Garden City is a diamond in the rough. Minutes from downtown Boise and the freeway, situated along the Boise Greenbelt, and right in the heart of the action; Garden City has been known for industry and low income housing. Over the last five years there has been an intentional re-development of the area with a focus on what residents call the Live-Work-Create District.

Wineries, cideries, and breweries are increasingly choosing Garden City as the home for their production houses and tasting rooms. New and exciting restaurants and bars pop up at a surprising rate in this area. Art galleries are scattered around every corner, and with the Visual Arts Collective nearby, there’s always a play or performance to catch. The Live-Work-Create District is all about craftsmanship, artistry, and building a strong community with a shared vision in mind.

Its central location attracts residents who work near downtown as well as those who want greenbelt access right in their backyard without the Boise price tag.
