Subdivisions feature varied homes and wide price ranges

Ranch-style houses and New Traditional builds are some of the most common options you’ll find in Southeast Boise.

Easy commutes to downtown and nearby employers

The location is one of the biggest draws to Southeast Boise. “Southeast is really desirable for people that want to be close to downtown for their jobs, but don’t want to be right in downtown,” says Jessica Durham, broker and owner of Grove Realty, with 20 years of experience. “It’s where a lot of doctors live, because it’s close to both hospital systems.” You can reach Downtown Boise by driving 3 miles along Parkcenter Boulevard or Broadway Avenue, which typically takes about 10 minutes. Southeast Boise also puts you closer to Micron Technology, another major employer. Micron is about 7 miles away, a drive that takes around 15 minutes. Traffic is typically not an issue in the neighborhood. “It’s not really bad. They did a good job on those roads, so you don’t get bottlenecked,” Durham says. Other ways to get around include riding Valley Regional Transit buses or biking on the Greenbelt.
