Middleton offers residents a wonderful sense of community and a slower paced lifestyle with horses grazing in pastoral setting scattered around the budding subdivisions that continue to draw new residents that are looking for a rural lifestyle without an excessive commute. Although the business community is growing along with the new home communities, most residents are commuting to Nampa, Caldwell and Ada County so easy commuting routes have been key to growth.

The Middleton city events calendar paints a picture that tells you all you need to know about the community. In spring, children flock to the annual Easter egg hunt. The community enjoys a summertime Fourth of July celebration that includes a horseshoe tournament, classic car show, watermelon eating contest and of course a patriotic parade through town.

The annual Fall Craft Bazaar ushers in the fun activities of autumn and the holiday season featuring homemade crafts, loads of pumpkins, hot cinnamon rolls and bread bowls of piping hot soup. The Middleton Annual Christmas Parade welcomes in winter with fun activities for the family and culminates at Trolley Station to warm up with hot chocolate and cookies while the kids share their wish lists with Santa.

Given the rapid growth of Middleton, it's no surprise to learn that new construction makes up about 70% of total home sales in 2013. New homes range in price from $115,000 - $350,000 offering home buyers a diverse range of opportunities from affordable three bedroom, two bathroom homes to horse properties on large acreages.
