GARDEN CITY

About Garden City

Although surrounded on all sides by the city of Boise, Garden City has retained its own separate municipal government.  It is a relatively small real estate area and is part of the 83714 zip code.  Several homes that are actually within Garden City limits are listed in the NW Boise or West Boise areas.  The city is bordered on the south by Chinden Blvd, to the North by the Boise River, to the West by the Western Idaho Fairgrounds and to the East by North Boise.  Garden City's name reflects its rich history. In the late 1800s, Chinese immigrants established extensive gardens along the fertile Boise River floodplain, supplying fresh produce throughout the region. The name "Chinden" (the main road through the area) is a combination of "China" and "garden," honoring that heritage.

For many years, Garden City was known primarily for industrial and commercial uses. Today, it has become one of the Treasure Valley's most dynamic areas for residential growth and redevelopment. Its proximity to Downtown Boise, direct access to the Boise River Greenbelt, and growing collection of restaurants, breweries, wineries, and artist studios have made it an increasingly popular place to live.  For more information on Garden City, please click HERE.
