Anyone from Boise, ID? Can you tell me what is this neighborhood like in ####. W ASHLAND Boise, ID Can I do STR in this area? Any regulations I need to know regarding STR in Boise ? Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi @Haiyan Xie! I actually live a few blocks from this address and run a STR property management business here in Boise. You should be good to go as far as running a STR there (barring that there's not an HOA there the prohibits them).
Idaho, in general, is very friendly to Airbnb, VRBO, and STRs - they have legislation in place that protects and promotes them. However, last year the City of Boise tried to pass legislation that cracks down on STRs (doesn't prohibit them them but would have created rules that would make it harder for out of town investors to operate them). Luckily, the legislation was very unpopular and was struck down pretty hard, they ended up dropping it (https://www.boirealtors.com/boises-proposed-short-term-rental-regulations-update/).
Let me know what other questions you might have, would love to connect and talk about the neighborhood, STRs, etc.
Yes I am from Boise and know that area well. Sorry but not sure what STR is. But that neighborhood does not hve any HOA's that I can see that are being inforced. message me if you would like to know more
I live about 130 miles east of Boise, Idaho, & am familiar with both this city in Idaho, as well as with the valley that Boise sits in. (This valley currently has the worst amount of COVID-19, as is in Idaho, by August 2020. And this might be due to a rebellious mood of young people there, at the prospects of having to obey restrictions for combatting this virus. Additionally the anti-government grouping, which has arisen just eat of Las Vegas, in the last few years; it has set up efforts to gain Idaho people, as followers of this movement, with said leaders are now based in satelite towns, near to Boise. And one of their leaders, in 2020, is promoting that Idaho people not obey behaviors against this virus, including that he is against having to wear masks in public.) And of anywhere in Idaho; Boise is best for a more diversified economy, able to better weather Recessions, that the rest of Idaho. And which makes Boise, or locations near Boise, as better for Rentals, for tenants able to pay rent in Recessions. In one newspaper of Boise, the Idaho Statesman, in one of them, a few weeks ago, it had an article, that the Boise real estate market is currently a sellers' market, as bidding wars by buyers, are in progress, in which houses are being over-paid for, by 10's of thousands of dollars, just so some buyers can have an house to live in, for 2020, in this valley, which is cosmopolitan, & similar to many other U.S. big cities. And if Boise continues to grow in population, as it currently is; then I expect that Hiwy 95, which feeds into Boise, out of Nevada, will be slowly turned into a formal freeway, so that transport, in-n-out of Boise is better effected. At this present time, the only freeway through Boise, is Freeway 84, which runs east & west, & a freeway, which is in large part, why Boise has been able to grow so much in population, form the 1960's. In the 19th century, Boise was called "the Athens of the West", due to its civic-minded people, who were also interested in education, as well as having a modern court system, promoting U.S. freedoms. And Boise, as city, was founded, in effect, by executive orders of Pres. Lincoln, in 1863, as this President worried that there needed to be a town set up, near the Boise River, on the Oregon Trail, as part of Union war efforts in winning the Civil War. Given the expanses of empty land form Mountain Home, to Ontario, Oregon, with Boise about in the mid-point between these two just named towns; this part of Idaho can easily accomodate more houses put in this part of Idaho, with conceivably a future population of 5 million.

@Haiyan Xie you can do STR in that subdivision. I think that location lends itself well for it due to the proximity to the interstate and all the entertainment venues and restaurants nearby.
Yes, a STR is allowed in this area. I was born and raised in Boise is this neighborhood and have flipped and sold many houses for clients there over the years. It's a popular neighborhood with many mid-century homes. Some remodeled and many still in original condition. I'm happy to answer other questions you may have. Feel free to send me a DM.
