Depot Bench is one of Boise’s oldest and most sought-after neighborhoods. Depot Bench is revered for its mature trees, access to plenty of green space, historic architecture, and central location. Named after a historic railroad depot, this scenic neighborhood rests on a natural step carved by the waters of the Boise River. This bench rises 60 feet above the city center, giving residents a beautiful view of Downtown Boise and the surrounding mountains. The neighborhood has several parks, like Morris Hill Dog Park, and it sits just south of Morrison Park, a large park along the Boise River that’s a popular spot for events like the annual Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic. Depot Bench has a commercial area along Vista Avenue that’s filled with local and chain restaurants and stores, but many residents take full advantage of living just two miles away from Downtown Boise. The neighborhood is also less than two miles from Boise State University. ExtraMile Arena, located on the Boise State University Campus, lies between the neighborhood and downtown, and offers a full event schedule, including concerts by many popular performers. This centrally located neighborhood is known for its wide range of architectural styles including Spanish, Colonial Revival, and Atomic Ranch, but there are apartments available for rent as well.
