Idaho's fastest-growing city — and still feels like home.
Meridian sits at the center of the Treasure Valley without being crowded by it. Top schools, new infrastructure, and a downtown still finding its character. For families building their first custom home, it checks the practical boxes without sacrificing the life you're building toward.

Two communities. Two different ways to picture yourself here.
Each neighborhood Iron Oak builds in has its own character. Hover to explore.
Braxton Hansen
CO-OWNER OF IRON OAK HOME
Braxton started Iron Oak Homes after spending two decades building for some of the largest home builders in the Treasure Valley. He started his own company because he wanted to do fewer homes and do them better. He's on every job, knows every client, and has zero interest in running the kind of operation where the owner is hard to reach. He and his family live here and he builds here.
'Twnety years in and I still show up to every job site."
Brian Armstrong
CO-OWNER OF IRON OAK HOMES
Brian has been in construction his whole life, literally. He came up through the trades and learned the hard way how homes are actually put together. He and Braxton became close before they became partners, and that shows in how the company runs. He's the kind of builder who catches problems before theY become your problem.
"I grew up on job sites. I just never stopped showing up to them."
