Multiple Planned Communities In Idaho's Future

"The philosophy behind planned communities is sometimes called 'cradle to grave' or 'stroller to walker' because the communities are designed to accommodate young single people, families and retirees. As people’s housing needs change, they can remain in the same neighborhood. Also, several generations can live near each other."

"About a decade ago only 5 percent of new housing was in planned communities. Last year, 20 percent of new housing in the U.S. was in planned communities."

Over the past six years, plans have been drawn on more than 20 master planned communities in Idaho.
