Southeast Boise spans from Boise State University to Micron Technology – all areas between Federal Way and the Boise River.
The older area just south of the university can be described as a cross between the North End and the Boise bench.
The rest of Southeast Boise was developed in the last thirty years with suburban-style homes.

Columbia Village subdivision and the older Oregon Trail Heights were the first major planned communities in Southeast Boise with an elementary and middle school all within walking distance from all homes.
The subdivision is at the intersections of Interstate 84, Idaho 21, and Federal Way (former U.S. Highway), which are all major arteries to get anywhere in Boise.
The subdivision, a baseball complex, and swimming pools were developed around the Simplot Sports complex.
The fields are built over an old landfill and dump, and the fields and gravel parking lot allow radon gases to escape through the ground.
The most recent planned community is the 35 acre Bown Crossing which has easy access to the Boise Greenbelt.

On August 25, 2008 at about 7:00 pm, a fire started near Amity and Holcomb during a major windstorm.
It destroyed ten houses and damaged nine.
One person died in the fire.
