'Treasure Valley' offers opportunity, great outdoors

Boise is growing, but it’s not too late to get in.

Over the past couple of years, the Idaho state capital has been named one of the best cities to start a business, one of the best cities for first-time homebuyers and one of the hottest real estate markets for millennials.

Nicknamed the “City of Trees” and heart of the area known as “Treasure Valley,” Boise is home to the headquarters of grocery chains including Albertsons and WinCo Foods. Other major employers in the area include Micron Technology, HP and Wells Fargo.

Boise is the third-largest metro area in the Northwest, according to the Boise Valley Economic Partnership.
