Things to do 📆
Let’s get to it.
📰 In the news
Buyers gain leverage: Boise home sales stalled this Spring, but with rates dipping to 6.84% and inventory on the rise, buyers are poised for a Summer rebound — read more.
Boise’s top management pay: Computer and information systems managers, financial managers, and architectural and engineering managers led the pack in May 2024 with median annual salaries up to $163,730 — see the full rankings.
Early riser breakfast options: Boise’s Tipsy Chef Cafe, Merritt’s Family Restaurant, Eddie’s, Capri, and IHOP open before 7 AM so you can skip weekend brunch lines and grab bacon, pancakes, or hash at dawn — fuel up early here.
College funding: With fall semester approaching, it’s a good time to explore student loan options. Co-signed loans often come with better rates and higher approval odds, and many lenders provide pathways to release co-signers after establishing good payment records — CollegeAve makes the entire process a breeze.

Two-wheel TLC: Whether you’re dodging potholes or conquering gravel trails, George’s Cycles keeps your ride rolling smoother than your favorite playlist.

One enthusiastic zoomie sesh could cost you $6,000+. Between the emergency visit, X-rays, surgery, pain meds, and months of physical therapy, it adds up quicker than Spot chasing a tennis ball. The good news? This pet insurance plan offers up to 90% cash back on the bill.

Christina Ward and Heather Skow (Keller Williams Realty Boise) – 4 bedrooms | 4 bathrooms | Built in 2004 | 4146 sqft
Perched high where Boise shows off its best angles, this craftsman charmer serves up panoramic foothill views from nearly every window—no filter needed. Hickory floors keep things cozy, while 10-foot ceilings in the daylight basement practically beg for cartwheels (or at least dramatic entrances). The kitchen’s alder cabinets and island are ready for culinary masterpieces or midnight snack raids, with a breakfast nook that’s basically an invitation to linger.
Upper and lower decks double down on the scenery, while the main-level master suite whispers “VIP only.” Downstairs, a rec room and bonus craft lair (fifth bedroom, anyone?) await creative shenanigans. Oversized garage? Check. Covered porch for people-watching? Double check. Direct trail access means the foothills are your backyard, and Hyde Park, Camel’s Back, and downtown Boise are just a quick jaunt away.
