The Hillcrest Neighborhood Association was founded in 1995.  If you live (own or rent)  or own a business or property within our boundaries, you are automatically a member. Our neighborhood association is volunteer run with a board and relies on grants or donations for funding of events and neighborhood improvements. We are not a homeowners association and have no enforcement powers. To learn about the difference between an HOA and neighborhood association, visit the City of Boise's website.
