Willowbrook wins on price, Boise proximity, and Greenbelt access. It loses on amenity scale. The buyer Willowbrook is right for is someone who wants the Idaho financial advantages — zero income tax on SS, $95,870 retirement deduction, Ada County homestead exemption — at the lowest possible purchase price and annual cost, with the best downtown Boise access in the market. They will use the Greenbelt, not a resort pool. They will drive downtown for dining, not eat at an onsite restaurant.
