The Boise Bench

Homes with Views of the Boise Foothills!
With Bench area street names like Mountain View Drive and Vista, Boise's northmost Bench area homes provide amazing views of the Boise Foothills. The Boise Bench is a raised rim to the south of the Boise River valley.

Traditional Neighborhoods, Historic Homes
Some well established neighborhood associations exist along the Bench. Phillippi and Owyhee streets are named for some of Boise's older homesteads, and large historic homes with tree lined streets rival the beauty of Boise's North End. Irrigation rights are still excercised on some properties.
