1. It's Safer Than You'd Believe
   Boise's got a reputation for being friendly. With dramatically low crime rates throughout the state, Boise is the largest city yet has less crime than even some small towns throughout the country. MSN once voted it as one of the top ten safest cities in the world.
   
   
2. It's Also Affordable, Too!
   The cost of living in Boise is average compared to the rest of the country. However, you're getting more bang for your buck when it comes to your quality of life. Boise is within minutes, not hours, to dream vacation destinations and activities that you can visit on any old Tuesday.
   
   
3. Four Seasons of Boise Bliss 
   Although Idaho does touch the Canadian border, don't think that winter lasts forever. Boise gets all four gorgeous seasons with temperatures settling in the 70s during the summer. There are over 200 sunny days per year with less than a foot of rain. There is a minimal amount of snow in the city itself too.
   
   
4. …You'll Spend Hours Outdoors
   With four gorgeous seasons giving you 365 days of beauty, you're going to want to spend a lot of time outdoors. Thankfully, there's plenty to see and do. Visit the hot springs or ski down the slopes. Bike across the greenbelt or kayak in one of their many rivers. With space for nearly every outdoor activity, outdoor recreation is at its finest in Boise.
   
   
5. Arts & Culture Abound
   Don't worry. There's plenty to do indoors as well. Boise is a cultural hub for many different arts and events. Music, cinema, comedy, theatre, and more pack every week full of the entertainment you want steps away from your front door.  
   
   
6. A Feast of Food
   Did we mention that Boise has an incredible food scene as well? One visit to the farmer's market, and you'll want to eat Boise's fresh food for every meal. You've got to try finger steaks, morel mushrooms, Idahoan grilled cheese, and the Basque cuisine that you won't find anywhere else.
   
   
7. Diverse Career Fields
   It's not all fun and games in Boise. It's also a great place for professionals.
