There are a few
somewhat gritty neighborhoods in Boise but as Groninger stated they are nothing like other cities. Grit in Boise is more like someone not taking care of their yard or (forgive me if I offend anyone) some run down trailer parks.
The city as a whole is pretty tidy and well manicured with little pockets here and there of grit.

I live in the Northend and enjoy the easy access to downtown, the foothills, and the greenbelt. There are some nice historic neighborhoods South of Boise Avenue and up on the Bench behind the train depot towards Kootenai Street but they are a little further from downtown.
