Central Bench, located between Downtown Boise and Boise Airport, is a residential and mixed-use Boise neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and canal-side greenbelts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Orchard Street and Franklin Road corridor, where taquerias, bakeries, and small markets line a steady stream of local errands. Bench Canal paths and pocket parks shape a walk-and-roll routine, while mature trees soften wide lots and low-slung homes. The Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial and Boise Art Museum sit nearby as cultural touchpoints. Hyde Park Fine Arts and The Flicks add an indie-screening thread to evenings. Commuter routes trace Franklin and Overland, linking shops, schools, and trailheads.
