Welcome to Kuna, Idaho. Nestled inside of bustling Ada County, Kuna lies just 18 miles southwest of Boise, the state’s capital. Unlike Meridian, Kuna isn’t estimated to be one of the fastest growing cities in the entire United States, but it is estimated to be one of the fastest growing areas in Idaho. In fact, Kuna’s population nearly tripled between 2000 and 2010!

Kuna boasts four full seasons, which is perfect for people who love to enjoy a warm summer, a crisp autumn, a verdant spring, and a mild (but sometimes snowy) winter. The weather in Kuna is considered among the best in the state of Idaho, and the summers are especially acclaimed. On average, housing prices in Kuna are also the most affordable in Ada County, without sacrificing any of the quality of life the Boise metro area is known for. Because it combines great weather and exceptional housing prices, it’s no wonder Kuna is sprouting so fast.

Though it’s growing quickly, Kuna still retains that “small town Idaho” feel that many Idaho natives cherish, and many new residents base their relocation decisions on. Despite its relatively small population size, hovering around 20,000, Kuna offers no shortage of activities. Kuna offers plenty of outdoor recreation, quality restaurants, a renowned winery, and noteworthy events. Kuna is also very business friendly, and is a popular spot for new businesses in the Treasure Valley.

Even more importantly, Kuna provides an excellent quality of life level to its residents. Kuna offers excellent schools and healthcare, and opportunities for adventure in the area abound. The thing people who live in Kuna seem to like best about the town, however, are the high quality of their friends and neighbors. Although the entire Treasure Valley is welcoming, Kuna is renowned for its friendliness and family-oriented community.

From the breathtaking outdoor attraction at Dedication Point to its charming downtown area, the growing town of Kuna has plenty to give new residents. At CBH Homes, we take great pride in our Kuna communities. We know you’ll love the small town feel, and the assurance that you’ve chosen a great place to raise a family.

Fun Fact

Kuna’s name might come from one of two places. The town originated as a railroad stop, which then offered coach transport to Boise city. The Kuna Chamber of Commerce states that “Kuna,” when translated, means “the end of the trail,” which makes sense considering its origins. Pioneer and author Charles S. Walgamott, however, believes Kuna is a Shoshone Tribe word meaning “green leaf good to smoke.”

Where To Find The Best Eats & Drinks?

Great food and drink are a defining characteristic of the Treasure Valley, and Kuna offers more than its fair share. Though Kuna is the perfect ideal of a small Idaho town, you’ll find food from a variety of countries and cultures within the city limits. Indian Creek Winery is popular across the entire Northwestern United States, and restaurants like Lima Limon, Matteo’s, and Enrique’s offer up surprising and delicious food to foodies from all over the Boise metro area.

Indian Creek Winery is often described as a “hidden gem” among Pacific Northwest wine enthusiasts. The winery itself is decorated in brilliant flowers, and it’s not uncommon to see colorful butterflies gracefully soaring the landscape in the summer months. Founded in 1982, Indian Creek Winery is family owned and operated, and produces a wide variety of wines. They offer tastings, tours, and more. It’s a popular destination for Boise residents but, when you live in Kuna, this distinguished winery is right at your doorstep.

Its casual ambience and serious gourmet menu makes it a magnet for foodies across the Valley, but it’s best known by Kuna locals as “one of the best places in town to eat!”

Enrique’s Mexican Restaurant has been a Kuna institution since 1998. Enrique and Ana, the restaurant’s owners, base their menu on their traditional family recipes. The menu is vast, and has something to suit every taste, but truly the most standout item is the molcajetes. They are served in hot lava rock bowls, which makes for a sizzlingly unique experience for any diner.
