Garden City riverfront
The Greenbelt is
the back fence.
Twenty-five miles of paved path, a whitewater park, and dinner a minute's walk away.
Two City Names. One Boise Experience.
Garden City has its own city limits, but here, Boise is just across the river. The Greenbelt runs beside the property, and downtown is close by. It’s a riverside neighborhood that’s very much part of everyday Boise life.
Your address says Garden City. Your stay is Boise.
Garden City's riverfront district blends small-town charm and access to nature with big-city energy. Cast a line for fishing, catch a wave at the river surf park, bike the Greenbelt, and explore nature trails at Esther Simplot Park. Just steps away, The Boardwalk serves up dinner and wine, with boutique shops and downtown Boise minutes beyond.
The Boardwalk is the short walk that makes the biggest difference day to day. Ground Rules, Spitfire Tacos, Chicken in a Barrel BBQ, Negranti Creamery for ice cream and coffee, and Laissez Faire Wine Co. — which runs Idaho's first wine window. Step next door to The Boardwalk for a drink or a bite, then stroll home. For a longer outing, pick up a Lime e-bike at the plaza and explore the Boise River Greenbelt.
The Greenbelt matters more than people expect once they're living here. It runs the whole length of Garden City and gets you into downtown Boise by bike without a road crossing — which counts for a lot when you're working nights and don't want to drive on your days off. Side trails drop down to gravel bars on the river where, most mornings, you'll have the water to yourself.
