Situated just seven miles northwest of Idaho’s capital city, Northwest Boise provides a compact suburban community on the edge of sprawling outdoor destinations. Renters can find large-scale apartment communities rich in amenities as well as single-family homes for rent. There’s a collection of shops and restaurants on the community’s southeastern corner, including Indian cuisine, American cafes, grocery stores, and more. The real draw of Northwest is its proximity to hiking trails and Shafer Butte, an incredible mountain peak that’s a part of the Boise Ridge Mountains. In the warmer months, Northwest Boise is prime hiking territory, and the colder months make for incredible skiing.
