Valley View subdivision in Rexburg, Idaho

Valley View is really three related developments on Rexburg's southeast bench sharing one name: the 1970s–80s Estates on rural-residential lots up to ~4.7 acres, the 2000s Divisions 4–6 where county assessments reach $1.36 million, and a small 2007 townhome phase. Ten recorded plats, five decades of building, covenants that differ by division — this guide reads the actual documents and keeps the branches straight. From a licensed Rexburg agent.

What got platted: one name, three branches, five decades

The recorded facts first. The family spans ten recorded plats: Valley View Estates Division No. 1 (July 1973, recorded under county jurisdiction — instrument 149674), the Estates 1st Amended plat (1982), Division 3 (1983 — its plat calls the area "Part of Rexburg Heights"), Division 4 (2000), Division 5 (2004); Valley View Division 6 in three phases (2006, 2007, 2010, with Phase 3 re-platted December 2025 — instrument 471459); and Valley View Townhomes Phase 1 (2007). Everything after the original division sits inside Rexburg city limits.

The 2000s-era divisions were developed by DSC Investments, L.C. with Stevens Construction (named as declarant on the recorded covenants for Divisions 4 and 6). And one clarification the record forces: Valley View is not Neville Valley View — that is a separate 1971 subdivision that shares two words of its name and nothing else. County searches mix them together; this guide does not.

Homes and lots, branch by branch

  • The Estates (original + amended + Div 3): the settled side — about 44 homes built 1973 through the mid-2000s, on rural-residential (RR1) zoning in the original division with lots up to ~4.7 acres. Assessed values ran about $387,000–$917,000 in August 2026.
  • Divisions 4 and 5 (2000/2004): the big-home era — 16 homes built 2001–2021, assessed roughly $703,000 up to $1.36 million, the family's top and among the highest in the city.
  • Division 6 (2006–2010, still filling in): 13 homes built 2007–2025, assessed about $506,000–$1.04 million; a few parcels are still taxed as irrigated agricultural land, and Phase 3's five parcels remain vacant after the December 2025 re-plat.
  • Townhomes Phase 1 (2007): the branch that mostly didn't happen — eight parcels including a common area, but only two townhomes ever built (both 2008), assessed around $421,000–$426,000.
  • Family-wide: above-grade living space runs ~648–6,543 sq ft, bedrooms 2–8, and basements show in 80 of 97 assessor records (all figures: county parcel and assessor detail records, August 2026 — assessed values are taxation numbers, not market prices).

Covenants: read per division, because that is how they were recorded

There is no single "Valley View CC&R document" — covenants here attach division by division, and this guide read the recorded text rather than summarizing rumors:

  • Division 6 Phase 1 — Declaration recorded April 2006 (instrument 327130), amended effective January 2025 by owners holding two-thirds of the lots (instrument 467610). From the recorded text: professional, committee-approved contractor; stick-built only (no mobile, manufactured, or modular homes); minimum 2,100 sq ft ground floor for a single story (2,000 ground / 3,000 total for multi-story, excluding basement and garage); at least a two-car attached garage — carports expressly not acceptable; the 2025 text bans metal and vinyl siding and flat roofs (minimum 6/12 pitch); and no basement apartments or separate rental units within a home. Landscaping must be professionally done with sprinklers within a year; vacant lots must be mowed.
  • Division 6 Phase 3 — its own declaration (instrument 360058) and its own 2025 first amendment (instrument 467083) with the same upgraded contractor standard — the 2025 amendments were a coordinated, owner-driven refresh across Division 6.
  • Division 4 (plus one Division 3 lot) — Declaration recorded January 2000 (instrument 282208): same structure, slightly smaller minimums (2,000 sq ft single-story; 1,800/2,800 multi-story), setbacks of 35 ft front / 30 back / 10 sides.
  • The Estates divisions and the Townhomes — no subdivision-wide declaration surfaced in the county index under the subdivision's name (the index shows only lot-specific instruments there). That is not the same as "no covenants": which declaration, if any, governs a specific lot is a title question, answered during due diligence for that lot.

Governance, verified as far as the record goes: the read covenants establish an Architectural Control Committee and amendment by two-thirds owner vote — not a homeowners association, and no assessments. A statewide Idaho Secretary of State search found no registered association matching this subdivision (the same-named entities that do exist are in other Idaho towns, ruled out by address). The covenants run 25 years from recording with automatic ten-year extensions, they attach to every deed at resale, and if the committee ever ceases to function, plan approval routes to the City of Rexburg building inspector. Who maintains the townhome phase's common area is an open question this page will not guess at — ask for the association and fee picture in writing during due diligence.

Flood, utilities, and services

  • Flood: no FEMA flood feature intersects the recorded plat footprints in the county GIS flood layer (queried August 2026) — this is bench ground. A per-property determination at purchase remains standard.
  • City services: the post-1982 divisions are inside Rexburg city limits; the original 1973 Estates division recorded under county jurisdiction, so confirming its water/sewer situation (city service vs well and septic) belongs in due diligence for those specific lots. Utility specifics are being confirmed with the city and will be stated here precisely rather than assumed now.
  • Broadband — worth checking per lot: per provider-filed FCC National Broadband Map data (December 2025 filings, pulled August 2026), every sampled Valley View address shows Sparklight cable up to 1,000/50 Mbps, and Silver Star fiber-to-the-premises (up to 1,000/200 Mbps) reaches 7 of 8 sampled addresses — with Fybercom multi-gigabit fiber (filed at up to 10,000/10,000 Mbps) at some addresses and Fybercom fixed wireless at 500/500 elsewhere. Which fiber flavor serves a specific lot varies, so check the exact address. These are the speeds providers filed with the FCC, not measurements — fiber providers often sell faster tiers than they file, so confirm current plans.

What Valley View costs: the honest version

Idaho is a non-disclosure state — sale prices are not public record. Anyone quoting a precise "Valley View median sold price" is estimating without saying so. What can be said honestly: the branch-by-branch assessed ranges above, plus sourced context for the market it trades in:

  • $433,148 — Zillow's modeled typical home value for the city of Rexburg (ZHVI — an estimate, not a sale record; up 5.0% from a year earlier) (Zillow Research ZHVI, July 2026)
  • $626,225 — median listing price, Rexburg metro area (Madison + Fremont counties), up from $597,498 a year earlier (Realtor.com via FRED, July 2026)
  • 72 days — median days on market, Rexburg metro area — up from 44 days in April 2026 and 58 days in July 2025, a market steadily slowing (Realtor.com via FRED, July 2026)

Geography caveat, stated plainly: the ZHVI figure models the whole city of Rexburg and the metro series blends Madison and Fremont counties — neither isolates Valley View, and nothing above isolates one branch from another. Subdivision-level sale data will be added from MLS records once access and publication permissions are in place.

Common questions about Valley View

Is Valley View one subdivision or several?

One family, several recorded pieces. The name covers Valley View Estates (first platted 1973, amended and extended through 1983, plus Divisions 4 and 5 in 2000 and 2004), Valley View Division 6 (three phases, 2006–2010, replatted in part in 2025), and Valley View Townhomes Phase 1 (2007) — ten recorded plats on Rexburg’s southeast bench. They share the Valley View name and the same hillside, but covenants and lot character differ by division, which is why this guide treats them branch by branch.

Where is Valley View in Rexburg?

Southeast Rexburg, on the bench the old plats call Rexburg Heights — streets include Valley View Drive, Rolling Hills Drive, Pleasant View, Franklin Drive, Fairview Avenue, Meadowview Avenue, Morningside Drive, Horizon Drive, and Westwood Circle, reaching the Poleline Road corridor. All plats are inside Rexburg city limits except the original 1973 Estates division, which recorded under county jurisdiction.

Is Valley View the same as Neville Valley View?

No. Neville Valley View Addition is a separate subdivision platted in 1971 (amended 1976) with about 20 parcels and homes built 1970–1989. It shows up in the same county searches because of the shared words, but its records and any covenants are its own. This guide covers the Valley View Estates / Division 6 / Townhomes family only.

Does Valley View have an HOA with dues?

Not according to anything this guide could verify. The recorded covenants actually read for Division 6 Phase 1 and Division 4 set up an Architectural Control Committee and owner voting — not a homeowners association, and no assessments. A statewide Idaho Secretary of State search found no registered association matching this subdivision (same-named entities elsewhere in Idaho were ruled out by address). One open question is who manages the townhome phase’s common area — verify association status and any fees through the title company’s documents for the specific lot before an offer.

What do Valley View’s covenants require?

It depends on the division — and that is the key thing to know here. Division 6 Phase 1 (recorded 2006, amended by a two-thirds owner vote effective January 2025): minimum 2,100 sq ft ground floor for a single story, at least a two-car attached garage (carports expressly not acceptable), stick-built only, no metal or vinyl siding, no flat roofs, and no basement apartments or separate rental units within a home. Division 4 (recorded 2000): minimum 2,000 sq ft single-story, 1,800/2,800 for multi-story. For the older Estates divisions and the townhomes, no subdivision-wide declaration surfaced in the county index under the subdivision’s name — which declaration, if any, governs a specific lot there is a title question, not something this page will guess.

What do homes in Valley View cost?

Idaho is a non-disclosure state — sale prices are not public record — so this page does not quote sold prices it cannot verify. County assessed values (August 2026, taxation numbers, not market prices) tell the branch story: the original Estates ran about $387,000–$910,000; Divisions 4 and 5 ran roughly $703,000 up to $1.36 million — among the highest in the city; Division 6 ran about $506,000–$1.04 million; the two townhomes assessed around $421,000–$426,000. Zillow’s modeled typical value for Rexburg overall was $433,148 in July 2026 (an estimate, not a sale record).

Is Valley View still being built?

The newest corner is. Division 6 Phase 3 recorded in 2010, was re-platted in December 2025, and its five parcels are still vacant; the newest home in the family carries a 2025 year built, and Division 6 owners recorded covenant amendments in 2025. The Estates side has been settled for decades — homes there date mostly to the 1970s–1990s.

Is Valley View in a flood zone?

No FEMA flood feature intersects the family’s recorded plat footprints in the county GIS flood layer as of August 2026 — it is a bench (hillside) location. A per-property flood determination at purchase is still standard, inexpensive practice.
