The surroundings of the station are primarily residential, with the exceptions of an open field across Rhawn Avenue, and a former one-story industrial building at the end of the road, that is fenced off. A Boise Cascade warehouse can be found across from the east end of Rhawn Avenue on Coopertown Road. [4]
