Investor implication: Downtown Eagle's mixed-use envelope permits ground-floor commercial with residential above; unit counts trend lower than Meridian or Boise core but per-unit margin is higher due to premium pricing and scarce inventory.
Verify at City of Eagle Municipal Code →Cities with populations over 10,000 must allow residential development at a minimum density of 12 units per acre on tracts of 4 acres or more, with lots as small as 1,400 square feet, and setback and lot-width requirements do not apply to qualifying starter-home subdivisions.
Investor implication: Eagle's 39,800 population triggers SB 1352 compliance; 4+ acre tracts in-city must permit 12 units/acre minimum, opening density plays previously blocked by local zoning. Verify tract size and zoning district applicability before underwriting.
