About Heron River

blue and white bird on brown rockFormerly known as the Dudley River Ranch, Heron River was originally utilized for cattle farming. The community’s proximity to the Boise River is evident, but its name is inspired by the abundance of Blue Heron nests that adorn the riverbank.

In 2005, Heron River received approval from the City of Star for the development of 546 single-family residences and 9 commercial lots on 314 acres, strategically situated near downtown Star.

Heron River comprises seven distinct subdivisions, starting with The Meadows as the pioneering development, followed by Waterview, Creekside, The Preserve, Rivershore, Countryside, and the Grove (currently in progress). Upon completion, the community will feature over 500 homes, two Community Centers, pools, tennis/pickleball courts, and a basketball court. Additionally, residents can enjoy the scenic beauty of seven ponds and eight waterfalls features. 

Approximately 44% of the community has been dedicated to preserved open space, featuring neighborhood ponds and greenbelt pathways that seamlessly connect the community. The partners have generously donated a sizable city park site to enrich the quality of life within the community and the City of Star as a whole.

 

Our southern border is graced by the majestic Boise River, while two expansive ponds and surrounding land in the southwest corner will be generously donated by the developer to the City of Star for the creation of a City Park. The City envisions offering swimming, non-motorized boating, and fishing opportunities in the ponds for public enjoyment. Furthermore, a recreation building located west of Main St will provide amenities such as boat rentals and bathrooms for visitors.
