What is within walking distance of Old Towne Lodge
Old Towne Lodge is at 248 2nd Ave W in Twin Falls, in the downtown Main Avenue corridor. The published distance from the door to downtown Main Avenue is 0.1 miles.
If you are staying a week or longer, the question is not what the view looks like. It is whether you can eat, fill a prescription, cash a check, wash clothes and get to a shift without a car.
Here is the answer, measured on the real sidewalk network on September 1, 2026. Most of it is a short walk. Laundry is not.
The address, and the street it sits on
Old Towne Lodge is at 248 2nd Ave W, Twin Falls, Idaho 83301. A post office sits on the same street, one minute and 0.04 miles from the building. That is the shortest walk to anything in this article, and on a long stay it matters more than it sounds.
Every walking number below was routed on the real pedestrian network, the actual sidewalks and crossings, not a straight line drawn across a map. A straight line would flatter this address. The routed numbers do not need the help.
Food is the shortest walk on this list
All ten of the closest places to eat are a five minute walk or less. Twelve were counted around the address in total. The nearest of them is a Mexican restaurant three minutes out at 0.14 miles.
Three of those ten are documented well enough to name. Yellow Brick Cafe at 136 Main Ave N is three minutes and 0.15 miles. The Twin Falls Sandwich Company at 125 Main Ave W is three minutes and 0.16 miles. Slice at 132 Main Ave N is the same three minutes and 0.16 miles. Two more sit four minutes out at 0.18 miles, one an American restaurant and one a diner.
Groceries mean a corner store, or a fifteen minute walk
Twelve grocery and corner stores were counted near the address. Not one of the ten closest is a supermarket. Eight of those ten are convenience stores and two are grocery stores.
The closest corner store is five minutes away at 0.24 miles. Maverik at 120 6th Ave W is eight minutes and 0.38 miles. The nearest grocery store is also eight minutes out, at 0.39 miles, but it was too thinly documented to name in print. The nearest grocery store worth naming is Swensen's Magic Market at 115 Addison Ave, fifteen minutes and 0.71 miles on foot.
So a carton of milk is a five minute problem. A full week of shopping is fifteen minutes each way with bags, or a ride.
Laundry is the weak number here
Four laundry businesses of any kind sit within walking distance of this address, and only one of them is a laundromat. Magic Suds Addison at 1539 Addison Ave E is 26 minutes on foot, 1.22 miles.
There is a dry cleaner seven minutes from the door at 0.31 miles, but dry cleaning is not a week of work clothes. Walking a full bag out and back is close to an hour on the sidewalk before the machines have even run. In a car it is a short errand. If you are here for weeks without a vehicle, this is the errand worth lining up a ride for first, and it is the honest weak spot of the address.
Pharmacies, clinics and the hospital
Two pharmacies are inside a four minute walk. The closest is two minutes and 0.11 miles. The second is three minutes and 0.14 miles. Neither was documented well enough to name here. Six pharmacies were counted in all, and the nearest one worth naming is Walgreens at 306 Blue Lakes Blvd N, 27 minutes and 1.25 miles on foot.
Twelve clinics and hospitals were counted. A medical center is seven minutes out at 0.32 miles. A hospital sits eight minutes away at 0.35 miles, and two clinics are eight and nine minutes out, 0.38 and 0.43 miles. Only one of the ten closest is documented well enough to name, Gameday Men's Health at 421 Washington St N, 23 minutes and 1.09 miles.
By road, St Luke's Magic Valley Medical Center at 801 Pole Line Rd W is 3.4 miles from this door, about eight minutes in a car.
Banks, public services, the library and the school
Twelve banks, cash machines and money transfer points were counted, and four of them are inside a six minute walk. Columbia Bank at 113 Main Ave W is the closest, four minutes and 0.17 miles. First Federal keeps offices at 303 Shoshone St N, seven minutes and 0.33 miles.
Twelve civic and social services were counted as well. Culture For Change Foundation at 510 2nd Ave S is six minutes and 0.29 miles. The American Red Cross at 253 4th Ave N is eight minutes and 0.38 miles. Twin Falls Public Library at 201 4th Ave E is half a mile by road, about a minute by car.
If someone in the room is school age, Lincoln Elementary School at 238 Buhl St N is twelve minutes and 0.57 miles on foot. It is the closest school documented well enough to name, and one of twelve schools counted near the address. There is a nearer elementary school, three minutes out at 0.13 miles, that was not solid enough to put a name on.
Getting to work
Seven staffing and job services were counted. The closest of the seven is a vocational and technical school, five minutes out at 0.23 miles. The nearest two staffing agencies are both a six minute walk at 0.26 miles, one an employment agency and one a temp agency. A third staffing agency is nine minutes out at 0.41 miles. None of the seven was documented well enough to name, so phone first rather than walking over on the strength of a map.
The bigger destinations around Twin Falls are a drive rather than a walk. Amalgamated Sugar Co is 3.2 miles and six minutes. Chobani on Kimberly Rd is 3.6 miles and seven minutes. Magic Valley Mall is 3.3 miles and eight minutes. College of Southern Idaho is 2.2 miles and five minutes.
What you cannot do on foot
Only three places near this address have anything to do with getting around without a car, and not one of them is a bus stop or a bus route. What is there is a car rental agency seven minutes away at 0.32 miles, a second car rental agency 32 minutes out at 1.49 miles, and one more filed under transport, 33 minutes out at 1.52 miles.
A places database is not a bus timetable. Nothing near this door is recorded as a bus stop, and that is not the same as proof that Twin Falls runs no bus. Plan on your own feet, a bicycle, a ride, or your own vehicle, and check with the city if a bus would change your answer.
Fuel is close if you have something to put it in. The nearest gas station is nine minutes on foot at 0.40 miles, one of twelve counted around the address.

The published figure for St Luke's is 1.9 miles against 3.4 by road, and for College of Southern Idaho 1.6 against 2.2. If you are driving, use the table.

Other New Leaf addresses within walking distance
New Leaf Properties runs twelve addresses in Twin Falls out of one office at 296 Addison Ave W, and nine of the others are 24 minutes or less on foot from this door. That matters for one practical reason. If the room type you need is a studio and this address is not the right fit, three of the nearest sister properties take studios only, and all three are under twenty minutes on foot.

How these numbers were measured
- Places
- Overture Maps places, release 2026-08-19.0, downloaded September 1, 2026 for a bounding box running from 42.35 to 42.80 north and 114.15 to 114.95 west.
- Walking times
- OSRM routed-foot at routing.openstreetmap.de, measured September 1, 2026 on the real pedestrian network. Across the New Leaf portfolio the implied pace works out to a median of 1.25 meters per second, about 2.8 miles per hour.
- Drive times
- OSRM car routing from the same service on the same day. One widely used public OSRM endpoint hands back the car route no matter which profile you ask it for, so it was not used for the walking figures.
- Published figures
- A few distances on this page are the property's own published ones rather than routed ones, and they are flagged where they appear: downtown Main Avenue at 0.1 miles and the Perrine Bridge at 2.9 miles.
- Naming
- A business is named only where its record was strong enough to stand behind. Everything else is counted and left unnamed.
The reason for that last rule is simple. Map records go stale, and a place that closed last spring should not have its name on a page that sends someone walking 26 minutes. Businesses open, close and change their hours. Call ahead before you make the trip.
Questions people ask
For most of a week, yes. Food, a pharmacy, a bank and a post office are all inside a five minute walk, and the post office is one minute away at 0.04 miles. The two errands that are hard on foot are laundry, at 26 minutes each way, and a full grocery shop, at 15 minutes each way. Those are the two worth arranging a ride for.
Magic Suds Addison at 1539 Addison Ave E, 26 minutes on foot and 1.22 miles. It is the only laundromat within walking distance of this address. The other three laundry businesses nearby are two dry cleaners and a laundry service, and the closest of those is a dry cleaner seven minutes away at 0.31 miles.
The closest corner store is five minutes away at 0.24 miles, and Maverik at 120 6th Ave W is eight minutes at 0.38 miles. For an actual grocery store, Swensen's Magic Market at 115 Addison Ave is 15 minutes and 0.71 miles on foot. None of the ten closest grocery and corner stores is a supermarket, so a big shop means a ride.

It depends on the room, so ask when you call. There is no single deposit figure that applies to every room at this address. Call the office at (208) 733-2010 and ask about the specific room you are being quoted.
