Tough calls for Glenbrook Apartments tenants in Boise, who are being forced to vacate

Dhan Subedi flipped through sheets of apartment listings on Thursday, 15 days before the deadline for her four-person household to vacate Glenbrook Apartments . She’d circled and called the most affordable units in Boise. The earliest one would be available was Oct. 15, nearly a week after her deadline to leave a one-bedroom, $575-a-month apartment. Her 13-month-old son, Kaden, rolled around the floor at the feet of her mother, Mina Subedi. The families of both Dhan and her husband, Prem Subba, are Bhutanese, though Dhan was born during her family’s two-decade stay at a refugee camp in Nepal. Subba’s was one of thousands of Nepalese- speaking families evicted from the country. Located at the corner of South Curtis Road and Cassia Street, the family’s sparse Glenbrook unit is close to the Boise Airport, where Subba works, and State Street, where Subedi works at a market. It’s also close to the former Boise International Market , where the couple owned the Bhutanese and Nepali grocery...

The popularity of the Windridge Townhomes west of Highway 281 and north of Faidley Avenue has resulted in a new set of townhomes being constructed in the very same LaRue Subdivision. "We actually have a Windridge I and Windridge II, and there are 58 apartments for those two projects, and they are completely occupied with a waiting list," said co- owner Cathy Mesner of Central City. "That's why we decided to build another project over there." Windridge caters to the 55-and-older population earning 60 percent or less of median income. The next project, called Stonewood Townhomes, will be open to the same clientele. It will be on the opposite side of the LaRue Subdivision, located west of Highway 281 and south of 13th Street. "We hadn't planned to do it, but there is such a strong need in the community for rentals and particularly for affordable rentals ," Mesner said, noting that Windridge has never had even a full month's vacancy in any ...

(Photo: Chris Caldwell / The Spectrum & Daily News) Buy Photo Suspended high above St. George’s urban center,  hiding in plain sight atop a mesa, is some of highest-value real estate in one of the county’s fastest-growing cities. For the better part of seven years, it mostly lay empty. The “ Ridgetop Complex ,” as it has formally been known since 2011 when the city relocated its airport, stretches for more than a mile north-to-south, carrying 155 acres of developable flat land with unencumbered viewscapes along the land that once carried the runway. Once pegged for pricey cliffside homes , schools, shops and all the trappings of a premium mixed-use neighborhood, it has instead been limited in recent years to the occasional hobby race , concert or other event that requires a large open space . It’s sometimes used by law...
