Collister offers trails, parks and dining options in a Boise suburb
At the base of the Boise Foothills, Collister is a suburban neighborhood known for its mix of things to do, from popular restaurants to outdoor attractions. Multiple trailheads make it easy to start a trek through the hills north of the community, while other neighborhood parks offer activities like sports and playgrounds. State Street forms the southern boundary of the area. Locally owned and chain businesses line this busy corridor, giving you a wide range of choices for shopping and dining. The road also leads right into Downtown Boise for convenient commutes.
Located at the base of the foothills, Collister is just minutes from downtown Boise.
You can find custom ranch-style homes mixed with Craftsman and Tudor-style houses.

A mix of home styles and prices across the neighborhood
Homes range from modest ranch-style houses to spacious contemporary builds and hillside estates. Streetscapes vary, too; you could end up on a shady road with towering pines and leafy trees or a sunny suburban avenue with sidewalks on either side. Home sizes are about in the middle for Boise, with an average of around 1,700 square feet. Most houses are priced between the upper $300,000s and upper $900,000s, with some outliers, with a median sale price slightly above $540,000.
Two-story modern Craftsman homes can be found throughout the neighborhood.

Trails, parks and foothill access give locals plenty to explore
Recreation is easy to find, with parks and trailheads on many of the main roads. “If you take Collister up, you go right into the Foothills trails,” says Jen Clements, an associate broker at Homes of Idaho with eight years of experience. “You see mountain bikers zooming down Collister all the time, coming home from the trails.” The Polecat Gulch Trailhead is at the northern end of Collister Drive, giving you access to nearly 200 miles of trails in the Foothills. Other green spaces, like Castle Hills Park and Catalpa Park, offer playgrounds, tennis courts and basketball courts. You can head to Willow Lane Athletic Complex for softball, or hop on the Boise River Greenbelt to bike or hike along the water.

Albertsons on State Street has you covered for groceries.
Local eateries and chain stores line the busy roads
Popular restaurants fill the area around State Street. You can start your morning with a coffee and pastry at Caffeina Roasting Company before grabbing lunch or dinner at longtime local favorite Burger N Brew. “It’s been around for years, and that’s one of the places for finger steaks, which is an Idaho staple,” Clements says. Other spots nearby include Alyonka Russian Cuisine and The Local, which serves upscale bar food and craft beer. Albertsons has two locations in the neighborhood, both on State Street. You can also shop at big-box stores like Walmart and Ross.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I personally have never had any huge issues with crime in Boise, but when little situations did arise, the police were always very alert and responsive

The outdoor recreational activities around Boise are fantastic. There are hiking and biking locations minutes from downtown and the foothills are amazing. Just an hour outside of town there is hiking, rafting, kayaking, skiing, snowboarding and so many more activities.

I don't have much experience with crime in the area but I know it exists. Drug usage is a common offence. Gun violence might also be a problem in some areas.
