An artsy enclave in the shadow of the mountains.

Arts Outdoors Nature Suburb

Almost entirely encompassed by the city of Boise, virtually nowhere in Garden City is more than a few blocks away from a Boise park, restaurant, or shopping center. Garden City itself, while fairly small, is home to an energetic arts scene, with the Visual Arts Collective serving as the epicenter… a combination bar, gallery, and performance venue where there’s never a dull moment. It’s a great community for outdoorsy types, with Boise’s enormous public parks easily within reach and Idaho’s central mountains and National Forests just minutes away by car.
