A broad mix of housing, from subdivisions to estates

Much of Eagle's housing is in suburban neighborhoods on the city's south side. These often date to the early 21st century and include ranch-style and traditional homes on streets lined with sidewalks and leafy trees. The area's population has nearly tripled since the turn of the century, resulting in many new homes being built throughout the city. These include a mix of contemporary Craftsman houses in master-planned subdivisions and custom homes on multiple acres. The northern end is where you'll find some of the largest homes on lots that often come with outbuildings for horses or other activities. "It's on the mountainside of Idaho. It's not real close to the freeway, so you've got panoramic views all the way around of snowcapped mountains," says David Bailey, a Realtor at Bailey's Real Estate Group with Boise Premier Real Estate who has 15 years of experience. The city has a wide price range, with homes selling from the lower $400,000s to $4 million. The median sales price is around the mid-$700,000s, higher than in Boise and Meridian.

Rows of large one- and two-story homes with large lots fill the area.

Where residents eat, shop and gather in Eagle

The city has an eclectic restaurant scene that includes fine dining and casual hangouts. Most of the popular eateries are centered around State Street and state Highway 55, including Coa Del Mar. "It is something right out of Los Angeles," Bailey says. "It's the place to be seen on a Friday night." Perched on a small lake, this spot is known for its upscale seafood menu. Other restaurants around town serve cuisines ranging from Italian and Mediterranean to comfort foods like pizza and tacos. Small boutiques line State Street, and grocery stores in the area include Fred Meyer, WinCo Foods and Albertsons.

Outdoor fun at state parks, golf courses and city green spaces

Eagle's location in southwest Idaho offers plenty of opportunities to get outside. "You've got the Boise River, which kind of runs through Eagle, so you can kayak, canoe, drift the Boise River or fly fish the Boise River," Bailey says. "It's pretty much endless." Some other popular recreation sites include:

  • Eagle Island State Park, a 545-acre park known for fishing, swimming, hiking and disc golf
  • The Eagle Greenbelt, a network of hiking and biking trails that meander along the Boise River
  • The public BanBury Golf Course, Eagle Hills Golf Course or Shadow Valley Golf Course
  • Stephen C. Guerber Park, which has playgrounds, sports fields and a splash pad

Eagle Island State Park offers a wide range of activities, including swimming, fishing and hiking.

Commutes are simple, but routes can be congested

Major roads offer convenient drives for Eagle residents. Here are some common ways of commuting in the area:

  • An 11-mile drive on State Street to Downtown Boise
  • A 12-mile bike ride on the Boise River Greenbelt to downtown
  • An 8-mile drive south on Highway 55 to Meridian
While the drives are straightforward, traffic can get congested during rush hour, causing longer travel times.

What to expect from Eagle's weather

Eagle is noted for its nice weather, averaging 214 sunny days per year and just 10 inches of annual snowfall. "I'm up above 2,700 feet in the mountains, and I only shoveled snow twice this last winter. So, it's pretty mild," Bailey says. The average high in July is around 91 degrees Fahrenheit, while the average high in January reaches 37 degrees.
