Emmett Idaho neighbors the communities of Eagle and Star. Home to many orchards and the local Cherry Festival, this small rural community appeals to folks who want to live a simpler life but still be close enough to Boise to enjoy the activities that a more metropolitan area has to offer. Emmett is one of the nearby communities that qualify for 0% down financing available through the Farmer’s Home Administration known as the Rural Development Loan. In today’s highly regulated mortgage world, zero down loans are very rare making this community appealing as an affordable place to finance a home when down payment funds are short.
