Beautiful open spaces, new subdivisions, and equestrian properties dot the Star landscape. Located between Eagle and Middleton, Star delivers the perfect combination of nearby opulence with rural sensibility. Some have referred to Star as the next Eagle with plenty of undeveloped land, active agriculture, and rolling hills – it very much is reminiscent of Eagle just a few decades ago.
About 15 years ago, Star was pretty much isolated from the surrounding cities. If you lived in Star, you lived “out in the country”. Today, Star is much more centrally located. With several new subdivisions created since then, the county extended Hwy 16, connecting Star to Meridian. Now this beautiful country rural area is more accessible and centrally located.
Star is still small with just over 9,000 people. The Star Mercantile, which opened in 1919, is the closest store and offers everything from lumber to milk. There are a couple of restaurants and a few small businesses in town and a BiMart recently opened which was big news. Otherwise, it’s anywhere from a 15 to 40-minute drive to just about anywhere in the Valley. Downtown Boise is just over 30 minutes away, and it’s only 15 minutes to Costco in Nampa or 20 minutes to WinCo in Eagle.
Beautiful Open Space
If a quiet country setting is what you’re desiring with all the homegrown goodness of a smalltown, then Star is where you’ll want to plant your roots and call home.
Perfect Place to Plant Your Roots
Star’s friendly hometown atmosphere and country setting is the ideal place to live and raise a family. The strong community participation and events excites new residents to get involved. Star’s River Walk Park is a secret gem only the locals know about and is still quiet and pristine. Locally owned restaurants like Sully’s and Star Country Café make you feel welcomed and part of the family.
It’s fun to shop the quirky stores along State Street. You’ll find kids big and small at the local skate park. There are outdoor summer movies in the park. Because of Star’s size, crime is almost non-existent, and you feel safe our running or walking your dog. And there’s a good chance of running into the Mayor while pumping gas at the local gas station.
Yes, Star is everything you’d want in a country setting and more. Star delivers an authentic small-town life with friendly neighbors, traditional festivals, and the absolute best 4th of July fireworks show in the Valley!
Brightest Jewel in the Gem State
Real estate agents and locals alike are saying to keep an eye on Star. It’s a growing community with several great subdivisions being built. As these communities grow, more businesses will open, and schools will be added.
Housing prices are low compared to Boise, more in line with Meridian prices. Many homes offer stunning views of the surrounding mountain ranges. Squaw Butte is to the north, Boise Foothills to the east, and the Owyhee Mountain range to the south.
There is also the advantage of the Rural Development Loan in this area. Basically, this USDA Home Loan finances 100% of the purchase price with no down payment. That’s huge! Sure, there are a lot of steps to go through and not everyone qualifies, but the fact that it’s available is amazing.
