Hidden Springs, Idaho. Is it all in a Bubble?

Saturday I went out to Hidden Springs to do a report on this house located there for a bank's short sale consideration. Hidden Springs is one of the more unique communities in the Treasure Valley.  It is surrounded by rolling hills and by the looks of the landscape, you would think you are in the middle of nowhere. It feels quite isolated yet it is just 2 miles to the south you can access many shops & restaurants along State Street.   It is a lovely community and  Hidden Springs offers it’s residents a great variety of amenities.

Facts Regarding Hidden Springs Subdivision Boise, Idaho


Hidden Springs Subdivision is a master planned community that spans over 1,800 total acres.  It is built around a 180 year old farm located in the Dry Creek Valley and is situated NW of downtown Boise.  Hidden Springs Subdivision has a total of 1,000 residential lots.  They vary in size from .10 to 1.88 acres.  

Personally, I have never really known what I think about that little community,  whenever I go there I sort of feel like I am in that movie," The Truman Show," of a few years ago. Where Jim Carey stars as character Truman Burbank, a man trapped unknowingly in a live TV broadcast of his life. Discarded as an unwanted baby, he is the first child to be adopted by a corporation, where his life is made for a TV show and is all in a bubble. So it sort of freaks me out a little bit, I guess I feel like I am in a bubble when I am out there.
