The Town
What it's like to live in Eagle
Eagle is the Treasure Valley's established river suburb, about 10 miles northwest of downtown Boise. The Boise River splits through town, and the Greenbelt path links the city to Eagle Island State Park's open water and trails.
Relocators choose Eagle for its West Ada schools, family-friendly neighborhoods, and an outdoor life built around the river, trails, and golf. Along with Meridian it anchors the valley's suburban boom, but with a greener, leafier character that follows the river.
