I'm considering moving to Boise in the next few years. I'm considering a few other places as well, but the Boise River Greenbelt and affordable apartments nearby it have made Boise move very high up the list. Most of the other places I've considered don't have a nice long bike trail right through town that leads downtown (if they have a 15+ mile bike trail at all). I would love to be able to hop on the trail on a Saturday for long ride, get lunch or dinner downtown, and then ride some more. This and many other reasons make Boise seem pretty perfect.
My one concern is what I've read about the singles scene in Boise in other threads on this forum. I'm in my mid-30s and will be in my mid-to-late 30s when I move with no kids. I'm fairly liberal and not particularly religious. Am I going to have a hard time meeing people to date or making friends? I really like the sound of Boise, but don't want to move out there and be alone.
Glad to know Boise is high on your list! I have lived all around the world, and love it here for many of the reasons you mentioned.
I met my wife at Boise State University and have been married since 1983 so I can't offer much guidance on the singles scene in Boise except to say if you are active and get out and about - you are sure to meet lots of potentials who are like minded.
