Meridian is located in the Treasure Valley, a region that includes the cities of Boise, Nampa, and Caldwell. Granted, your Meridian Real Estate Guide may be a bit biased when touting all things about the area, but Meridian was named the “2nd Best Place to Live in America” by Money Magazine in 2018!
Founded in 1891 – Meridian was named for its location on the Boise Meridian, which is the imaginary line that runs north-south through the state and serves as the basis for land surveying in Idaho. Exponential growth has seen this area’s population expand from 6700 in 1990 to a current population of about 130,000! Downtown to downtown gets you from here to Boise in only 15-20 minutes, giving residents access to even more sports, culture, restaurants, and amenities.
The “vibe” here is a mix of small-town charm and suburban convenience. This fantastic area is a growing city with a strong sense of community and a hefty dose of friendliness!
