Neighborhood Spotlight: Eagle, Idaho

Eagle is one of Idaho’s fastest-growing communities located just outside of Boise. It's desirable for being a quiet suburb with dozens of manicured neighborhoods dotted with beautiful new homes (and extravagant multi-acre estates!). A small yet very charming downtown core lends a bit of nostalgia and simplicity to this upscale area of the Treasure Valley. Read on to find out more about one of Idaho’s premier communities! History:  Idaho was booming in the 1800’s during the gold rush as many people moved out west in hopes to strike it rich. Dating all the way back to 1863, an Illinois native by the name of Truman C. Catlin had purchased 160 acres of land along the Boise River with plans of irrigation and farmland. Today, this land is known as Eagle Island, appropriately named for the abundance of bald eagles along the river . Catlin successfully irrigated 700 acres of land, digging ditches throughout most parts of the valley, which to this day, still exist. Another property owner in the area Thomas Hugh Aikens successfully lobbied to build a bridge connecting his properties on the north side and south sides of the Boise River by offering luxury carriage rides and a free picnic to voters. He then deeded 15-acres to the township which then was officially named “Eagle.” A once slow-moving town of just a few hundred people experienced over 200% growth between 1990 and 2000. Why?  The prospect of a better quality of life. In the 1970’s, Eagle became incorporated into Ada County. Since then, planned developments (popular ones including Two Rivers, Island Woods, and Lexington Hills) drew in thousands of new homeowners touting affordability, new construction, and ease of living. More info: https://www.eaglemagazine.com/history/15-historical-facts-about-eagle/ Demographics: With the most recent data released for Eagle’s population, there are estimated to be 33,478 people in the city with an average growth rate of 3.22% each year.

And since 2020, Eagle has seen a huge growth of 10.32%, making it the 12th largest city in the whole State of Idaho. Another statistic, Eagle is highly dominated in homeowners than it is in renters, with 85.5% of the population being homeowners and only 14.5% being renters. When it comes to the average education of homeowners within Eagle city limits, 30.12% have a Bachelor’s degree and 24.68% have at least some sort of college experience. Another most recent study showcased that the average household income for the city of Eagle in 2023 is $131,440.
