I live on a short acre of property abutting the Conway Drain. Notus has been here since the 20's. It is a small farming community that has turned into a bedroom community for Caldwell, Nampa and Boise. It is a pretty quiet little town, just a little town kind of in the middle of farmland, and there is now not much in the way of stores or shopping, but there are stores either side of us in Parma and Caldwell within 10 miles each way. . Suggested Local Attractions: Notus has a small museum that is open mostly at 4th of July and Memorial Weekend, and there is a small store run by a local family right across the road. They are only open a few days a week, but have lots of hand made items and memorabilia to sell. Caldwell is near and has many events through the year as well as a historic downtown area and beautiful renovation of the Indian Creek area. There are many farms, and south of here are many vineyards with stores. Orchards and farms are all around here, and there is also Boise about 35 miles west of here with lots of stuff to do. There is a great military museum in Nampa about 18 miles away with great shopping as well.
