Garden City is a riverfront community with easy access to Boise
Surrounded by the neighboring cities of Boise and Eagle, Garden City has carved out its own identity with its recent growth. The Boise River runs through the center of town, transforming this southwest Idaho community into an urban oasis. It’s the kind of place where you can go fishing or kayaking just steps from home before relaxing at your favorite craft brewery or winery. A wide range of home styles is available for nearly any budget, and the major employment centers of Boise are a quick drive or bike ride away.

A mix of home styles with prices that vary across town
You can find a broad mix of housing styles in Garden City. “The river runs through Garden City, so there are some golf course neighborhoods. There are some neighborhoods with ponds and gated neighborhoods. There are some manufactured homes,” says Elizabeth Hume, an associate broker at Group One Sotheby’s International Realty with over 20 years of experience. Single-family homes are often New Traditional builds with prominent attached garages. Modern townhouses also make up much of the city. The neighborhoods include urban industrial areas and suburban communities with leafy trees and grassy lawns. Prices can vary widely.
Single-family homes range from the lower $300,000s to the upper $1.3 millions, with a median around the mid-$600,000s.
Townhouses cost between the upper $300,000s and upper $1.2 millions, with a median around the lower 500,000s
Manufactured homes typically cost between the mid-$20,000s and mid-$300,000s.

Trendy breweries and wineries throughout the city
Garden City’s dining scene includes trendy breweries and wineries mixed with longtime local favorites. “Telaya is probably one that everybody goes to, because it’s right there on the Greenbelt,” Hume says. “The Stagecoach is a classic, iconic Garden City restaurant, and so is the Ranch Club.” Telaya Wine Co. is popular for its charcuterie and award-winning wines. Head to The Stagecoach Inn for an old-school steakhouse, or grab your cowboy boots and visit the Ranch Club for a country dance hall experience. Other popular spots around town include Barbarian Brewing, Bardenay Distilling Co. and Western Collective.

Which districts serve local students
Garden City is served by the Boise and West Ada school districts, which are the two top-rated districts in the Boise area. West Ada students can study in the advanced International Baccalaureate program, while Boise schools have produced more National Merit semi-finalists than any district in the state. Each school system also offers magnet programs, and Idaho allows open enrollment outside of your designated district. Students can also attend two public charter schools in Garden City.

Easy trips to downtown by driving, biking or transit
Commuting throughout the metro area is a breeze. Depending on where you live in Garden City, your commute to Downtown Boise will be between 2 and 8 miles and typically take less than 20 minutes. Most people will take U.S. Route 26 to the Boise Connector, which leads right into downtown. Biking on the Greenbelt is another common way of getting around, with the path offering a 15-minute ride to downtown. Bus stops serve the major roads in the city, connecting to downtown, the Boise Towne Square mall and Boise Airport.
Some homes need flood insurance based on local risk
While much of the city has a low risk of flooding, some areas are in flood zones and require insurance. Some of these flood zones include homes near The River Club and neighborhoods off of Ulmer Lane and Atwater Drive. Check with your real estate agent or FEMA flood maps for the most up-to-date information.
How nightlife and industry affect noise in the city
Some parts of Garden City can be noisy, especially in the south end along Chinden Boulevard and Curtis Road. Lots of bars and restaurants are concentrated here, as well as industrial properties and warehouses. If you’re looking for a quieter setting, the northern part of the city is more residential. But if you buy a home here, you should know you’ll have to deal with added traffic and noise during the Western Idaho Fair, which takes place along Glenwood Street each August.
