Fairbourne Meridian Idaho: Homes, HOA, Maps and Market Data
Fairbourne, without the guesswork
This is a buyer first look at Fairbourne in North Meridian. It connects the public neighborhood name to the three recorded subdivisions that are actually supported, then puts current listings, recent sales, association documents, location tradeoffs, and a clean due diligence plan in one place.
What a buyer needs to know first
Fairbourne is the name buyers and the local listing service use. The supported recorded scope is Fairbourne Subdivision Nos. 1, 2, and 3. Those three phases contain 207 current county parcel records. Fairbourne Subdivision No. 4 is not included because a plat by itself does not prove association membership, and no applicable declaration, supplement, or annexation for No. 4 was found in the current evidence pass.
The scope rule
Use the public name Fairbourne for discovery. Use the legal description, the applicable plat, the recorded governing package, the association statement, and title work to decide what applies to a specific home. Similar names, nearby land, a listing label, or a street location are not enough.
See what is available now
The live search below uses the exact Fairbourne subdivision label with Meridian as the city. Inventory changes quickly. The verified preflight found 10 Active listings, 2 Pending listings, and no Coming Soon listings. Before treating any result as part of this resource, match its legal description to Fairbourne Subdivision No. 1, 2, or 3.
If the feed changes or temporarily fails, ask Brian for the current Fairbourne list.
What the retained sales actually show
I retained 14 Fairbourne sales reported closed from July 18, 2025 through July 17, 2026. Every retained sale matched directly to the 207 parcel universe for Nos. 1 through 3. No address fallback was needed and nothing remained unresolved. That gives us a clean sample, but it is still a small neighborhood sample. Read the medians as context, not as a value conclusion for one house.
| Measure | Verified result | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Closed sales | 14 | The denominator for every sold median below |
| Median sold price | $707,000 | A middle point for the retained sample, not an appraisal |
| Median sold price per square foot | $312.15 | A rough comparison tool that does not adjust for lot, finish, condition, or plan |
| Median reported days on market | 40 | Reported listing exposure before contract |
| Median reported cumulative days | 41 | Reported cumulative exposure across the listing history |
Current listing status
Status snapshot checked July 18, 2026. Full listing objects were reviewed privately. No licensed row data is published here.
Selected county parcel records
Counts are current Ada County parcel records, not a promise about the number of homes or association members.
The median active asking price was $847,450 at the same check. I do not compare that number directly to the sold median and call it a trend. Active asking prices are seller choices. Sold prices are completed transactions. The mix of size, lot, condition, plan, and finish can change the two groups fast.
Confirm the exact property, not a remembered number
The legal association name is Fairbourne Owners Association, Inc. The current public contact trail points to PMI Treasure Valley, and the official PMI site sends document orders through HomeWiseDocs. I am intentionally not publishing a current dues amount. A buyer needs the exact property statement and the applicable recorded package, not a number copied from an old listing or a neighborhood summary.
- Start with the seller. Request the current association disclosures, any notices, and the documents the seller received for the exact lot.
- Use the current manager route. Confirm Fairbourne Owners Association, Inc. through PMI Treasure Valley and order the property package through its HomeWiseDocs route.
- Get the full property statement. Ask for current dues, transfer and disclosure charges, account balance, any property specific issue, and the governing documents that the manager says apply.
- Have title and escrow reconcile it. Match the legal description, phase, membership, payee, charges, balances, and later recorded instruments before the offer deadline and again before closing.
How the public name connects to the record
Fairbourne No. 1
65 current county parcel records. Plat instrument 2020 108960. The amended and restated master directly describes No. 1.
Fairbourne No. 2
70 current county parcel records. Plat instrument 2020 108977. The amended and restated master directly describes No. 2.
Fairbourne No. 3
72 current county parcel records. Plat instrument 2021 169329. Amendment 2022 000972 expressly annexes No. 3 into the master declaration.
Why No. 4 stays out
A Fairbourne Subdivision No. 4 plat was recorded June 5, 2026. The current county parcel layer showed one record under that label. A fresh Recorder search through the index available July 7, 2026 found no applicable Fairbourne No. 4 declaration, supplement, or annexation. So this page does not treat No. 4 as part of the association or the market sample. If you are buying there, title needs to produce the exact recorded instrument that controls that property.
The North Meridian tradeoff is mostly about daily routes
Fairbourne sits near West Chinden Boulevard and North Black Cat Road. That places it in the North Meridian growth area I have discussed in my own local videos. The useful question is not whether North Meridian is good or bad. It is whether your normal drives, lot expectations, and house priorities fit this particular part of Meridian.
North Meridian can put shopping, dining, and newer development patterns into your daily orbit. The tradeoff is that freeway access may take more surface street time than it would from parts of South Meridian. That matters differently for someone who works from home, someone who commutes toward Boise, and someone whose week revolves around Eagle, Star, or west Meridian.
Do the boring test before you fall in love with the kitchen. Drive from the exact house to work, school, groceries, medical care, and the people you visit most. Do it at the times you will actually travel. A map estimate is a planning tool. Your Tuesday morning is the real test.
Use the exact address lookup
The current buyer verification route is the West Ada School District address lookup, but this page does not assign a school to every home. Boundaries and programs can change, and a nearby school is not proof of attendance rights.
- Enter the exact property address in the West Ada address lookup.
- Confirm the result directly with the district before relying on it in a move decision.
- Ask about transportation, special programs, capacity, transfer rules, and enrollment timing if any of those affect your plan.
Useful estimates, not promises
These Google route snapshots start from the Fairbourne area near Chinden Boulevard and Black Cat Road. They were checked July 18, 2026. Traffic, construction, weather, and the exact home can change every result.
| Destination | Snapshot | Buyer check |
|---|---|---|
| The Village at Meridian | About 8.7 miles and 18 minutes | Test Chinden traffic at your normal time |
| Downtown Boise | About 14.5 miles and 26 minutes | Compare the route you would really use |
| Boise Airport | About 17.9 miles and 23 minutes | Recheck for flight time and road conditions |
| Ten Mile Road interchange area | About 5.5 miles and 11 minutes | Test the surface street segment during commute hours |
Compare the house and the lot as one decision
I am not publishing a builder roster because current authoritative evidence did not establish one for every retained home. The verified closed sale sample gives more defensible context: the median year built was 2021, the median finished area was 2,400.5 square feet, and the median reported lot size was 0.1745 acres.
That lot median is where a useful buyer conversation starts. A compact lot can reduce yard work and put more of the purchase price into the house. It can also change privacy, window separation, driveway use, street parking, outdoor storage, drainage, irrigation, and the amount of practical yard you actually get. A listing photo will not answer those questions.
At the house
Walk both side yards. Stand at the rear windows. Check fence placement, grade, drainage paths, equipment locations, and how neighboring windows line up.
In the records
Review the plat, easements, setbacks, permits, legal description, and recorded restrictions. Confirm which builder completed the home and what warranty records remain.
In your routine
Park the cars you actually own. Picture trash day, guests, deliveries, pets, yard tools, and the way you use outdoor space in July and January.
A clean order of operations
- Prove the legal phase. Match the property to Fairbourne Subdivision No. 1, 2, or 3. If it is No. 4 or another tract, stop using this page as the controlling package.
- Order the current association package. Use the seller, PMI Treasure Valley, HomeWiseDocs, and title or escrow. Verify every amount and property specific obligation in writing.
- Read the controlling chain. For Nos. 1 and 2, start with the amended and restated master. For No. 3, add the 2022 amendment. Then review the applicable plat and later title exceptions.
- Verify schools by address. Use the West Ada lookup and confirm directly with the district.
- Verify taxes and legal description. Use the Ada County Assessor, then rely on title for the closing conclusion.
- Check permits. Use the City of Meridian permit portal and ask the seller about additions, finishes, and repairs.
- Check flood and hazard information. Start with the FEMA Map Service Center. Ask your insurer about the exact property and current underwriting.
- Confirm utilities and irrigation. Identify every provider, meter, billing account, irrigation source, seasonal schedule, and maintenance duty for the exact lot.
- Price insurance before deadlines. Give the insurer the address, construction details, claims information available to you, and any association coverage documents it requests.
- Test the daily routes. Drive them at real commute, school, and weekend times. Do not buy from a map pin.
The document archive behind the scope
These first party PDFs are checksum exact copies of the Ada County Recorder files. The archive helps you understand the chain, but it is not a title report and it may not contain every later instrument affecting one property. If an embedded viewer does not load on your phone, use the button below it.
Amended and restated master
Instrument 2020 126064. This directly describes Nos. 1 and 2 and supersedes the original master.
First amendment for No. 3
Instrument 2022 000972. This expressly annexes Fairbourne Subdivision No. 3.
Original master archive
Instrument 2020 113898. Keep it in the historical chain, but start current review with the amended and restated master.
No. 4 plat, excluded
Instrument 2026 040628. The plat is preserved for boundary transparency. It does not prove association membership.
The useful answer is in the boundaries
Fairbourne looks simple until you ask a title level question. Then one neighborhood name becomes three supported legal phases, a later plat that stays outside the current scope, a current association document route, and a market sample that has to be reconciled privately. That is exactly why this resource exists.
First, treat No. 4 as a control, not a footnote
A sloppy neighborhood page would see the same name and pull No. 4 into the story. I would not. The plat tells us land was platted under that name. It does not tell us the existing association accepted it, which governing document applies, or what a particular owner owes. Keeping it out protects the legal scope and the market numbers at the same time.
Second, do not turn active asking prices into a market trend
The 10 Active listings and 2 Pending listings are a useful inventory snapshot. The 14 retained closes give us a clean sold sample. They are different groups of homes at different stages. If the active mix leans larger, newer, or more upgraded, the asking median can sit well above the sold median without proving that values jumped. Compare the exact competitive set before making an offer.
Third, compact lots create specific questions
The 0.1745 acre median in the closed sample is not a rule for every home. It is a signal to inspect space carefully. Buyers often focus on the floor plan and discover the side yard, parking, privacy, drainage, or outdoor storage issue later. My advice is simple. Walk the lot slowly. Then pull the plat and restrictions while the physical details are still fresh in your mind.
Finally, test North Meridian against your real week
In my local videos, I consistently frame North Meridian around growth, newer housing choices, and a different access pattern than South Meridian. That is useful local context, not a current promise about one house. Fairbourne may put the places you use every week in a convenient pattern, or it may add surface street time to a Boise commute. The only honest answer comes from your calendar and your routes.

About the author
Brian Hymas
I've spent 35 years in the Treasure Valley — born in Boise, raised in Meridian, lived in Eagle for 8 years, now on acreage in Middleton. Before I was an agent, I was an appraiser. That means I see homes differently than most. I've closed over 120 transactions and more than $100M in sales, but the number I'm most proud of is the families who moved here from California, Washington, and beyond and said it was the best decision they ever made. There's a lot more to the story.
