Did you know I live in Hillcrest? This was the neighborhood where I sold my very first home as a real estate agent—and it’s become so much more than just where I live. It’s my community. A place filled with neighbors who look out for each other, stop to say hello, or even stay for a chat.

What makes Hillcrest so special?
It’s the mature trees that line every street. The neighbors who’ve lived here for 30, 40, even 50 years. The Hillcrest Country Club and Golf Course, the quiet beauty of the New York Canal, and the easy access to the rest of the city—without the hustle and bustle. We have two neighborhood schools, plus a dog park. It’s not unusual to see kids riding bikes, dogs being walked, and nearly everyone out mowing their lawn, or raking their leaves (depending on the season). It’s clean, friendly, and just far enough off the beaten path to feel tucked away.

I specialize in real estate on the Bench and have become a trusted resource for my friends and neighbors. If you or someone you know is looking to buy or sell in this incredible neighborhood, I’d love to help.

The Treasure Valley is home to several highly-rated school districts.

Outdoor Activities

Boise’s extensive park system includes over 90 parks, providing ample space for family outings. The Boise River Greenbelt offers miles of scenic trails perfect for biking and walking. In Eagle, Eagle Island State Park is a favorite for swimming and picnicking. Meridian’s Settlers Park features playgrounds and splash pads, while Nampa’s Lakeview Park is great for fishing and boating.

Boise and the surrounding area are known for great family-friendly events and festivals as well.  One of my personal favorites is the Night Glow at the Spirit of Boise Festival held annually at Ann Morrison Park. There are countless other outdoor festivals and events around Boise, Meridian, and Eagle that families love to partake in.  Check out my top events for kids article here.
