Idaho Creek
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
KB Home built Idaho Creek's single-family homes and townhomes between 2002 and 2007, with floor plans running from about 1,100 to 1,600 square feet on lots under a fifth of an acre. Union Reservoir, a few minutes northeast, offers fishing, boating, and shoreline trails; county and city park records show no separately named Idaho Creek Park in this subdivision. Hover Street and CO-119 each reach the area in about five minutes, with US-287 roughly ten minutes away. St. Vrain Valley's boundary service places Union Reservoir itself in the Big Sky PK-8 and Mead High School zones, a different feeder pattern than the Mountain View, Longs Peak, and Longmont schools listed here, so the assignment for Idaho Creek's own streets should be confirmed by address rather than assumed from the reservoir.
