Over the past two decades Boise Idaho has risen in prominence as a destination location for affluent buyers looking for luxury living in an outdoor oriented / family friendly environment. And through it all, Eagle—a quaint bedroom community for Boise’s executives and entrepreneurs—has become the undisputed destination of choice for those looking for the best within the Treasure Valley.
Why? First and foremost is Eagle’s unique location within the valley. Located North and West of the bulk of the valley’s population centers, Eagle is the closest of all of Boise’s outlying communities to the vacation and outdoor recreation destinations to the North—The resort towns of McCall and Cascade, the world class skiing of Tamarack and Brundage, the endless Idaho wilderness area and three major river systems. This means a 30-to-40-minute head start when heading to the mountains for some downtime. In addition, Eagle commuters enjoy a twenty-minute commute to downtown Boise, the capital building, Boise State University, and most of Boise’s major employers.
The Boise River and its 27-mile greenbelt walking path cut through the heart of Eagle and provide safe, outdoor activities for Eagle’s active residents. It’s quaint downtown corridor still reflects its small-town origins where many of its original buildings still operate as going concerns. And surrounding this quintessential small-town Idaho downtown core, lie a variety of richly landscaped estate and acreage lots, accenting the Boise River and the greenery not seen in other Boise suburbs. (As a result, Eagle’s real estate appreciation leads the valley. Median prices are over double that of the metropolitan area at large.)
With a population of roughly 32,000 people, Eagle has long been recognized as one of the most sought after residential areas in the Treasure Valley because of its small town atmosphere combined with a unique blend of educational, business and recreational opportunities available for residents young and old. Eagle residents describe their hometown as a great place to live and invest in their futures.
