Idaho's State Capitol Building (pictured to the right) is a central feature of Boise's Downtown, North End, and East Foothills Neighborhoods. Within walking distance from Idaho's state Capitol building are Boise State University, many parks and Museums, Fort Street Market, St Luke's Medical Center, The Basque Block, a newly rejuvenated industrial area known as the Linen District, several parks connected via Geenbelt along the Boise River, The Grove Hotel and Convention Center, Rhodes Skateboard Park, and BODO shopping district in our historic 8^th Street Marketplace.

With so many great amenties, entertainment, and working opportunities in Downtown Boise, residential living opportunities have slowly been growing. Downtown Construction efforts from 2005 through 2007 have experienced a sustained boom with many new Commercial and Residential Condominium developments such as Royal Plaza, The Veltex, and The Jefferson, and the new Platinum LEEDS certified Banner Bank Building, as well as increased hotel space from the Grove Hotel's Convention facilities to The Modern, a boutique hotel in the newly rejuvenated Linen District.
