One of the beautiful parts about the Boise foothills is simply the energy. It gives an energy that really can't be explained unless you get an opportunity to experience it. The lifestyle of someone who decides to purchase or build a view home in Boise is pretty intricate. Most people enjoy entertaining. They enjoy the outdoor lifestyle. They enjoy the wildlife that comes along with it. They're out hiking, they're out biking. They're enjoying what the foothills has to offer.

My name is Nikele. I live here in Boise, and I grew up in Southern Idaho. Boise is definitely my preference of places to live. I feel very blessed to be here. We have the Four Seasons. We've got art, culture and lots of outdoor activities to do. One of the things I really like to share with people is my view, and that actually is one of my hashtags on my Instagram, which is #boiseviewhomes and wherever I go, I'm always taking pictures; almost always in the mountains or on the river or on a lake. And I really try to share what my view is so that people can learn about Idaho and learn about what we have to offer.

Boise is very blessed to have hills on both sides of our city. Boise is a river valley, so we have not just the foothills, but we also have the rim view properties, which is on the South Side of the river versus the North side. Some of the things that we see with the Boise view homes is we see brand new construction, which varies from ultra modern to very traditional. We'll see floor to ceiling windows. We will see double sided fireplaces. Just maximizing that view in every room of the house is really important.

A lot of people moving into the area that want view homes actually are coming from areas that have a view. They can find beautiful city views from the mesa. They can find beautiful Valley views from the bench and a beautiful Southern view. Where on a clear day, you can actually see the Owyhees. At the end of the day, it is about the view and it is about what they want to sit down and relax to and see what they want to wake up to in the morning. It's how they want to live their life.

I like that it's still a small town feel. You've got the farmers markets, you have kind of those local restaurants downtown, you definitely have some of the higher end restaurants that have come in that are very much local people that are there. I love that you can still buy a house there as a first time homebuyer, but you could also retire there on like an acre outlooking the lake.

Definitely, you will catch me every spare minute that I have if it's not snowing and iced over, paddle-boarding on that lake. And not only that, you have the Wildlife Refuge area that's got hiking trails out there, hiking in general, we've got miles of green belt that you can ride your bikes on. There's fishing at the Wilson ponds, if you want to go fishing there, it's great recreation in Nampa.

I feel like we are kind of the Napa of our Treasure Valley because we ultimately do sit right in the middle of that Snake River Valley wine region, 15 minutes to St Chapelle sawtooth Indian creek, which was one of my favorites. You've got a ton of wineries that you can go to. They have Sunday afternoon wine tastings out at Indian Creek during the summer. At St Chapelle, you can go and watch jazz bands. It's phenomenal.

I think the vibe is amazing. Any night of the week I've gone out, I've taken clients out to some of the restaurants, to the coffee shops, to some of the local Hangouts. I mean, and you always have that wide variety of ages of people out. There's game nights at the Flying M. We just got Boise fry with an outdoor patio. And then if you want to go get, you know, a microbrew from one of the awesome breweries, which Napa has a brewery now go down to pre Funk, it's right there. Messenger pizza is like by the slice pizza. Amazing, they barely fit in the back of my car.

There is truly a wide range of things that you could do, and there's always people just kind of out and about in the community. You could be there as a first time homebuyer. The resale is amazing because no matter what, if you want to start in real estate and you're building from a first time homebuyer to retirement, you're always going to have that buyer coming in. But if you're kind of moving in as a retirement age, you're always going to have that buyer as well because there's more acreage homes. You have the 55 plus communities, but then you also have the recreation.

I mean, you've got everything you need there. I mean, we've got the revitalization of downtown Nampa. We just got the new library, which has a ton of great activities. What I love and what I'm seeing a ton of is just so many options for people as far as what type of developments going in. I mean, if you want acreage to, you know, subdivision living, you can have it. I mean, if you wanted to just make Nampa your community, you would never have to leave it.
