Boise is...
the perfect blend of big city life with small town flair. There
are great schools, plenty of shopping and entertainment—nightclubs,
restaurants, wineries—and recreation for every sport
and every season.
The lifestyles of many residents evolve with the breathtaking seasons in the Treasure Valley. Spring starts off with the Gene Harris Jazz Festival. Summer warms up with the Western Idaho State Fair, Art in the Park, and, for the outdoor enthusiasts, white water rafting, camping and hiking. Fall means Boise State University football, trout fishing on the Boise River and special events at the 175-animal Zoo Boise. Winter ushers in skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, Idaho Steelheads hockey and The Festival of Trees.
Downtown Boise has something for everyone in your family, from arts and culture to outdoor recreation. Downtown dining—casual to four-star cuisine—will beckon your tastebuds at one of the brew pubs, ethnic eateries, coffee bars, outdoor bistros or riverfront patios. The Boise River Greenbelt stretches for 25 miles, passing through downtown Boise—offering the perfect venue for biking, in-line skating or a scenic walk.

From the outside, a home is the structure that shelters a family and welcomes friends. From the inside, the details of a custom home are a reflection of the family who lives there. Take a closer look inside and see how your dreams of owning a new home can become a reality with the help and craftsmanship of Shiloh Development.
Family owned and operated, Shiloh Development is a custom home-building company poised to help you. Carrying a mark of excellence through recognition as a Register Master Builder, owners Dan and Marlene Appel are committed to promoting and protecting the American dream of home ownership.
