Depot Bench Homes for Rent

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 skyline, the Boise River and the Boise foothills. The neighborhood features a mix of historic homes from the 1940s and 1950s, including updated Craftsmans, bungalows and ramblers, as well as modern condos and townhomes. Most homes often have fenced-in backyards and detached garages, and newer builds are typically multi-story. 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 above-average Monroe Elementary and Borah Senior High nearby. Ann Morrison Park, a 150-acre recreational area, has 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 & Lounge and Primal Coffee. Albertson’s is a convenient grocery option. Larger shopping centers, like Boise Towne Square, are just 3 miles east. The neighborhood is safer than the national average.
