About Student Housing in Boise
Boise has become one of the fastest-growing mid-size cities in the country, and its rental market has adjusted accordingly — rents have risen sharply over the last five years, surprising students who expected affordable mountain-west prices. Boise State University drives most of the student demand, centered around the BSU campus on the Boise River. The North End and BSU-adjacent neighborhoods fill fastest each spring. The city compensates with genuine outdoor access, a walkable downtown, and a bike trail system along the Greenbelt that makes car-free commuting realistic from many neighborhoods.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Boise
Near BSU (Capitol Boulevard Corridor)
The primary student zone — walking distance to Boise State's campus, with dense apartment buildings and some older houses converted to student rentals. Fills by February for the following fall.
North End
Boise's most desirable neighborhood — tree-lined streets, walkable, close to downtown and within biking range of BSU. Pricier than near-campus zones but with better quality of life. Popular with upperclassmen and grad students.
Southeast Boise
More affordable than the North End and BSU corridor, with newer apartments. Bus and bike access to campus is reasonable. The tradeoff is less neighborhood character.
