Ash+River Townhomes, Boise, Idaho is a development offering 34 units of workforce/moderate-income housing near the city’s fast-growing downtown. The design pays homage to the adjacent historic Hayman House, the 60-year residence of Erma Hayman and now a cultural site honoring the history of Black residents in the neighborhood.

The City of Boise has seen significant growth over several years. Job creation has brought an influx of workers in search of reasonable accommodations for themselves and their families. A public/private partnership helped fund this multifamily workforce housing development near downtown Boise.

Located adjacent to a multi- use pathway and small public park, this LEED Gold certified community connects its residents to the Boise River, the Greenbelt, and Boise State University via pedestrian paths and quick access to downtown Boise, Idaho. These townhomes were thoughtfully designed and constructed to be sustainable, safe, and energy- efficient which translates to lower utility bills and healthier homes for residents.

The mix of uses includes townhomes, flats, retail, open space, and pedestrian oriented amenities. Most of the units have a dedicated garage and there is covered parking for the balance of the residents, which sports a green roof on top of the carports. A local Boise coffee vendor, Push & Pour, occupies the 500 square feet of retail space along the mixed- use Pioneer Pathway.
