Cadence at Bainbridge

Cadence at Bainbridge is Brighton Homes' second active adult community in the Treasure Valley, a gated 55+ neighborhood tucked inside the larger Bainbridge master-planned community in Northwest Meridian, Idaho. Positioned on the south side of Chinden Boulevard between Black Cat and Ten Mile Roads, it sits across from Spurwing Estates and the Club at Spurwing Golf Course, giving residents an upscale setting with mountain views and surrounding farmland just 25 minutes from downtown Boise. The community is built around the "Heart of Cadence" (HOC), a clubhouse and community meeting space that anchors daily life. Inside the HOC, residents have access to a fitness room, an indoor pool and spa, an aerobics and dance studio, a billiards room, a tech office, activity lounges, multi-purpose meeting rooms, a full kitchen, coffee service, and indoor and outdoor dining areas. Outside, the community features pickleball courts, landscaped walking paths, park spaces, a covered outdoor patio, and a dining patio where residents gather for meals and social events. A full-time lifestyle coordinator keeps the social calendar full with clubs and classes including pickleball, billiards, book clubs, water aerobics, and yoga. Homes were designed and built exclusively by Brighton, with single-family models and attached paired villas ranging from 1,545 to 2,160 square feet. Floor plans offer two or three bedrooms, two to three bathrooms, and two- or three-car garages, with most designed as single-story homes and main-level primary suites throughout. Signature touches include open-concept living areas, walk-in pantries, stainless steel Bosch appliance packages, covered front patios, and flex spaces suited for home offices or hobby rooms. Every home is 100% Energy Star certified — Brighton markets roughly 30% energy savings versus typical new construction — and includes smart home technology with smart locks and thermostats. One distinguishing feature of Cadence at Bainbridge is that Brighton operates both for-sale homes and a rental component within the same gated neighborhood, giving buyers and renters access to the same amenities and lifestyle programming. The HOA takes care of professional landscaping, deep snow removal, amenity upkeep, and common grounds, delivering the lock-and-leave lifestyle that resonates with the community's active-adult residents. The setting is convenient and walkable to Meridian essentials. Mercato at BridgeTower shopping is 1.3 miles away, and grocery options include Albertsons, WinCo Foods, and Trader Joe's, with Rite Aid and Walgreens nearby for pharmacy needs. The Village at Meridian — a large outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment center with cafes, breweries, boutiques, and The Village Cinema — is about 10 minutes away. Healthcare is close at hand with St. Luke's Meridian Medical Center and Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center nearby. Outdoor recreation includes Eagle Island State Park, Keith Bird Legacy Park, Renaissance Park, Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park, and Fuller Park, plus several golf courses within minutes — Lakeview Golf Club, River Birch Golf Course, and Eagle Hills Golf Course. Boise and its cultural attractions, along with Boise Airport, are both roughly 25 minutes away, and Nampa sits to the southwest. Meridian itself is one of the fastest-growing cities in Idaho and has been recognized as one of Money.com's top cities to live in the U.S., which has helped fuel steady demand for homes in Cadence. While Phase 1 sold out quickly after its 2020 launch, Phase 2 followed, and homes continue to turn over in resales as the community matures.
