Depot Bench Condos for Sale

Depot Bench in Boise, established in 1925 around the Boise Union-Pacific Depot, is a suburban neighborhood just south of Downtown Boise. Elevated 60 feet above the city center, it offers scenic views of the Boise River, Downtown Boise, and the Boise foothills. The neighborhood features a mix of historic homes from the 1940s and 1950s, including updated Craftsman styles, bungalows, and ramblers, as well as modern condos and townhomes. Single-family homes often have fenced-in backyards and detached garages, with newer constructions including additional floors. Depot Bench is primarily residential but experiences through-traffic to destinations like Boise Airport, Boise Zoo, and Boise State University. The Boise School District serves the area, with highly rated Monroe Elementary and Borah Senior High nearby. Ann Morrison Park, a 150-acre recreational area, acts as a buffer between Depot Bench and Downtown, offering sports fields, bocce courts, disc golf, and walking paths to the Boise River. For quieter outdoor activities, residents visit Morris Hill Dog Park and Terry Day Park. Local dining options include Quinn’s Restaurant and Lounge on South Vista Avenue and Primal Coffee. Grocery shopping is convenient at Albertson’s, with larger shopping centers like Boise Towne Square just 3 miles east. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, with side streets and cul-de-sacs providing safe play areas for children.
