Englefield Green

Independent Assessment

Englefield Green is among the more consistently corroborated communities: the 84-home count, the active-adult 55+ marketing, the general amenity package (clubhouse, fitness center, pool, private lake), and the low-$500Ks-to-low-$600Ks pricing all align across multiple independent directory sources rather than conflicting with one another. The specific builder, Sunrise Signature Homes, and the specific 2007-2014 construction window were also identified. The one meaningful open question is a specific current HOA dollar figure, which could not be resolved; sources describe what the fee covers but not a precise current amount.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Englefield Green suits buyers seeking a maintenance-free attached patio home in a centrally located Boise neighborhood with a genuine clubhouse-and-pool amenity package, at a mid-range Boise-metro price point (low $500,000s to low $600,000s) that sits above Willowbrook's older resale stock but reflects newer, 2007-2014 construction with larger floor plans up to roughly 2,430 square feet. Buyers who want maximum square footage or a detached single-family footprint should compare directly against Willowbrook or a conventional non-age-restricted subdivision; buyers prioritizing low-maintenance attached living with lawn care and snow removal included in HOA dues are the clearer match.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Englefield Green was built between 2007 and 2014 by Sunrise Signature Homes, comprising 84 attached patio homes ranging from approximately 1,320 to 2,430 square feet, with two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached two-car garage. Homes feature open floor plans, private patios, energy-efficient construction, large closets, and are described as having elegant kitchen finishes. The community was fully built out by 2014 with no evidence of continuing new-home sales identified, and is treated here as a completed, active-resale community.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Pricing at Englefield Green is independently observed in a range from the low $500,000s to the low $600,000s across sources reviewed. This positions the community in a mid-to-upper range within Boise's tracked 55+ inventory: above Willowbrook's older Garden City resale stock and Brooke View's manufactured-home entry point, reflecting Englefield Green's newer 2007-2014 construction, larger floor plans, and clubhouse amenity package. Buyers should request current comparable sales from a local agent given the range reported and the span of unit sizes (roughly 1,320 to 2,430 square feet) that likely drives meaningful within-community price variation.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Englefield Green's construction window closed in 2014, and no evidence of continuing builder sales was found; it is treated here as a completed, actively-traded resale community. Given the 2007-2014 build span, buyers should expect some variation in finish level and condition and should request the specific construction year and any renovation history for any home under consideration.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at Englefield Green are subject to Ada County, Idaho property tax administration. Ada County's effective property tax rate after Idaho's homestead exemption (50% of taxable value, capped at a $125,000 reduction) runs approximately 0.76%, independently corroborated at the state level; buyers should confirm the current rate and their specific eligibility with the Ada County Assessor directly. A confirmed homeowners-insurance cost range specific to this community was not found; buyers should request current quotes directly.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Englefield Green is organized around a central clubhouse, fitness center, and pool complex, with a private lake and meandering sidewalks threading through the 84-home community -- a genuinely amenity-supported layout rather than a bare-bones patio-home subdivision. The maintenance-free HOA structure (lawn care, snow removal, street sweeping all included) is the community's core lifestyle value proposition, freeing residents from the exterior upkeep that a comparable detached home would require.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Englefield Green is located at 527 S Archstone Way on the Boise Bench in Boise, Idaho (Ada County, ZIP 83709), with easy access to shops, restaurants, and medical facilities. Boise Towne Square Shopping Mall, Borah Public Pool, and grocery stores are reported nearby, with close access to Interstate 84. Buyers should confirm current drive times to specific destinations directly.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Englefield Green is independently confirmed as an active-adult 55+ community across Seniorly, 55places.com, activeadultliving.com, and topretirements.com, each describing the community as intended for individuals and couples aged 55 and older. Englefield Green is classified as legally age-restricted 55+ on the strength of this multi-source, mutually consistent confirmation; buyers should confirm the current recorded declaration and occupancy-verification practices directly with the HOA for full legal certainty.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

As an attached patio-home community, Englefield Green offers less private outdoor space and less structural independence from neighboring units than a detached single-family home; buyers used to a standalone house should understand the shared-wall or close-proximity construction typical of patio-home product before purchasing. A specific current HOA dollar figure could not be confirmed, which limits buyers' ability to budget precisely from public sources alone; the exact fee should be confirmed directly with the HOA. Built across a 2007-2014 window, buyers should also expect some variation in finish level and any subsequent updates across the resale stock, and should request the specific construction year for any home under consideration.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within Boise, Englefield Green sits between Brooke View's lower-cost manufactured-home land-lease model and Imperial Plaza's downtown high-rise condo format, offering a conventional attached-home, HOA-maintained lifestyle with a genuine clubhouse-and-pool amenity package that neither of the other two Boise communities in the tracked inventory provides at comparable scale. Compared to Willowbrook in nearby Garden City, Englefield Green's newer 2007-2014 construction and higher price point (low $500,000s to low $600,000s versus Willowbrook's older resale stock) reflect a meaningfully different vintage and market position, even though both are attached/detached HOA communities within a short distance of one another.
