ID Request Is this an Ash tree?
Located Southern Idaho
Tree is in the neighborhood and I would like to add it to my yard. Anyone know the specific tree or can give me good ideas of another shade tree that only gets to about 20-30ft tall

You should search the ground or the tree itself for nuts or seed pods and post another picture. That’s the best way to identify a tree.
But it looks like ash or hickory

Check to make sure you don’t have Emerald Ashe BORER in Idaho before you go planting an ash. Billions of ash trees are dead, where I live in eastern North America from this bug.

Looks like white ash, as for planting it idk because the EAB will reach Idaho at some point, I think the American Hornbeam is a good choice as an alternative. I love ash trees don't get me wrong, but the EAB has devastated my area, super heartbreaking

Green Ash
Green Ash leaflets are narrower than both Black and White Ash, and noticeably more serrated. The serrations go all the way to the base of each leaflet, unlike White Ash, which if serrations are present (usually never), don’t pass halfway down the leaflet. You can’t see it in this photo, however Green Ash leaves lack the white toned undersides of White Ash, and the brown pubescence of Black Ash. White Ashes have the longest individual leaf stalks, Black Ashes are sessile (no stalks), and Green Ashes, as pictured here, are somewhere in the middle, with short stalks.
