Hidden Springs, ID

I just posted a market summary for Hidden Springs, Idaho at this link on localism.com. There are two pages on localism.com for Hidden Springs, so check that one out, too! Hidden Springs is actually a planned community in Boise, Idaho. The area is set up as it's own city, so many think of it as such. In reality, however, it is a subdivision within Boise. Now you know why there are two pages for Hidden Springs! (I know...way more than you wanted to know).

Thanks!

I would like to share a quick story that illustrates why Hidden Springs, Idaho is such a fantastic place to live. This happened to a friend of mine and I was totally surprised to hear of something like this still occurring in 2009. My friend needed a quick treat for her family and so she headed down to the small grocery store known as the Mercantile to pick up some ice cream. The store was about to close and the clerk was counting up the money from the till for that day. My friend apologized for only having cash and said she would run and grab her credit card to save the clerk some time from recounting. The clerk told her not to worry about it but that she could swing by tomorrow and pay for it (which of course she did). Wow!! This level of trust and confidence in your clientele isn’t something you see everyday. This reminds me of scene from the Andy Griffith show, not something that you would expect from someone living in our day. This is one of the benefits of living in a small community – everyone knows everyone. People can trust their neighbors and know that they will follow through on what they say they will do. These so-called old fashioned values are what America is built on and are a breath of fresh air. This quick example speaks to the great people that make up Hidden Springs.

As fall time rolls around I am continually impressed with the many activities Hidden Springs has to offer – one of which is the 7^th annual Zeitgeist Half Marathon. It offers 13 miles of rolling hills through the beautiful community of Hidden Springs. It starts off at Optimist Park and runners travel up the ever-challenging Seaman’s Gulch road. It then winds through the community where participants can see the lovely maple tress that line the streets changing to red and gold colors. Runners finish off the loop on the rustic Cartwright Road where they get a first hand view of the many beauties the foothills have to offer. This is a fabulous opportunity to gets some great exercise, enjoy some great company as well as get an up close look at one of the Treasure Valley’s most beautiful areas. I think what is equally impressive to the gorgeous landscape is the amount of community support that is seen at this event. Not only is there a tremendous number of participants but volunteers and spectators line the streets to cheer the runners on. For those readers who have finished a long running event, such as this, the cheers can really help those 13 miles go by a lot faster. So if you want to get a first hand look at Hidden Springs and the people there, come join the cheers of the Zeitgeist Half Marathoners on Saturday November 1, 2008.
