Back to NW Boise Real Estate
A few miles beyond Hill Road and amongst the Boise foothills, an outpost between city and range exists. The community of Hidden Springs enjoys open space at the edge of Northwest Boise real estate. Homes for sale in Hidden Springs are seemingly far from the city of Boise, yet only a few minutes away.
Driving north on Seamans Gulch Road, surrounded by the gritty-brown hills pitching up and down, Hidden Springs appears on the right side of the road. A Hidden Springs fire station and Dry Creek Mercantile are the first buildings you pass by as you enter the large community, announcing that this is no ordinary subdivision.
Dry Creek Mercantile, also known as the “Merc”, is a general store where you can grab a cup of coffee in the morning, buy groceries, get a pizza for dinner, listen to live music or host a gathering at night. The Merc, fire station and small park at the entrance to Hidden Springs, along with the roaming Idaho real estate and many large lots available, evoke the nostalgic feelings and spirit of the American west.
Many are drawn to the homes for sale in Hidden Springs for the views of the Dry Creek Valley and Boise foothills. The scenery and wildlife is not far in the distance, and while seeing the outdoors is enough for some, others love to experience it. The homes for sale Hidden Springs are next to biking and hiking trails, and there’s also a community pool, tennis courts and small parks in the neighborhood. Shadow Valley Golf Course, one of the best public courses in the Treasure Valley, is also only a few minutes away on Highway 55.
Hidden Springs maintains and cares for more than 800 acres in northwest Boise, which includes a community farm, orchard, parks and trails. Despite the isolated location from Boise, the sense of community is strong & strengthened and connected through social events, a community farm, an elementary school, library and the Dry Creek Historical Society. Hidden Springs is part of the Boise School District, and is within the boundaries for Hillside Junior High and Boise High*.
Hidden Springs real estate development began in the late 1990’s and new homes are currently going up. The neighborhood in a general sense is unique, but many of these Boise homes for sale feature designs you won’t see anywhere else in the area with a variety of colors that use an artist’s entire palette. In an age where cookie-cutter subdivisions are common, Hidden Springs separates itself from the norm.
*Note: School boundaries are subject to change. Please consult the school district’s website for the latest information.
