What home styles and prices are available in Veterans Park

Tall pines fill the area, allowing the natural feeling of the parks to spill over onto the neighborhood streets. As for the homes, they're often on the smaller side, averaging about 1,400 square feet. Some of the styles you’ll see include:

  • Ranch-style homes offering single-story living
  • Craftsman houses with spacious front porches
  • Cottages that are often marketed towards first-time buyers.
  • Townhouses that offer a low-maintenance lifestyle
Prices are about in line with the Boise average, but they can vary depending on where you are in the neighborhood. “Location is vital because the Boise River runs through that part of town, so if you’re closer to the river, the price goes up,” says Danielle Gonzales, a Realtor with The HG Group at The Agency Boise, who has five years of experience. Single-family homes typically range from the lower $300,000s to the upper $700,000s. Townhouse prices fall between the mid-$300,000s and upper $500,000s.

How local commute through Boise from Veterans Park

State Street offers a 3-mile drive into downtown, which typically takes about 10 minutes, but during rush hour it can be longer. “State Street is a main thoroughfare for people commuting downtown. So it depends on working hours, like 7 to 9 is pretty busy,” Gonzalez says. “The nice thing is if you’re going downtown after work, you're against traffic.” If you want to avoid traffic altogether, you could bike along the Greenbelt to get downtown, about a 4-mile ride.

Jump on the Greenbelt and quickly get to downtown or other parts of the city.
