Star, Idaho Homes for Sale
Small-town spirit and new neighborhoods between Eagle and Middleton.
Star has grown from a quiet farming town into one of the valley’s most popular places to buy, without losing its friendly, small-town feel. It sits along Highway 44 between Eagle and Middleton, with the Boise River along its southern edge and open country views in nearly every direction.
Buyers love Star for its newer homes, community parks and the sense that you’re a little bit away from it all, while still being a short drive to Eagle, Meridian and Boise.
Why people love Star
- Newer neighborhoods, many with community pools and pathways
- Small-town events and a close-knit community feel
- Boise River access along the south side of town
- Quick drive to Eagle, Meridian and Middleton via Highway 44 and Chinden
- A mix of subdivision homes and properties with acreage nearby
