Suburban-rural blend in growing Meridian area

Southwest Meridian is a part suburban, part rural community in the growing Boise metropolitan area. Homes sit on sprawling lots with tons of acreage, and private amenities like pools and clubhouses are contained within residential subdivisions. “There are a lot of options to customize a home in this area,” says Luke Evans, a real estate agent with Better Homes and Gardens 43 North who has sold several homes in the neighborhood. “Many developments are still being built, and you can also buy land to design your own home.” Bordering the neighborhood is Meridian Road, a popular shopping and dining area and a major traveling area that goes north and south through the city.

Contemporary ranches and modern farmhouses

Southwest Meridian has two distinctive personalities on either side of South Ten Mile Road. On the east side are established subdivisions with paved sidewalks and manicured landscaping. West of Ten Mile Road feels more rural, with open fields and homes sitting on multi-acre lots. Home construction in the area happened throughout the past five years. “Everything residential is relatively new, so the area is really gaining some popularity right now,” Evan says. Bear Creek and Fall Creek are popular subdivisions with new traditional homes and private amenities like a community pool. Prices here range from $460,000 to $800,000. In the western area of the neighborhood, larger Modern Farmhouse homes sit on acre-sized lots or greater. Prices range from $630,000 for a single-level home to $1.8 million for a luxurious five-bedroom homes. Modern and contemporary homes built in the 2020s are situated toward the southeast end of the neighborhood. Exteriors and floor plans here are relatively consistent having neutral colors and smaller front yards, but people can customize their homes with extra windows and doors. Prices range from $400,000 for a one-story home to $900,000 for 2,800-square-foot houses.
