Bordered by four regional parks with the Boise Mountains to the northeast, the small town of Meridian is less than a 15-minute drive from Boise via I-84. Aside from providing renters with an easy commute of less than 10 miles to Boise, the Meridian I-84 Northwest is also a major line of commercial transportation: It connects the trade routes of Boise, Portland, and Salt Lake City, thereby keeping the Boise metropolitan area alive and thriving. What’s more, this active roadway has created a major economic boom in the small town’s manufacturing industry. To that end, the small town of Meridian describes itself to renters as “Built for Business and Designed for Living.” Additionally, Blue Cross of Idaho is in Meridian, and the town has also attracted the attention of major investors in health sciences. Idaho State University also has a state-of-the-art science health center to develop new devices and other medical technologies, as well as pique the interest of more manufacturing companies.

Or, Bus Route 42 takes renters past local points of interest, such as Meridian City Hall; Meridian Community Center; Blue Cross of Idaho; various residential communities with apartments and houses for rent; and Kleiner Park. There’s also the Harvest Transit that takes seniors into the downtown area, as well as the Meridian Veterans Shuttle. Finally, the nearest airport is Boise Air Terminal, which is located 15 minutes east of Meridian.
