North End: historic tree-lined streets by the foothills
Boise's oldest and most walkable neighborhood,with Hyde Park at its heart,and Camel's Back Park and the foothills trails a short stroll away. It appeals to buyers who want character, charm,and the outdoors woven in.
Living in North End
The neighborhood that made Boise famous
Founded in the late 1800s,and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The North End is Boise at its most charming. Stately Craftsman, Queen Anne, and bungalow homes line Harrison Boulevard,and a low-traffic, tree-lined grid rewards walking and bike rides from Hyde Park to the foothills.
It appeals to buyers who want established intown living, a real neighborhood feel, and instant access to trails, parks, and the river, with downtown a short ride away. Historic homes on modest lots mean price per square foot runs higher here, so the right fit depends on your budget and what you want to maintain.
