The “Mesa” is located just east of Boise, Idaho. It is so named because of its geological formation, an elevated area of land with a flat top and sides that are usually steep cliffs. It takes its name from its characteristic table-top shape and sits just below another mesa named Table Rock (pictured at left) just to the north along with the geothermal hot springs close by. With the Boise River flowing at the base of the Mesa, and an extensive trail system surrounding the Mesa and connecting to the river and the famous miles-long Greenbelt, the neighborhood is desirable in its close proximity to the growing State Capital City of Boise but has an atmosphere of a private residential area with spectacular extended views of the City and Boise airport below. It provides immediate access to businesses, the airport, and outdoor activities for the whole family.
