Living in Boise East End

Boise East End is one of the most historic areas in Boise and known to be the first district to have a geothermal supply of heat to its homes coming from the Table Rock. Prominent water line owners built their beautiful homes on the streets, pumping in the natural hot water coming from Table Rock to construct them. This is where the Warm Springs Avenue received its name, and these are the first homes ever in the US to utilize heat from geothermal supplies. As of today, homes in Warm Springs Ave still enjoy this feature.
