==Geography== [[File:Boise by Sentinel-2, 2021-08-29.jpg|left|thumb|Satellite photo of Boise and surrounding area in 2021, taken from Copernicus Sentinel-2]] [[File:Ann Morrison Park.jpg|thumb|left|Ann Morrison Park in spring]] Boise is in [[southwestern Idaho]], about {{convert|41|mi}} east of the Oregon border and {{convert|110|mi|km|0}} north of the [[Nevada]] border. The [[downtown]] area's [[elevation]] is {{convert|2704|ft}} [[Sea level#AMSL|above sea level]]. Most of the metropolitan area lies on a broad, flat plain, descending to the west. Mountains rise to the northeast, stretching from the far southeastern tip of the Boise city limits to nearby [[Eagle, Idaho|Eagle]]. These mountains are known to locals as the Boise foothills and are sometimes described as the [[foothills]] of the [[Rocky Mountains]]. About {{convert|34|mi}} southwest of Boise, and about {{convert|26|mi}} southwest of [[Nampa, Idaho|Nampa]], the [[Owyhee Mountains]] lie entirely in neighboring [[Owyhee County, Idaho|Owyhee County]].

The area is dominated by residential neighborhoods and businesses catering to the student population. The unique blue playing field at the 37,000-seat [[Albertsons Stadium]] on the BSU campus, home to the [[Boise State Broncos football]] team, is a major city landmark. The campus is also home to the [[Benjamin Victor (sculptor)|Benjamin Victor]] Gallery and Studio.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://professorofpractice.boisestate.edu/benjaminvictor/gallery/|title=Benjamin Victor Gallery and Studio at Boise State University|work=Benjamin Victor, Professor of the Practice|access-date=June 16, 2017|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181113171236/https://professorofpractice.boisestate.edu/benjaminvictor/gallery/|archive-date=November 13, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> Other cultural and sports centers in the area include the Velma V.

Many include acre-sized plots and the occasional farmhouse and pasture. In the 1980s, growth in the area was stunted to prevent [[urban sprawl]]. Since this has been lifted, there has been widespread growth of new homes and neighborhoods. The area lies near Interstate 84, and features, the [[Boise Airport]], theaters, shopping, golf and the Boise Bench area. ====Northwest Boise==== Northwest Boise lies against the Boise Foothills to the north, State Street to the south, the city of [[Eagle, Idaho|Eagle]] to the west, and downtown Boise to the east. It contains a mix of old and new neighborhoods, including Lakeharbor, which features the private Silver Lake, a reclaimed quarry. Northwest Boise has some pockets of older homes with a similar aesthetic to the North End. Downtown is minutes away, as is Veteran's Memorial Park<ref name="cityofboise1">{{cite web|url=http://parks.cityofboise.org/|title=Boise Parks & Recreation — City of Boise|publisher=Parks.cityofboise.org|date=November 21, 2012|access-date=November 28, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121122073552/http://parks.cityofboise.org/|archive-date=November 22, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> and easy access to the [[Boise Greenbelt]]. Across the river sits the Boise Bench and to the west are the bedroom communities of Eagle, [[Star, Idaho|Star]], and [[Middleton, Idaho|Middleton]]. ====Warm Springs and East End==== Warm Springs is centered on the tree-lined Warm Springs Avenue and contains some of Boise's largest and most expensive homes (many of which were erected by wealthy miners and businessmen around the turn of the 20th century; Victorian styles feature prominently). The area gets its name from the natural hot springs that flow from Boise's fault line and warm many of the area's homes. The Natotorium public swim center is here. ====Harris Ranch and Riverland East==== The far-east end of Warm Springs was once known as Barber Town, featuring a hotel with hot springs nestled into the foothills. It now has some new residential developments, with easy access to Highway 21, which leads to the south-central Idaho mountains, the Boise River, the Boise Foothills, Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. ====Southeast Boise==== [[File:LibraryExclamationPointAtBownCrossing.jpg|thumb|upright|The newest<ref name="Boise's Newest Library">{{cite web |url=http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/article150236297.html |title=10 fun facts about Boise's newest library opening Thursday |last=Webb |first=Anna |date=April 12, 2017 |website=The Idaho Statesman |access-date=January 17, 2018}}</ref> [[Boise Public Library]]<ref name="The Story behind Library!">{{cite web |url=http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/community/boise/article189932889.html |title=Man behind Boise library's exclamation point tells story; mayor eats crow |last=Moeller |first=Katy |date=December 15, 2017 |website=The Idaho Statesman |access-date=January 18, 2018}}</ref> branch at Bown Crossing]] Southeast Boise ranges from Boise State University to Micron Technology between Federal Way and the Boise River. Its oldest neighborhood, Original South Boise, was platted in 1890, and accordingly has variegated housing (assiduously maintained by [[zoning]]); it consists of 33 blocks bordered by W Beacon Street, S Boise Avenue, and S Broadway Avenue, and hence is a triangular neighborhood immediately adjoining BSU.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cityofboise.org/media/3620/original-south-boise-2003.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://www.cityofboise.org/media/3620/original-south-boise-2003.pdf |archive-date=October 9, 2022 |url-status=live |title=Original South Boise Neighborhood Plan |publisher=City of Boise |access-date=September 21, 2022}}</ref> The rest of Southeast Boise was developed over the decades, largely by a variety of [[suburbia|suburban]]-style homes. Columbia Village subdivision and the older Oregon Trail Heights were the first major planned communities in Southeast Boise with an elementary and middle school all within walking distance from all homes. The subdivision is at the intersections of Interstate 84, Idaho 21, and Federal Way (former U.S. Highway), which are all major arteries to get anywhere in Boise. The subdivision, a baseball complex, and swimming pools were developed around the Simplot Sports complex. The fields are built over an old landfill and dump, and the fields and gravel parking lot allow radon gases to escape through the ground. The most recent planned community is the {{convert|35|acre|ha|adj=on}} Bown Crossing, which has easy access to the [[Boise Greenbelt]].<ref name="Bown Crossing">{{cite web |url=https://pds.cityofboise.org/innovative-development/projects/bowncrossing/ |title=Bown Crossing |date=January 18, 2018 |publisher=City of Boise |access-date=January 19, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180119120814/https://pds.cityofboise.org/innovative-development/projects/bowncrossing/ |archive-date=January 19, 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref> On August 25, 2008, at about 7:00 pm, a fire started near Amity and Holcomb during a major windstorm.

Orchard Street is a major north–south thoroughfare in the neighborhood. The Bench is so named because of this sudden rise, giving the appearance of a step, or bench. The Bench (or Benches, there are three actual benches in the Boise Valley) was created as an ancient shoreline to the old river channel. The Bench is home to the [[Boise Union Pacific Depot]]. Like the North End, the Bench has older residential areas such as the Central Rim, Morris Hill, and Depot Bench neighborhoods. Due south of the Bench is the [[Boise Airport]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iflyboise.com/|title=Boise Airport|publisher=iFlyBoise|access-date=November 28, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121129120812/http://www.iflyboise.com/|archive-date=November 29, 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> ====West Boise==== West Boise is home to Boise Towne Square Mall, the largest in the state, as well as many restaurants, strip malls, and residential developments ranging from new subdivisions to apartment complexes. The Ada County jail and [[Hewlett-Packard]]'s printing division are also here. It is relatively the flattest section of Boise, with sweeping views of the Boise Front.
