The Numbered Streets Neighborhood Guide

The Numbered Streets is one of Idaho Falls' most established residential neighborhoods, running from 1st Street south to 17th Street between the Snake River Greenbelt and Holmes Avenue, where classic bungalows sit beneath a canopy of cottonwoods that define the neighborhood as much as any street sign. The front porches here are functional, not decorative, and the proximity to the Greenbelt means residents can walk or bike to downtown cafes without much convincing. Fall turns the neighborhood into something genuinely spectacular and genuinely messy, with leaf piles that pile up as fast as neighbors can rake them, and winters stack snow in the tight alleys that thread between homes. It is the kind of place where people know which houses go all-out for Halloween and where the cardigan-and-cruiser-bike crowd feels entirely at home.
