Who Fits Boise's Boomtown meets basque bites?

Is Boise right for me? If you're an adventure junkie, a dog momma, or a farmer's market regular, you'll float the river, shred Bogus, and worship the City of Trees. If you're a surfer dude, a beach bum, or a Wall Street exec, you'll wonder where the ocean and investment banks went. Find out who Boise is and is NOT for in the list below.

Chandi, Our Local Expert Guiding Your Move

Chandi is Idaho born, raised, and still deeply obsessed with the Gem State, even though she now splits her time between here and South Carolina. With a mind-boggling 30 moves under her belt, she's amassed a library's worth of moving tips and tricks. She believes Idaho rewards curiosity, from small town events to overlooked trailheads and restaurants that haven't yet been popularized. She loves dinner at XVIII in Idaho Falls, welding junk into sculptures, and getting a little too excited about spiders, beetles, and other types of arthropods. At Snappy Scout, she brings sharp local instincts and hard earned insight from three decades of Idaho living.
