2. Nothing special or unusual about Hidden Springs

It's a "planned" community like many others with HOA covenants that govern the type of architecture, paint colors, landscaping, etc. And like most newer large-scale subdivisions it's a "bedroom" community where most of the adult residents are away at work during the day, while the kids are at school. It doesn't feature a large retail or shopping area, so most of the residents will drive in to Boise to do their shopping. They have a mercantile business that serves as a community meeting place where you can order decent bistro food, sip a couple brews, and dance to live music in the evenings. My wife and I have driven out there a few times and I can assure you the folks there seemed quite normal once they actually materialize. Having said that I wouldn't care to live there, not because it's "creepy" but more due to it's isolation from things of interest and a lack of character.
