Star is an inviting town in the Treasure Valley, where
residents enjoy a peaceful and connected lifestyle
combining the beauty of open spaces with small-
town living. Compared to larger near-by cities, Star
maintains a quieter pace. With growth bringing more
amenities and some increased activity, particularly
in newer neighborhoods, while preserving its calm
atmosphere. Despite its rural feel, Star is only about
30 minutes from downtown Boise.
The Star River Walk along the Boise River is ideal for
birdwatching, picnicking, walking and cycling. One of
Star’s standout destinations is Sol Invictus Vineyard.
With exceptional wines and picturesque setting, this
vineyard hosts community-oriented events, including
live music, seasonal celebrations, and tastings. The
Star Chili Cook-Off, held annually at Hunter’s Creek
Park, features a chili-tasting competition, pie-eating
contests, and music for a fun and flavorful day.
