There is a lot of history to the town of Eagle dating back to the 1860’s. Several of the historic buildings you see in the downtown area are the originals from the early 1900’s giving Eagle its allure and old-town feel. What was once belittled as the swamp area in the 70’s is now home to some of the most expensive riverfront properties in Southwestern Idaho. Eagle has come a long way since then growing from a town of just 350 when it was incorporated in 1971 to almost 30,000 today. Smart city planning has allowed for Eagle to maintain its character while catering to the needs of the growing population. As Eagle continues to grow, more first-class dining establishments, housing developments, retail outlets, and healthcare facilities come giving residents even more reason to consider Eagle home.
In addition to all that’s been mentioned, quiet, cozy Eagle is just an eight-mile drive to the hustle and bustle of downtown Boise. This makes for a night out on the town or shopping in the “big city” fun and easy to do. The country setting, amazing people, great schools, safe family oriented neighborhoods, recreation, and many social events are some of the many reasons Eagle is one of the most desirable areas in the Boise area. And what truly sets it apart putting it in a class all its own.
