Ambleside grand opening a big success!

The forecast called for rain all day, but it turned out to be a beautiful day for the Ambleside Grand Opening Garden Party on Saturday, June 20. We had about 500 people show up during the course of the day. The Boise Hawks ballplayers and Humphrey the Hawk were there from 10 a.m.to 4 p.m. handing out free game tickets, while the Garden Party want from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Thanks to everyone who came out to see Ambleside. Designing a townhome development along the lines of an English village is a new concept for Boise and we are pleased at its reception so far.


Just imagine how this will look when lined with rows of townhomes with rural English design.


So far, just one townhome building and the clubhouse have been built, but we're working on it.


The Glory Brass Band provided music.


Parking assistants were eager to help.


Coleen Hall was hired to class the place up and show how much fun it is to live at Ambleside. A tough job, but someone's got to do it!


No doubt about it, Ambleside is great for relaxing.


More people enjoying the great food of Chef Cordel Knight.

Interior designers also did a great job.


We specialize in smaller, high-amenity homes and this Ambleside kitchen shows it.
