Local Lifestyle

When many think of master-planned communities, images of cul-du-sacs and urban grids come to mind. The Highlands goes beyond the traditional view of master-planned communities, offering unique properties integrated with the land.

Luxury villas are built into the hillside, where homeowners can see sweeping views of Boise's nature parks and city skyline. Even the streets were designed with the area's hilly topography in mind. The Highlands features 35 subdivisions, each offering a distinct design that breaks away from traditional cookie-cutter suburbs. As the Highlands continues to develop, there will be many community features, including a 6.5-acre common area, nature park, and community pool.

Dining, Shopping, & Entertainment

Living in the Highlands offers much more than fantastic views and seclusion, it also has easy access to fabulous amenities, including upscale restaurants and breweries. For many, brunch is one of the most sacred meals, and no place does brunch better than A’tavola. Located just minutes from the Highlands, A’tavola is an upscale breakfast and lunch restaurant with patio seating and a welcoming ambiance. Try the Snoqualmie Falls oatmeal for classic comfort food or one of their fresh seasonal salads. Another local restaurant known for its healthy food is Lulu’s Fine Pizza & Sushi, known for its exceptional sushi rolls and Hawaiian poke. They also serve some of Boise’s best New York-style pizza.

A popular hangout is Hawkins Pac-Out, known for its exceptional burgers and breakfast menu. What truly sets Hawkins Pac-Out apart from other restaurants is that it still has a drive-thru, where you can eat inside your car. If you'd love to relive the 1950s, order one of their signature burgers and pair it with homemade tater tots and a milkshake. 
For a relaxed night out, check out the Highlands Hollow Brewhouse, a laidback brewhouse known for its housemade beers and fantastic menu. They have four beers always on tap and over a dozen rotating varieties of beer. Grab a pint or try new flavors with their flights.
