Great information
Very nice! I was born in Boise, but moved when I was 6 - to California. Now I wish I was back there. My grandparents lived in a house my great grandfather built in an area called "the bench" up above the college. Beautiful view from there.
@@IslandHopperTV Hi quick question where you you visit. I want to take my family on vacation boise idaho or Arizona and any places you would definitely go to. Thanks in advance
I've never really given much thought about what life would be like in Idaho, never been to that part of the country. These last few days I've been looking up tidbits of info about Boise and the more I learn, the more I want to visit. It seems like a nice, safe, charming city. Looks like there's some decent breweries out that way too.
You missed out. The craft beer in southern Idaho is amazing! Part of what makes Boise beer different is all the locally grown hops. Also the winery's here are some of the best. If you ever have a chance take a tour on a wine crawl bus.
@@xanderdoesthings-q4h People see what they want to see, the facts about this area are widely available & speak for themselves. As someone who has lived in many States from Maine to California I know a well kept & safe city when I see it as many others also have witnessed first hand. Perhaps come here & see it for yourself instead of relying on the vastly unreliable internet.
@@vinniecorleone62 you are on the internet, telling me to disagree with the "vastly unreliable internet". I'll take the FBI's statistics over your opinion. See for yourself! ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2017/crime-in-the-u.s.-2017/tables/table-8/table-8-state-cuts/idaho.xls If what you mean by "safe" is "mostly-white", then sure, Boise is safe. Also, Boise was the only part of Idaho I didn't feel safe sleeping in my car. So I have been there, and your mileage may vary.
@@xanderdoesthings-q4h It is rated 8th safest city in the world. Every city on the planet has issues & problem people but my experience here over the couple years I have been coming here & now living here is a very noticeable one compared to every city in America I have traveled to or lived. I lived in my car for a couple years when my dad kicked me out at 17 & know how difficult & scary it can be, I am truly sorry if you have to be in that same situation my friend here or anywhere else, I pray you find a solution that works for you soon.
Nice videos of the northwest US and Boise Jeff, thanks. Heard lots of great things about Boise, but I have never been there. I’m traveling too, in St. Louis now and was in Bentonville, AR this morning (northwest Arkansas is beautiful too.)
Yes, the city was named Boise because the french surveyor yelled "Les bois! Les bois!" when gazing at the beautiful nature of the area. This the name Boise stuck
I am just now learning about Idaho! According to what I'm hearing and seeing so far Idaho is very spiritually and consciously advanced and maybe they don't get enough credit ... And the land is amazing I'm finding out as I'm driving through Idaho literally right now as we speak... Well I'm at a rest stop currently but yeah
Hey, you have that Phoenix channel! I knew I recognized your voice. I used your videos for reference when I moved there in 2019. I'm in FL now due to the Corona virus and immediate family, but moving to Boise soon. Thanks!
Boise is in Ada County, not Bonneville County as stated in video. You just saw/read one of the many different county name plates on the light poles near the Capital Building. Glad you liked our city. Nice Video.
Nice tour of the city of Boise. The capital of Idaho is surrounded by small towns, like Meridian and Eagle, that originally were agricultural communities. These towns now are the base for expansion of the Boise metropolitan area because there is ample farm land for development. If transplants from large cities want a few acres, not just a lot, it is available to them, with local shopping malls with all the services they had in the cities from which they emigrated. The metropolitan area has a population of 750,000, three times that of the city of Boise.
There are a lot of conservatives in California. Most of the Californians moving (or considering to move) to Idaho are conservatives. Idaho being a red conservative state is a big draw to many of us Californians.
The most beautiful moments of my life was when I visited Phoenix, AZ during fall thru winter, weather was awesome! Between 55-75 degrees all this season! I would totally move to Idaho alone if the weather is similar.
Boise is centrally located if you enjoy outdoors activities. It’s been 10 years since I left but the Boise river runs right through town and is parkland on either side for much of it. Bike and walking paths and a shuttle bus that can take you and a rented raft a few miles upriver from where you can float down back to your starting area. Whether you like boating (Lucky Peak Lake) snow skiing, white water rafting, hunting, fishing or off-roading/dirt back riding, all are a very short drive away. Eagle is where a lot of the money is. Two negatives are lack of diversity and the fact that the area is home to the world’s slowest drivers.
I read much good things about Boise, this place look beautiful. I am curious is the Boise friendly to foreigners? I am Indian and I only visit the NYC before, is it this place easy to travel to from NYC?
There is an Indian population here and many foreign families. I am Asian American and have been here all my life. Trust me Boise is a very nice place to live.
I've been in Boise my whole life. Id say since about 2010 Boise has become very diverse with people. I have been to New York where you have a much larger population so it wouldn't be like there with as many people from each race/ethnic background. The Hispanic population is highest behind Caucasian I think.
Island Hopper TV sure!, i believe there is a strong basque comunity in Boise, both spanish and french (Basques belong to both countries, Spain and France), beautiful city indeed!
@@IslandHopperTV They are really Spanish. It is a French influenced area of Spain, but Basque is indeed a territory of Spain. Much like Louisiana is influenced by France, but is in America (albeit Basque actually touches France).
Any thoughts on best town/city you would prefer to live in between Prescott, Missoula, or Boise? I understand different populations, but your thoughts or anyone interested to chime in would be great!
Please Check at the Boise Basque festival if you are interested it's about food and Basque culture who settle here in Boise they were mostly Sheepherder, i think it's the biggest community in USA. Maybe you like to make a video about them.
Hey you scrolling in the comments. Ill save you some time. Ready? " Blah blah blah Californians go home. Its a Red state, we want to keep it that way. Blah blah blah Liberals. Blah blah blah, Jesus and potatoes. Don't California my Idaho."
1:27 Wouldn't make much sense. If a french had yelled "Les bois!", that would've sounded like "Le boAH!". I believe the name comes from the corruption of the word "Boisée" (Boa-ZAY), which is french for wooded.
As long as there aren’t any buildings that are boarded up like you would see in the downtown areas of Louisville, Kentucky; and the local restaurant industry isn’t financially devastated because of the coronavirus pandemic like it is in Louisville, Kentucky; Boise will retain that quality of life; and be attractive to anyone with a substantial amount of money that’s considering moving to the Boise area suburbs!
The mayor of Boise has put the city in "Phase 3" of their covid pandemic plan. Bars are closed and the downtown nightlife has been suffering. Also, October weather is quite unpredictable in Boise. It can be 72 deg. one day and 26 and snowing the next. In the warmer months, downtown is very busy.
Looks and feels very much like Salt Lake City, Utah. Clean and peaceful asf. What the rest of America used to be and should be. The mountains, oceans, canyons, forests, and deserts - all within a 4-8 hour drive or a 2 hour flight at most. Just hope the woke crowd and homeless, addicts from the usual suspect states don't show up here. And of course, the shoplifters, people who run illegal food trucks, street food stands... Idaho seems like a place where all this would be dealt with an iron fist in a hot minute. Namaste.

Its just a great place to live, wonderful people, considerate and kind. I have been here since 1992. Grew up in California.
Is it very congested with people or traffic? It doesn't seem like it. I may be relocating there for work. I am also a California native.
That's when my parents moved here from san Diego! Haha you guys be the real OG Californians moving to Idaho before it became a popular trend haha

Hey i'm french so here's a little addition: "boisé" means "full of trees", "bois" means "wood" or can also be used as an equivalent for "forest".
