Overview

Brooke View is the only new construction 55+ community with a Boise city address — located in west Boise along the scenic Ridenbaugh Canal. At 130 homes and gated, it’s the most intimate of the Boise-area communities. The homes are customizable through the builder, giving buyers more personalization than Cadence’s Brighton product.

The Ridenbaugh Canal walking trail is a genuine amenity — a tree-lined path that runs for miles along the canal, quieter than the Greenbelt but scenic and well-maintained. St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center is approximately 15 minutes east. The location is genuinely urban-adjacent compared to Kuna (Trilogy) or south Meridian.

Idaho Homestead Exemption — Apply After ClosingIdaho’s homestead exemption reduces taxable value by 50%, capped at a $125,000 reduction. On a $550K home in Ada County, this saves approximately $850–$950/year in property tax. File with the Ada County Assessor after closing — it renews automatically each year thereafter. Ada County effective rate after exemption: ~0.76%. Canyon County: ~0.68%.
Idaho Retirement Income Deduction — $95,870 for Married FilersIdaho allows a $95,870 deduction on qualified retirement income for married filers 65+, including pension, IRA, and 401(k) distributions. Social Security is fully exempt. For most retired couples, this eliminates Idaho income tax entirely. Idaho’s flat income tax rate is 5.8% — the deduction is the offset that makes the effective burden near zero for typical retirees.
