Is a 1-bedroom or studio apartment a better value in Boise?

In Boise, 1-bedrooms average $1,338/mo versus $1,008/mo for a studio. For solo renters on a tight budget, compare both filters on Rentler before applying. If you work from home or spend significant time in your apartment, the extra separation of a larger unit may be worth the difference.

Are 1-bedroom apartments in Boise pet-friendly?

Pet policies on 1-bedroom apartments vary by landlord and building — there's no blanket rule. Use Rentler's pet-friendly filter to narrow your search, then confirm breed, weight, and deposit requirements directly with the landlord before applying.

Can I find furnished 1-bedrooms in Boise, ID?

Furnished 1-bedrooms are available in Boise but represent a smaller share of total inventory compared to unfurnished units. Use Rentler's furnished filter to surface move-in-ready options. Furnished units are most common in newer construction buildings and in complexes that cater to corporate or short-term renters.

How much should I earn to rent a 1-bedroom in Boise?

Most landlords in Boise require gross monthly income of 2.5–3x the monthly rent. For a 1-bedroom at Boise's current average of $1,338/mo, that means demonstrating roughly 2.5–3x that amount in gross income. If you're below that threshold, a co-signer, larger security deposit, or prepaid rent may be accepted by some landlords — always worth asking.

The capital city of Idaho, Boise is a thriving urban city that gives residents a wonderfully balanced style of living. Walk the streets and take advantage of excellent public transport to journey around the city and take in all the shops, eateries, cafes, and bars. Or, take a short drive to the outskirts and marvel at the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Nicknamed the “City of Trees”, Boise isn’t short of luscious outdoor spaces that make it a great place for children to grow up. Not only that, but the city is home to a lot of major employers, particularly in the technology sector, giving it a highly competitive job market.

What to Know Before Renting a 1-Bedroom Apartment in Boise, ID

A 1-bedroom apartment in Boise hits the sweet spot for most solo renters and couples — enough space to have a real living room and a separated sleep area, without the cost of a 2-bedroom you don't fully use. For remote workers, a 1-bedroom is often the minimum viable setup: you can close a door between your workspace and your living space, which matters more than most people expect before they try working from a studio. When evaluating 1-bedrooms in Boise, pay attention to bedroom size (some 1-bedrooms are technically 1-bedrooms with a bedroom that fits a queen bed and nothing else), closet space, and whether the kitchen opens to the living room or is walled off. In-unit laundry, a parking spot, and a dedicated storage unit are the three amenities most renters wish they'd prioritized when they didn't have them. 1-bedrooms in Boise also tend to have the most competitive rental market of any unit type — more supply than studios, but more demand than 2-bedrooms, which means good 1-bedrooms in desirable Boise neighborhoods at fair prices move quickly.
