Rock Creek Hollow in Rexburg, Idaho — the association-maintained community, from the recorded documents
What the record shows on the ground
The recorded facts first. Phase 1 was platted January 2, 2007 (instrument 333817) and Phase II — "A Planned Unit Development" — followed February 8, 2008 (instrument 343465), off Pioneer Road in south Rexburg, zoned HDR1 (high-density residential). County assessor detail (September 2026): 122 homes built 2007–2018 — 40 in the first year, then steady infill — running 1,380–1,420 square feet above grade, every one a 3-bedroom, basements in only 4. That uniformity is by design: one product, repeated, under one management structure, with the interior private streets and unit addresses sitting behind a single Pioneer Road frontage in the county's address data.
The declaration: who does what, from the read text
Rock Creek Hollow runs on a 50-page Declaration of CC&Rs recorded April 24, 2007 (instrument 336579, key articles read for this page), extended to Phase II by a 2009 amendment (354905). It adopts the Idaho Condominium Property Act framework and creates Rock Creek Hollow Owners Association, Inc. The split of responsibilities is the part every buyer should understand before falling for the price:
- The association maintains the unit exteriors as a common expense — expressly including the exterior appearance of each garage door — plus the private streets and driveways, entry gates, clustered mailboxes, and common areas. The board must inspect the common areas and report condition, planned work, and deferrals to owners with the annual budget.
- Common expenses include sewer, centrally metered utilities, and trash service for the units — services a conventional homeowner pays separately. The assessment here is not an amenity fee; it is a bundle of housing costs.
- Owners keep the inside: interior maintenance, daily upkeep of assigned patios/balconies/entryways, and a working garage door. Damage an owner causes to common areas is billed back and collectible like an assessment.
- No dollar amount appears in the recorded text — the annual budget sets it. Ask the association for the current budget and fee sheet, and treat any dues number quoted anywhere else as unverified.
- Strict, specific rules: all vehicles garage-kept (the definition runs from cars through boats and RVs), board-approved trash containers, two-pet limit with leash rules, no outside clotheslines, no temporary residences, board approval plus engineer certification for structural changes.
- Sale and lease protections: no right of first refusal exists on sales, and restrictions on an owner's right to sell or lease cannot be imposed without 67% approvals — no leasing restriction appears in the sections read. Owners may inspect the books and receive a free audited annual financial statement — worth actually requesting in due diligence.
An association that maintains the outside of your house is doing real work, and you are paying for it either way. Compare the dues against what doing it yourself would cost before you call them high.

Flood, schools, and broadband
- Flood: no FEMA feature intersects either plat geometry (county GIS, September 2026); per-property determination still standard.
- Schools: Madison School District 321 (county GIS, September 2026).
- Broadband: per provider-filed FCC data (December 2025 filings, pulled September 2026) at the community's addressed parcel: Silver Star fiber up to 1,000/200 Mbps, Sparklight cable, Blackfoot and CenturyLink fiber also filed. These are filings, not measurements, and the county address data resolves this community to a single frontage — confirm service options at the specific unit.
What Rock Creek Hollow costs: the honest version
Idaho is a non-disclosure state — sale prices are not public record. Sourced context for the market around it:
- $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)
- 7.24% — average 30-year fixed mortgage rate, U.S. (Freddie Mac PMMS via FRED, week of October 29, 2026)
Assessed values reached about $312,000 in the September 2026 county pull (taxation numbers, not prices). The honest arithmetic for this community: purchase price plus the assessment, minus the sewer, trash, utility, and exterior-maintenance line items you would pay anyway elsewhere — run that comparison before concluding anything from the sticker. Subdivision-level sale data will be added from MLS records once access and publication permissions are in place.
Common questions about Rock Creek Hollow
What is Rock Creek Hollow?
A planned unit development off Pioneer Road in south Rexburg, platted in two phases (2007 and 2008) and zoned high-density residential. County assessor detail (September 2026) shows 122 homes built 2007–2018 — nearly identical at 1,380–1,420 square feet, all 3-bedroom, almost none with basements. It runs on a condominium-law framework under Rock Creek Hollow Owners Association, Inc.
What does the association actually do here?
More than most: per the recorded declaration (instrument 336579, key articles read for this page), the association maintains the UNIT EXTERIORS as a common expense — including the exterior appearance of garage doors — along with the private streets and driveways, entry gates, clustered mailboxes, and common areas, and the common expenses expressly include sewer, centrally metered utilities, and trash service for the units. Owners maintain their interiors, sweep their own assigned patios and entryways, and keep their garage door working.
What are the dues?
The recorded text sets the machinery — an annual budget, assessments secured by a lien under the Idaho Condominium Property Act — but no dollar amount appears in the sections read, and this page will not invent one. Because dues here cover exterior maintenance, streets, gates, sewer, utilities, and trash, the number is a bigger share of the real monthly cost than in a typical subdivision: get the current budget and fee sheet from the association before writing an offer.
Can you rent out a Rock Creek Hollow home?
No leasing restriction appears in the sections read, and the declaration expressly prohibits any right of first refusal on sales; it also requires supermajority (67%) approvals before restrictions on an owner’s right to sell or lease could be imposed. Board rules can add detail, so a buy-to-rent buyer should confirm current rules with the association in writing.
What are the day-to-day rules?
From the read text: all vehicles — cars, trucks, RVs, boats, trailers — must be kept in a fully enclosed garage except as the declaration otherwise provides; trash only in board-approved containers, with the board empowered to run a community-wide trash service; at most two household pets without board permission, dogs leashed (six feet) outside; no outside clotheslines; no temporary residences; structural or exterior-visible alterations need board approval, with an engineer’s certification for structural work.
What do homes in Rock Creek Hollow 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 $312,000 (September 2026 pull; taxation numbers, not prices). For scale, Zillow's modeled typical value for Rexburg was $430,949 in September 2026 — an estimate, not a sale record. With 122 near-identical homes, comps are unusually clean — but the real comparison is total monthly cost including the assessment, because the assessment carries services other neighborhoods pay separately.
Is Rock Creek Hollow in a flood zone?
No FEMA flood feature intersects either recorded plat geometry in the county GIS flood layer (September 2026). A per-property determination at purchase remains standard.
What schools serve Rock Creek Hollow?
Madison School District 321, per the county GIS school-district layer (September 2026). Confirm the current attendance zone with District 321.
