What makes Star different.
Star is the Treasure Valley's river small town in the middle of a growth spurt: new homes going up fast, farmland still in view, and the Boise River running through it. Early buyers tend to be rewarded here, and the amenity picture is building fast.
Homes change hands at different speeds depending on price, condition, and location within the city. The snapshot on this page is based on recent published market data, and Paul is happy to pull the current numbers for the specific street you are watching.
Typical commute: About 25 to 30 minutes to downtown Boise, with Eagle and Meridian closer on the south side.
