Boise Real Estate

Overview

At once hip, trendy and down to earth, the Boise neighborhood is a remarkable example of a thriving urban neighborhood with a home-town feel. Once a lonely outpost in the Northeast quadrant of Portland, this area has been revitalized in recent years and is now considered a destination spot by locals and tourists alike.

Affectionately known by natives as the Mississippi District after the street on which you’ll find most of the 40 or so shops and restaurants that make this area so popular, Boise is located just a few minutes from downtown, the Alberta Arts area and historic Peninsula Park.

Parks & Recreation

DeNorval Unthank Park is the neighborhood’s local getaway for picnics, softball and basketball games and children’s activities, while the Boise-Eliot Community Garden is offers residents an opportunity to get their hands dirty while having fun. Just North of Killingsworth Street is Peninsula Park, with its sunken Rose Garden, Community Center, heated outdoor swimming pool and lovely walking paths.

Real Estate

The Boise neighborhood is packed with Portland charm in the form of Bungalows, Portland Foursquare homes, and a few Victorians. New construction of energy efficient Lofts and Condos is concentrated in the center of the Boise neighborhood around North Mississippi Avenue.
