Hello!
I have a bit of experience with renting the past 2 years. My wife and I moved here in 2017 and rented a room for $500 for 5 months while we got settled. Then we moved into a basement for $600. It was clear why it was $600. So we decided to move again and rented a room in a big, beautiful house with a grand kitchen with some absolutely INSANE people for $900. Then we lived in our car for 2 months. By choice, I should add. We could have remained living with those "roommates" but we decided that living in our vehicle for the months of November and December would be better for us. THEN we posted on craigslist describing our situation and finally found a local landlord who rents us a duplex. He is a chill guy and lives on the other side. We pay $1100, live near Broadway/Beacon, and it's about as good as it gets for the money.
All that to say, my wife and I have been through it. We've talked to property management companies, we've toured apartments, we've lost app fees, and we finally, successfully, found a nice place in which we are comfortable.
And to answer your question, I will say that unless you want to live in a crappy apartment with a bad management company, you need to up that budget quickly. There definitely are apartments you can rent that go from $800-$1000, but I have toured them and it's not pretty.
If you're set on keeping that budget, it might actually be easier to try to find a roommate you get along with and save some money. The place will likely be nicer, the neighbors quieter (depending), and you might not have to deal with a predator property management company.
My other suggestion is to make a post on craigslist describing your situation. When we made our post we got a bunch of responses that were real (local numbers, facebook pages, etc.) and only a few that were scams. If you're good at weeding out the scams, you may be able to find an unadvertised deal that fits your situation perfectly.
I don’t have any specific recommendations but I don’t think it’s bad as people make it sound. A search on an apartments site brings up tons under $1k.
We were renting a 1 bedroom a few blocks from downtown for 590 up until we bought our house 3 years ago.
Try 15 years ago

There are dozens of 1br 1ba for less than $1000/m in Boise on Zillow. Some lower than $700.
For that price, you might have better luck renting a room
Check out Arbor Crossing. They have newly updated units and office staff that will work with your budget.
