Characteristics
Transportation
The Bench will appeal to people who value residing in a compact community because it is rather pedestrian-friendly; running common errands is easy without a car, and there are also a good number of businesses in proximity. This community is also a fairly convenient part of Boise City for cyclists. In particular, bike riders do not face serious slopes. The public transit access in this part of the city is not very convenient. Nonetheless, there are around 10 bus lines crossing the community, and bus stops are usually very close by. On the other hand, The Bench is very car friendly. It is very easy to come across a parking spot, and it is a rather short drive to the closest highway, such as I-184, from any location in The Bench.
Services
The closest supermarket in this part of Boise City is typically only a reasonably short trip away. Fairview Avenue is among the best streets for food stores. In addition, there is usually a restaurant or cafe in close proximity, for instance on Vista Avenue. Regarding education, home owners will find that no matter where their property is situated in The Bench, primary schools are nearby. However, residents may consider it challenging to get to high schools as pedestrians. In addition to public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools.
Character
The Bench is a "jack-of-all-trades" when it comes to the feel of this area. Even though the ambience is not the liveliest in this part of the city finding one of the about 30 bars is easy as they are generally located a short distance away. The Bench is quiet, as there are generally low levels of noise from traffic, although there are still several noisier areas, especially near the railway line, the airport (Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Fld), I-184 or US Hwy 30. There are around 40 parks close by for residents to check out, including Ivywild Park and Cassia Park, which makes them easy to access from numerous locations in the community.
