There’s more to see and do at SpurWing Greens, a Top 10 Neighborhood for 2012 (Ada County)

This week I met with a couple who has lived in the Boise area for over 30 years. Being empty-nesters and extraordinarily pleasant, we had a great conversation! They are retired from two successful careers, have beautiful [adult] children, and now have time to travel or enjoy all that our Boise area has to offer. They are ready to explore the options to build a new home with Tahoe at SpurWing Greens, and I couldn’t help but think,”what a perfect fit for their lifestyle!”

SpurWing Greens is one of Ada County’s top 10 neighborhoods for 2012 (www.buildidaho.com), and is considered one of the area’s most esteemed neighborhoods, known for not only its superior architecture but also its close proximity to SpurWing’s country club. A unique benefit with all home purchases in SpurWing Greens, is an automatic Lifestyle Membership to The Club at SpurWing. Enjoy access to the clubhouse and restaurant – with indoor and outdoor dining available, as well as special arrangements for private gatherings or parties. I especially like the newly remodeled fitness center, which offers a complete circuit for dedicated athletes and weekend warriors alike. The recreational list continues with a resort-sized pool, three-court tennis complex, miles of paths and trails, and acres of open space, all designed to create an idyllic setting in north Meridian. With the Ten Mile interchange less than five miles away, quick access and convenience to downtown Boise is within an easy commute.

SpurWing Greens touches on all the components of a great Idaho lifestyle – and Tahoe Homes builds a fantastic home! As one of the primary builders in SpurWing Greens, we offer a variety of single level and two-story plans available to choose from. Our interior finishes range from sleek and contemporary to relaxed traditional, with a team of designers and stylists ready to assist in building the home of your dreams. I invite you to learn more today! Please call me for a private tour or additional information on this up and coming favorite community in Meridian!

We are grateful for our extraordinary Tahoe family, a dynamic group of homeowners who recently shared some of their thoughts about Tahoe Homes. It’s very rewarding to hear positive comments and feedback about your team and systems, and overwhelmingly humbling at the same time. We love what we do – and it evidently shows in how we approach every aspect to building a home. It’s one thing to say how good you are, and quite another when the endorsement comes from outside your company. We invite you to take a look at our Testimonials and read about others’ experiences in working with us. Tahoe Homes is building in the best locations the Boise Valley has to offer – and we’d appreciate the opportunity to give you a personal tour through any of our communities. For more information, always feel free to contact our on-site agents, or reach us through our Contact us page on this website. We’d love the opportunity to build a home for you, too!

Tahoe Homes has a long tradition as being a participant in the BCA’s Fall Parade of Homes. This year, we were featured on the cover of the parade magazine, showcasing Mill Station in east Boise. We also had a SpurWing Greens full page ad facing the Parade Home Entries (a table of contents, of sorts). We had two parade homes at opposite ends of the valley, in an effort to reach or accommodate as many people as possible. Both homes were very similar in styling with sleek lines and contemporary interior finishes, though located in extraordinarily different neighborhoods. Our east Boise model, The Tilt, was located in Mill Station, east Boise’s new, trendy, cosmopolitan neighborhood in Barber Valley. And in west Meridian, we entered our Pebble Beach model in SpurWing Greens, the area’s premier country club community. Both homes on all six days of the Fall Parade event had over 100 guests, which rivals attendance numbers that we typically see during the Spring Parade of Homes (the BCA’s more popular event). In addition, both parade homes sold prior to the Parade opening day, which we attribute to the steady momentum of the local economy and the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every Tahoe home.

Looking forward to the 2013 Spring Parade of Homes!

Enjoy COCKTAILS + APPETIZERS from Lucky 13 while you tour the models in MILL STATION at Harris Ranch, Wednesday, September 19th from 5:00pm to 8:00pm.

There’s more evidence that the housing market is recovering, both on a national and state level. From July 2011 to July 2012, CoreLogic reports that U.S. home prices increased 3.8% nationally, which is the largest year-over-year rise in the past six years. Better yet, Idaho reports a full 10% gain during that same time. Arizona tops the national list with Idaho placing second, followed by Utah, South Dakota and Colorado rounding out the top five rankings. Our local MLS chapter, Intermountain Multiple Listing Service, anticipates that Idaho will stay at or near the 10% mark through the remainder of the year.

On a day-to-day level, we are seeing more contracts coming in and just an overall rise in our production. We’ve balanced the last four years better than some, but it’s great to be busy again! Our reputation of delivering quality homes at fair prices has undoubtedly contributed to our place in the market. We’re thankful for the incredible lifestyle Idaho offers. Our local economy offers many opportunities for business, and the recreational activities are almost endless. We are especially thankful for our Tahoe family of clients, friends and real estate professionals who continue to help us succeed.

The long-awaited Fred Meyer at Chinden Blvd. and Linder Rd., opened for business on Friday, June 22 – with cheers all around! As the anchor for the new Eagle Island Marketplace, the store brings not only closer shopping for the residents of Eagle, Star and Meridian, but also “200 jobs,” according to the Idaho Business Review. The “environmentally sustainable” superstore boasts 175,000 square feet and over 225,000 products. Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors just opened their doors today, with a fun variety of summer flavors and smiles everywhere. Other businesses set to join Fred Meyer in the Eagle Island Marketplace include McDonald’s, Tip Top Nail Salon, and Great Clips. The new marketplace is positioned to make grocery, household and convenience shopping simple for nearby residents, especially those of Paramount, SpurWing, and SpurWing Greens.

About Fred Meyer: Ninety years ago, a man named Fred G. Meyer opened the first Fred Meyer store with the idea of “one-stop shopping” Since then, the Fred Meyer brand has expanded into a Northwestern United States chain. The addition of this one-stop shopping center, which has an Eagle address, confirms the exciting growth occurring along this busy corridor edging both Eagle and Meridian.

Yes, it’s finally here! The 2012 BCA Parade of Homes starts tomorrow and we invite you to make SpurWing Greens the first destination on your parade route! Our new Pebble Beach model (Parade entry #3) is a single level design with 4 bedrooms/3 baths/3-car garage, with a stunning front elevation that has been talked about since framing. It feels like you’re walking into a home in Sun Valley with an urban interior vibe! This design features a private guest suite, gourmet kitchen, covered patio and formal dining. Beautifully-staged with unique accents that everyone will appreciate – this model home is simply a must see!

LOVE TAHOE? There’s more to see at SpurWing Greens! There is an Augusta model, which features an unforgettable round foyer and an oversized great room/kitchen layout that is perfect for entertaining or just casual conversation. This beautiful home backs up to common area. Our Hillcrest model is an understated classic with clean lines and a neutral color scheme to complement any decor. Both the Augusta and Hillcrest are fully decorated and fun to see! We also have two other models that will be available soon: the Cypress Pointe and Monaco; and our brand new model, Avondale, is sold but will be open to tour. Attached is a flyer for the plat map and additional details>>swg_location_map_websize

The Parade of Homes event runs from May 5 – May 20, weekends: Noon to 8 p.m.; weekdays: 5 – 8 p.m. and admission is free.

Today marks another Aha! moment for those who watch the Tahoe Homes tradition of building only in locations of long term value. Bridgetower celebrates the Grand Opening of its Final Phase of Homesites today, anchored equally by Tahoe Homes and James Clyde Custom Homes. Even in the preliminary plat phase many months ago, both builders recognized the value of these uncommonly large homesites. Not only is Bridgetower one of the best communities in north Meridian, the current demand for homesites of standard size or larger is picking up momentum. Combine those two elements to an extraordinary collection of home designs and floor plans, and one can easily envision the appealing lifestyle that Bridgetower offers. With two swimming pools, abundant common areas, an elementary school, many professional offices and Gino’s Restaurant all within walking distance, it’s an exciting group of amenities!

Open House Hours are 1 – 5 p.m. Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, all along San Remo Dr. in Bridgetower (just follow the signs)
