  • North EndNorth Boise is commonly known as downtown and where you will find historic homes and neighborhoods, including the tree-lined Harrison Boulevard.  Many are renovating turning-of-the-century North End bungalows and renewing Boise's original neighborhoods.  Hyde Park is located in the middle of the North End, with small shops and popular restaurants.

  • NortheastThe character of this neighborhood northeast of downtown is heavily influenced by the historic Warm Springs Avenue.  Large Victorian homes make the avenue a tourist attraction and many of the houses are geothermal heated.  The foothills are located in the East End, which includes many modern homes with enviable view of the city.  Northeast Boise also contains some of Boise's largest parks.
