Middleton is a unique rural community (population 5,175) that offers a rare quality of life. Nestled in the Treasure Valley with two mountain ranges in full view, Middleton boasts a mild climate with four seasons. Middleton is one of the fastest growing communities in Idaho, yet continues to offer a small town feel for those who live here.

Middleton is within easy commuting distance (6-25 miles) of large industries, and is surrounded by agricultual land. Highway 44 passes through town, providing easy access to I-84 (3 miles to the west) and to Boise and the State Capitol (20 miles to the east). Boise is the largest city in Idaho and offers a complete line of shopping and cultural activities. Residents of Middleton enjoy the country life in the great outdoors with the Boise River passing just south of town and Bogus Basin, Tamarack, and other popular ski resorts just an hour away. Our residents enjoy some of the best hunting, fishing, mountain biking, kayaking, and river rafting in the United States.

The City has really boomed in the last 6 years with residential construction. There is a 35 unit affordable housing complex that was completed in late 2004 and a new Assisted living facility that opened in July 2005. Water is clean and pure with no additives. The City has just finished a 1.2 million dollar upgrade on the sewer system and wastewater treatment facilities are in place to accommodate a population of 30,000.
