Henderson Addition in Rexburg, Idaho
Three divisions, one build-out
The recorded facts first. Westates Holdings, L.C. platted Division No. 1 on May 8, 2002 (instrument 295720) — roughly 68 lots of 9,300–11,900 square feet in the northeast quarter of Section 25, with a small common-area parcel, the Rexburg Canal along the south boundary, and ground reserved as "Future Phase 2." Division #2 followed October 2005 (323540) and Division No. 3 October 2006 (331999), bringing the county pull to 148 parcels, all zoned LDR2.
Read the covenants before you write the offer, not after. They are usually short, they are always binding, and they decide things people assume they get to choose.

The assessor record shows a steady fill: 142 homes, 2003–2020, the big wave in 2007–2008, at 1,168–2,993 square feet above grade with basements in 117 of 142 — one of the more varied inventories this site has profiled, from starter-scale to large family homes on the same streets.
The covenants: one declaration per division, all still in force
This site reads covenants from recorded documents before repeating anything about them. Henderson Addition has five, and finding all five took the name index rather than the description index — the original Division 1 declaration was recorded with a blank description, so no subdivision-name search returns it. As of September 2026:
- Division 1 is governed by an amended and restated declaration recorded June 30, 2005 (instrument 320772), which replaced the January 2003 original (300876) and an April 2004 amendment (311636).
- Division 2 has its own declaration recorded January 12, 2006 (instrument 325257); Division 3 has one recorded October 19, 2006, the same day as its plat (instrument 332000). The three texts are near-identical. Each runs twenty-five years from recording and renews automatically in ten-year blocks unless a majority of owners records a change, so all three are live today.
- What they require: single-family use only; at least 1,100 square feet on the ground floor of a single-story home, or 900 on the ground floor and 1,500 total for a two-story, bi-level or one-and-a-half-story; brick or stone facing on the front, satisfied by a wainscot; stick-built only — no mobile, manufactured or modular homes, and no car ports; no metal roofing unless the committee grants an exception and the material reads as shingles or tiles; fences that look equally good from both sides and never forward of the building setback; recreational vehicles in the driveway only, never more than four days at a stretch or thirty days a year; household pets but no livestock or fowl; landscaping finished within a year of occupancy. Setbacks are left to City of Rexburg code rather than set independently.
- Who enforces it: an Architectural Control Committee with written approval over house plans and over the builder, plus the right of any aggrieved owner to sue. Every resale deed is supposed to carry a copy of the covenants attached. Changing them takes a two-thirds vote of lot owners.
- On the HOA, read this carefully: the declarations describe a homeowners association, but it is contingent. It comes into being only when the developer has sold the last lot and transfers the common area (the Fifth West entry) to it, and no recorded document shows that happening. No dues figure, no assessment schedule and no assessment lien appears in any of the five documents. Whether the non-profit was ever incorporated is not something this page has verified. So: real, live building restrictions, but no evidence of a bill.
- The near-miss worth knowing about: a search under the developer's name (Westates Holdings, L.C.) turns up a 2002 declaration recorded sixteen days after the Henderson plat (instrument 296048), full of plausible-sounding rules. Read to its Exhibit A, it covers lots in Westates Subdivision No. 1, a different subdivision. It does not bind Henderson lots. The documents that do bind them are the five above.
Flood, utilities, and broadband
- Flood: no FEMA feature intersects any of the three plat geometries (county GIS, September 2026). The canal on Division 1's south edge is the reason the standard per-property determination stays on the checklist.
- Broadband: per provider-filed FCC data (December 2025 filings, pulled September 2026), every sampled address shows Silver Star fiber up to 1,000/200 Mbps and Sparklight cable up to 1,000/50 Mbps, plus Fybercom 300/300 fixed wireless and Starlink. Provider filings, not measurements — confirm at the address.
What Henderson Addition costs: the honest version
Idaho is a non-disclosure state — sale prices are not public record. Sourced context for the market it trades in:
- $430,949 — Zillow's modeled typical home value for the city of Rexburg (ZHVI — an estimate, not a sale record; up 5.4% from a year earlier) (Zillow Research ZHVI, September 2026)
- $634,900 — median listing price, Rexburg metro area (Madison + Fremont counties), up from $599,250 a year earlier (Realtor.com via FRED, September 2026)
- $270 — median listing price per square foot, Rexburg metro area (up from $266 a year earlier) (Realtor.com via FRED, September 2026)
City-scale series don't isolate one west-side neighborhood; treat them as context. With 142 homes across a wide size range, Henderson Addition usually has a real comparable for whatever you're weighing — the useful question is which streets and which size band, which is what a properly scoped CMA answers. Subdivision-level sale data will be added from MLS records once access and publication permissions are in place.
Common questions about Henderson Addition
Where is Henderson Addition in Rexburg?
West Rexburg, south of Park Street and west of 5th West — streets include Seagull Drive, Cook Street, Rebecca Avenue, Mark Avenue, Pollard Avenue, Henderson Street, Johnson Street, and Yost Street, with the Rexburg Canal running along the south edge of Division 1.
How old are Henderson Addition homes?
County assessor detail (September 2026) shows 142 homes built 2003 through 2020, with the biggest years in 2007–2008 — a west-side neighborhood that filled in over about fifteen years across three recorded divisions (2002, 2005, and 2006).
How big are the homes?
Above-grade living space runs about 1,168 to 2,993 square feet with 3 to 7 bedrooms, and 117 of 142 homes carry basements (September 2026 assessor records) — mainstream family stock at real variety, unlike the single-product subdivisions elsewhere in town.
What do homes in Henderson Addition cost?
Idaho is a non-disclosure state — sale prices are not public record — so this page quotes no sold prices. County assessed values ran up to about $556,000 in the September 2026 pull (a taxation number, not a price). For scale, Zillow's modeled typical value for Rexburg was $430,949 in September 2026 — an estimate, not a sale record.
Does Henderson Addition have an HOA or covenants?
Yes to covenants, and a careful “not really” to the HOA. Each of the three divisions has its own recorded declaration, all still in force: Division 1 is governed by an amended and restated declaration recorded June 30, 2005 (instrument 320772, which replaced the 2003 original 300876 and the 2004 amendment 311636); Division 2 by instrument 325257, recorded January 12, 2006; Division 3 by instrument 332000, recorded October 19, 2006. Each runs twenty-five years from recording and then renews automatically in ten-year blocks unless a majority of owners records a change, so all three are live as of September 2026. They set minimum house sizes, require brick or stone facing on the front, bar mobile, manufactured and modular homes, restrict RV parking, and give an Architectural Control Committee written approval over both house plans and the builder. On the HOA: the declarations describe an association that only comes into being when the developer has sold every lot and transfers the common area, and no recorded document shows that happened. No dues amount, assessment schedule, or assessment lien appears anywhere in the five recorded documents. Whether the non-profit was ever incorporated is not something this page has verified. The title commitment at purchase is the check that counts.
Who maintains the common area?
The recorded Division 1 plat includes a small common-area parcel (about 3,700 square feet), which the Division 1 declaration identifies as the entry to the subdivision from Fifth West. Under that declaration the developer may transfer it to a homeowners association once all lots are sold — but no recorded document shows the transfer happening or the association being formed, so who owns and maintains it today is a genuinely open question. Put it to the seller and title company in writing during due diligence.
Is Henderson Addition in a flood zone?
No FEMA flood feature intersects any of the three recorded plat geometries in the county GIS flood layer (September 2026). The Rexburg Canal along the south edge of Division 1 is the reason the standard, inexpensive per-property flood determination is still worth running at purchase.
What schools serve Henderson Addition?
Madison School District 321, per the county GIS school-district layer (September 2026) — and the neighborhood sits close to the city’s park corridor off Park Street. Confirm the current attendance zone for a specific address with District 321.
