Heritage Grove sits in Meridian, in a busy area with lots of traffic, but it offers a quiet neighborhood close to schools, parks, and shopping, so folks don't have to go far to find what they need, and the location sits on a corner lot that's zoned for limited office use with plenty of parking and road frontage, which gives it nice visibility in a professional office park. The 55+ community began in 2003, has 290 homes now fully built by local builders, and the homes come in styles like Traditional, Carriage Lane, and Patio, with floor plans set up for comfortable living, most staying between about 1,254 and 1,969 square feet, which works out to two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and sometimes a two-car garage, and there are three brand new, single-level floor plans for even easier access, all on mostly level ground with utilities in place and landscaping included in the HOA. The HOA dues range from $95 to $150 a month, sometimes with an extra transfer fee, and those dues take care of things like snow removal, lawn care, landscaping, and the use of pressurized irrigation, so residents get low-maintenance yards and common grounds that stay tidy. There's a well-appointed clubhouse with a multipurpose room, outdoor patio, fitness center, spa/wellness room, and places to gather for daily activities, games, and resident events, and people often share time together at the large parks, community garden, picnic areas, open green spaces, scenic pond, and walking or biking paths, which loop around the neighborhood and give folks good places for a stroll or some peace and quiet. Heritage Grove holds regular get-togethers like Easter egg hunts, summer barbecues, and movie nights on the commons, and there's always some resident-led activity or club meeting going on, from arts and crafts to outdoor programs and community theater evenings, plus a library, game room, children's parks, and even a clubhouse for private or community events.
For those who need a bit more help, Heritage Grove has assisted living, memory care, respite care, and even nursing home services available, all with 24-hour support and specialized programs to help folks keep their independence while getting help with daily tasks, personal care, medication, or even meals, and they offer secure areas that are safe for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, along with memory-enhancing activities and an emergency alert system for peace of mind. The private rooms have kitchens or kitchenettes, private bathrooms, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, and they come either furnished or unfurnished depending on needs, while all-day, restaurant-style dining means folks get fresh meals with some allergy-sensitive choices. Housekeeping, laundry, and even help with moving in and family support services come with the community, and the whole development takes pride in energy-efficient and ENERGY STAR®-certified homes, some with third-party home ratings or warranties, and all homes keep things simple and easy to maintain, helping everyone enjoy the outdoors, the clubhouse, and all those walking paths a bit more without worrying too much about household chores or upkeep. Home sales in Heritage Grove tend to average around $324 per square foot, with some lots ranging from 0.07 acres to 0.17 acres, and the market price has hovered anywhere from about $254,000 to about $480,000 in recent years, meaning there's a fair amount of variety in size and price. Heritage Grove sits in the West Ada School District, near Prospect Elementary, Heritage Middle, and Rocky Mountain High, and you can get to places like Settlers Park, Fred Meyer, The Village at Meridian, St. Luke's Medical Center, and even downtown Boise or the airport in just a short drive, so you don't feel too far from anything when living here.
