Some residents have coined the term “rurban” to characterize the city of Eagle as a community that’s maintaining its rural charm in the otherwise increasingly urban setting of Southwestern Idaho.
Open space, appealing but firm design standards, and a Western architectural theme featuring old style street lights and tree lined streets all contribute to a city that confers an attractive allure to visitors, as well as those who are pleased to call Eagle “home.”

 Welcome to Eagle Eagle is located 10 miles west of downtown Boise in Ada County, between the Boise River and the Boise foothills. From its roots as a small farming community in the late 1800s, Eagle grew slowly to a community of 2,500 in 1990. By 2003, the population was estimated at 14,000!
In response to this growth, the city of Eagle has acknowledged that its primary function is to serve as a bedroom community to Boise and other Treasure Valley employment centers, and is working to assure that it is a desirable place to live and raise a family.
