BOISE BENCH

About the Boise Bench

Downtown Boise, the Bench rises above the Boise River plain, creating the elevated "bench" formation that gives the area its name. The community generally encompasses much of the 83705 zip code and stretches from Downtown Boise south toward Interstate 84 and the Boise Airport.

The Boise Bench offers a wide variety of housing options, including mid-century ranch homes, historic properties, updated cottages, townhomes, new construction infill developments, and view properties overlooking Downtown Boise. While much of the area was developed between the 1950s and 1980s, home styles and values can vary significantly from one neighborhood to the next. Properties along the rim of the Bench often command premium prices due to their sweeping views of Downtown Boise, the Boise Front, and the surrounding parks.

One of the area's greatest advantages is its central location. Residents enjoy quick access to Downtown Boise, Boise State University, the Boise Airport, Interstate 84, shopping, dining, and many of the city's largest employers. Combined with mature landscaping, established neighborhoods, and relatively affordable price points compared to some nearby areas, the Boise Bench continues to attract a wide range of homebuyers.

Highlights of the Boise Bench

  • Central location with easy access to Downtown Boise, Boise State University, and Interstate 84.

  • Diverse housing options ranging from starter homes to luxury view properties.
  • Home to Hillcrest Country Club and Golf Course.

  • Numerous parks, including Borah Park, Cassia Park, Phillippi Park, Shoshone Park, and Morris Hill Park.
  • Home to the historic Boise Train Depot, one of the city's most iconic landmarks.
  • Mature trees, established neighborhoods, and larger lots than many newer communities.
  • Convenient access to shopping, dining, healthcare facilities, and entertainment venues.
  • Close proximity to Ann Morrison Park, Kathryn Albertson Park, and Julia Davis Park.
  • Strong mix of owner-occupied homes, investment properties, and redevelopment opportunities.
