Meridian neighborhood · Northwest Meridian
Bainbridge, Meridian.
An active master-planned community south of Chinden between Ten Mile and Black Cat — Cadence at Bainbridge (Brighton's 55+ phase) is selling alongside semi-custom builders.
What stands out
Why buyers like Bainbridge.
- Active build, mixed buyer pool. Cadence at Bainbridge — Brighton's 55+ collection — is selling alongside semi-custom builders, so you get new-construction energy without one builder owning the whole community.
- Real amenity package. Pool, parks, 22 common areas, and a planned elementary inside the master plan — the kind of resort feel you pay an HOA for.
- Black Cat / Chinden corridor access. Quick to Star, Eagle, and the Linder corridor. Chinden is the spine, Black Cat is the back-door route.
- More demographic mix than typical NW master-planned. Family buyers and 55+ buyers in the same community — different cadence on the streets than a one-note family or one-note retirement project.
- Verify school zone. Bainbridge falls between Owyhee HS and Rocky Mountain HS depending on parcel — confirm via the West Ada lookup before assuming a school for any specific lot.
