Living & working in Cranefield, Star

Cranefield is a 50.56-acre master-planned subdivision under development by Williams Homes in Star, Idaho, situated at the southeast intersection of North Can Ada Road and West State Street. The community features 203 residential building lots, consisting of 137 detached single-family homes and 66 attached townhomes. Lots range from 1,545 square feet to 25,586 square feet, accommodating three distinct product lines: townhomes in The Grove, single-family homes in The Meadows, and single-family properties in a gated section called The Preserve. For outdoor recreation and daily activity, the development allocates 13.53 acres (26.8% of the total acreage) to common open space. Neighborhood amenities include a community pool with changing facilities, a clubhouse, a children's play area, a stocked fishing pond with a dock, and paved public pathways that run along the Lawrence-Kennedy Lateral canal to connect with adjacent residential areas.

The commercial activity of Star is concentrated along West State Street, also known as State Highway 44, where local businesses include Ridley’s Family Market, Star Country Cafe, Proof Craft Kitchen, and Sully’s Pub and Grill. While there are no dedicated coworking spaces within the municipal boundaries of Star, remote workers utilize local coffee shops equipped with wireless internet, such as Beans & Brews Coffeehouse on South Plummer Way and Bordertown Coffee & Bake Shop on West State Street. For formal coworking environments, residents commute to regional offices such as Regus in neighboring Eagle or Kiln in Meridian. Connectivity to major employment hubs in Ada and Canyon counties relies entirely on private vehicles, as Valley Regional Transit does not operate active fixed-route bus service to Star. Commuters travel east toward Eagle and Boise via Highway 44, or use State Highway 16 for north-south travel, which is being extended by the Idaho Transportation Department to connect directly to Interstate 84 with a new partial cloverleaf interchange at Highway 44.
