North End Boise, ID

With its strong sense of community and tree-lined residential streets, the North End ranks as one of the most in-demand neighborhoods in Boise. Largely residential, the area features numerous turn-of-the-century bungalows, many divided into charming apartments. On warm evenings, the streets come alive with residents out for leisurely walks and bike rides -- in fact, the North End Neighborhood Association specifically celebrates the neighborhood's high "cruiser to car" ratio. Social life in the North End centers on the always-buzzing Boise Co-op and the cluster of restaurants and shops at the intersection of North 13th Street and West Eastman Street. The neighborhood borders Camel's Back Park, where locals gather for hiking and picnicking year-round.
