Home sizes impact prices in this growing community
Barber Valley is one of the newest neighborhoods in Boise, with a median build year of 2015. “The growth out there is crazy. We used to ride our bikes and bring our kids out there, and there was nothing. Now there’s so much development,” says Jen Clements, an associate broker at Homes of Idaho, with eight years of experience. Homes are packed tightly onto suburban lots. It’s a walkable community with sidewalks on most streets, and leafy trees add a natural feel to the area. Many homes have stone elements on the exteriors, and attached garages are common. Single-family houses typically cost between the lower $600,000s and the mid-$1,300,000s. Homes over 3,000 square feet fall between the upper $800,000s and the mid-$2,200,000s. Townhouses are also common, costing between the upper $500,000s and mid-$700,000s.
New townhomes in Barber Valley typically run between the upper $500,000s and mid-$700,000s.
