Boise Overview | An informative introduction to Boise, Idaho

Boise is a fascinating city. Boise is one of the most geographically isolated cities in the United States and has been experiencing tremendous growth in recent years. In this vide I briefly cover a Boise's history, population, skyline as well as a few things that make the city unique. Thanks for watching: Boise Overview | An informative introduction to Boise, Idaho.

Thanks for reviewing my home town! I’m a native here and the skyline is finally getting some height! Rumors are surfacing about a 40 story apartment building downtown, but probably won’t leave the ground, but we also have confirmed sky scrapers, and a few under construction, 15 story Element AC Hotel, which has two hotels in one, an ICCU tower, 13 stories and rises up to ~206 ft. And The Arthur, the tallest building in roof height for the valley, at 290 ft, its roof carved to imitate the peaks of the sawtooth mountains, it’s an ultra modern apartment building, and a 15 story apartment tower for the YMCA redevelopment, Ovation Tower, a 23 story apartment building rising up to ~260 feet and The London, another apartment building with 19 floors rising up to 235 ft, and finally the 18 story ~220 ft. condo tower in garden city, which is a few miles northeast of downtown Boise, which is a weird place for a high rise. Thanks for putting care into this video about this beautiful city, it’s growing fast for sure!

Thank you!! It feels a little like home to me as well

[@Dreadn0va]

Boise is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL big city EVER!!!

[@laurabagley5]

Great recap!! I grew up in Boise and you hit the highlights for sure!!!

[@CityGeek]

Thank you!! 🙏

[@jagaruni]

I grew up in Idaho but found this interesting. Growing up in Idaho Falls and Mormon, we almost always went to Salt Lake for anything urban instead of Boise. Because of that most of this was new info.

[@jameswalton9051]

This was a great summary of a jewel of the west. Boise is a fantastic city, with access to some of the greatest whitewater, camping, hiking, one related outdoor adventure. The city is large enough to offer the best of life, yet small enough to avoid the complications of big cities. Sadly, Boise and the surrounding area are one of the fasted growing metro areas in the country. Love City Geek… keep the spotlights coming.

[@CityGeek]

Thanks so much!! 🙏

[@davidpetersen6694]

Great edition to your growing collection! So many nice places to find in Boise! I liked the geothermal info on that nice sandstone Capital building, the Pedestrian segment, the ribbon of parks, and the Anne Frank memorial. I can see why Boise is growing. This was a nice second rendition of Boise for your channel. I wonder how Spokane fairs in comparison. Both are nice cities. BTW, when you are ready to make the Houston video, you will have to come visit first. My wife & I can give you a grand architectural tour. Or if that’s not possible I can give you some great facts and a nice map to see the best landmarks & skyscrapers. from David P. in Houston. 🎉 😊 👍

[@smallstudiodesign]

Thanks for sharing your hometown with us. Very interesting. We’ll have to take a visit there!

[@WilliamCrew]

Glad to see you post a new video. It is a great one too.

[@CityGeek]

Thank you!

[@JDeubel]

My first visit to Boise was a couple of years ago for a friend's wedding in the mountains of McCall. It's a fantastic little city with good food, good drinks, and friendly people at the time. The temperature was beautiful, and the cost of the food Room board was way cheaper than in many other cities I just visited. It shocked me because it was so affordable compared to where I live in Florida. Consider visiting more in the future. I want to check out wintertime and drive back up to the mountains and ski area to check it out!

[@RayQ101]

A lot of racist Nazis there though.

[@charlesnicholson7539]

I love this series!

[@CityGeek]

Lol thanks!

[@jamilalane4767]

I'd love to see Huntsville, AL!

[@bennynunez]

Great information, but you did not mention anything about the Vasque that live there. When we visited Boise this was an good place to eat Spanish food. Rare find!

[@aribasmajian18]

Colorado springs Colorado would be good to do an overview of there is a county or city ordinance i don't remember which but buildings can't be built very high because the city doesn't want the view of pikes peak to be blocked. Another city or town to review would be Denver and also coeurd'alene.

[@DonsaiRoadsOfficial]

Love smaller cities like this. Can we get an Omaha video?

[@CityGeek]

Glad you enjoy them! I actually already have 😊

[@eejintech]

would love to get a video on anchorage

[@stevegird7706]

[@julianbussells]

Any chance you could do Bangor, Maine???

[@petesplacestuff4781]

[@christiankellerman9206]

[@joememphis1571]

Boise is like a cross between Salt Lake City and Colorado Springs in my humble opinion.

[@joshgibson8398]

[@marckemp9955]

Who do I know in Boise?

[@user-sk7zc1fc5u]

Is Boise the only town in Idaho. Online it seems like it.

[@peligrosoyaventado2654]

Here’s like two smaller cities south of it but are very rural !!!

[@user-sk7zc1fc5u]

@@peligrosoyaventado2654 Definitely not rural. I live in the 18th largest county in the U.S. by area and the largest Idaho county. Our biggest city is 30 miles from me and is the county seat at 3200 population, and you talk about rural? There is a big city in our region with a metro population of 46,000, (that's taking in another nearby state). We have the two largest tributaries to the Snake River plus that river, that, that runs through the deepest canyon in North America. We have 9000+ foot mountains and more wilderness than any county in the state. I currently live 30 air miles from part of the largest wilderness areasin the lower 48, and today, it is wet and will continuing being so for the next week. We have two 4-year college, one being the University of Idaho with WSU 10 miles west. And our region has Idaho's only seaport, the Port of Wilma on the Clearwater/Snake confluence. I used to go to Boise but too many people. Spokane is a little closer but with the same people problem. I can buy anything I need in a metro area of 46,000----Costco, Winco, Walmart, plus, I can buy cannabis cream for my arthritis, in a store a half mile from my region. This is rural. And we have no interstate.

[@birbgerzdev4507]

Basically

[@sharptoothtrex4486]

Even if Boise Idaho grew more than one million by the city itself, it becomes the second largest state capital surpassing Indianapolis Indiana.

[@donlampkins2915]

Welcome to Idaho, But don't stay !!!

[@ytjoemoore94]

Good ol red state

[@simounjacobe]

There's nothing to do in Idaho. You should check out Wyoming instead. ;)

[@UnearthCreations]

Lol you mean look at buffalo and Yellowstone yeah so much more to do in Wyoming >.> other than that Idaho has more outdoor experiences he just couldn't make a video on it because it would be 2 hours long. Not trying to be mean but I don't think you know how boring the state is without Yellowstone.

[@JettTucker-sz3km]

No way

[@derrick1829]

"promosm"

[@moa8121]

Is there enough geothermal energy to power the entire city of Boise?

[@tylermichael23]

No, Most of the City and Idaho are powered with hydroelectric dams.

[@AngolanAmerican]

White state is always better to raise a family, I am black from African,and I have lived in the boise area since 2010. Trump 2024!!! My President is coming back

[@anthonyrivera0917]

Tbh, I don't really care about the smaller cities😒😒😒

[@CityGeek]

I try to switch it up but my next video will be a big city again 🏙️

[@BlueTickCH]

Stick it bruhdah 🤙 love Boise from SF , CA

[@Inkypoid]

I've lived the majority of my life in Spokane, but in recent years, I've given long thoughts on moving to Boise. Hope its not becoming too much like California.

[@peligrosoyaventado2654]

It actually is lots of Californians moving here from the Bay Area most of them with money, lots of Mexicans coming from the LA are!!

[@Inkypoid]

@@peligrosoyaventado2654 Too bad. They tend to ruin a place.
