The Eagle area includes dozens of luxury communities with magnificent monument entrances, beautiful streetscapes, waterfront lots, and large custom-built homes located between Hwy 55 to Hwy 16 and from the Foothills south to Chinden Boulevard.. Many luxury homes are located along the north and south channels of the Boise River. Eagle is the western end of the 25-mile Boise Greenbelt that offers everybody a chance to enjoy the fresh air and a slice of natural beauty. The Greenbelt ends at Eagle Island State Park, where there are playgrounds, bike paths, plenty of grassy space, and swimming areas in the Boise River

Open space, firm—but appealing—design standards, old-style streetlights, proximity to lakes and rivers, and tree-lined streets all contribute to a city that conveys an attractive allure to visitors, as well as those who are pleased to call Eagle “home".

To sustain its quality of life amenities, Eagle has focused many of its developmental efforts on expanding the availability of parks and related entities that enhance life for residents. Pocket parks are required in many of the newer subdivisions, with pathways connecting neighborhoods and linking the Boise River Greenbelt system to the community.
