Rapidly growing community west of Boise
Northwest Meridian is a primarily residential neighborhood with master-planned subdivisions trying to accommodate an influx of people. “Meridian is growing astronomically,” Nicolette Kimmel, a broker with Windermere Boise Valley and Idaho native, says. “It’s where you can build, and land is available.” Even with the significant growth, Northwest Meridian remains a community where kids can walk to school or play outside while neighbors know each other well. Unlike other parts of Idaho, the Treasure Valley weather is mostly temperate throughout the year. “In the 17 years I’ve lived in this valley, we’ve only had two years where we had a month of snow at one time,” Kimmel says. “What we describe as winter is not what others consider winter.”

Modern homes in Meridian
Homes in Northwest Meridian range from around $390,000 for new construction, modern homes with a few bedrooms and bathrooms to more than a million for large craftsman and foursquare-style homes with a yard and attached garage. “It tends to be less expensive near Interstate 84, and the closer you get to Star and Eagle, it usually gets pricier,” Kimmel says. “There is only so much land that can be built on, so now they are pushing west.” Houses in the area sell, on average, after 55 days on the market, compared to the national average of 42. Most of the housing in the area was made in the 2000s and up.

Float down the Boise River
Meridian is known for its access to nature and abundance of nearby parks. “The Boise and Meridian Park infrastructure is phenomenal; there isn’t a square mile that doesn’t have a park or two,” Kimmel says. Northwest Meridian residents are right by the Boise River, where people can grab an inner tube and float downstream on a hot summer day. Locals who like to stay on land have several miles of trails along the River Walk for an afternoon stroll with scenic views. Eagle Island State Park is a community favorite that includes horse trails, paddleboarding and plenty of hiking trails. Settlers Park attracts sports enthusiasts with access to several baseball and sports fields.

Grab lunch at Tin Roof Tacos
Northwest Meridian is a primarily residential neighborhood; however, locals still have an array of local shops and restaurants nearby. “Tons of local favorites that are truly, uniquely Boise and to the Valley have put little branches and satellite restaurants in the area,” Kimmel says. Local favorites include Stella’s Ice Cream and Reed’s Dairy, where people grab their favorite ice cream flavors. Along North Lindor Road, locals will find a handful of local eateries, including Capri/Delsa’s, a breakfast diner and Tin Roof Tacos. “Tin Roof Tacos is amazing; the Artesian Tacos are my go-to,” Kimmel says. Residents can pick up groceries in the northwest area of the neighborhood, where they will find a Costco, WinCo Foods, Fred Meyer and Walmart supercenter for all their grocery needs. They will go to the east side of North Eagle Road to find big-name retailers like Target, Albertson’s and Lowe’s.

Transportation
Residents in Northwest Meridian are primarily car-dependent since there aren’t many public transportation options. “The subdivisions are very walkable with great sidewalks,” Kimmel says. While the subdivisions are walkable, most locals can’t walk to the grocery store or for other errands. Meridian has roads painted for bike lanes, so several bicyclists may be on the roads anytime. Downtown Boise is about 11 miles east, while the Boise Airport is about 10 miles away.
