IHS: Innovative Home Building with Accessory Dwelling Units in Boise
IHS is more than just a home builder — they are a dedicated partner in navigating the intricate world of residential construction. With years of industry experience and a deep understanding of local markets, their team of passionate professionals works to match each client's needs to their ideal home. Their commitment to excellence and personalized service sets them apart in the Boise area.
During their 2024–2025 build cycle, IHS took a bold step away from traditional single-family home construction and introduced a new product to the Boise market. The result was Darlington Place, a pocket neighborhood located off McMillan Road, where they built six small single-family homes — each featuring a fully equipped basement Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
A Pocket Neighborhood Built Around ADU Living
Darlington Place represents a significant milestone for IHS and for the Boise housing market. By incorporating basement ADUs into each of the six homes in this compact community, they introduced several new innovations that had not previously been seen in the local market.
As an experienced ADU builder, IHS demonstrated that accessory dwelling units can be seamlessly integrated into thoughtfully designed residential communities. These basement units offer flexible living arrangements — whether used as an in-law suite, a rental unit, or additional living space for extended family members.
What makes this development particularly noteworthy is the combination of community-oriented design with practical, multi-generational housing solutions. Each home in Darlington Place benefits from the added value and versatility that a built-in accessory dwelling unit provides.
