Don't move here if you are afraid or offended by guns and seeing people openly carrying. Live and let live means don't shove your liberal views in our face or use them to change the environment here, go to Spokane for that. Also winter is basically late October to May. Don't be surprised to see snow in the Summer too. Summer is basically July to August. Fall is Sept to mid October. Love the sun then don't move here either, we have way more cloudy days through the year. Fire season in August is awesome as we get fire smoke from our area and the entire country. Locals have little use of town amenities due to tourists (Spokane) invading.

Yes, we are a very into our hunting, fishing and guns, so do not move here and glare or make snooty comments about me because I open carry. Don't like it? Leave.
It's videos like this that has ruined our little town; contributing to the traffic our roads are not equipped to handle and exploding our real estate market to the point that people from here cannot afford to live here. Rents are through the roof and minimum wage is still around $7.25 an hour.
This is frustrating...

I’m even more excited about moving my family to Idaho ❤ Thank you so much for your inspirational to me video of your pros and cons in Coeur d’Alene Idaho. This means allot to me and my little family as we need a stable safe community and town to call home 😊

[ivanacolburn]

Beautiful presentation. I’m originally from lake como, Italy. I have been living in Palm desert California for 27 years and things are changing so fast there! Unfortunately not for good.
We will visit Coeur d’Alene very soon, I love the small community idea and above all I love nature.

[lisamccumber]

I've lived here for 26 years, it used to be a wonderful, small town, place. No longer. Overcrowded and overpriced now. Public friendliness is gone, and traffic accidents are frequent, just to name a couple of heartbreaking changes. For all thinking of moving up here, keep in mind the housing and rent prices are very high. Average wages do not support the cost of living, do your homework.

I remember the the CD'A BEFORE Haggedon got ahold of it. Even sadder I remember the prettier farther northern lake Priest Lake before the God awful people with more money than sense started building their lake mansions. I really wish Seattleites and Californians had never discovered the panhandle. Now we live in N.Central Idaho. Thank God we are so remote no one really wants to live here. Cda is not the same. Sandpoint and Priest lake have all been taken over by the rich. Sad.

Love this Guy and this is my first time in this channel, but I love how Well he Covered many Aspects of Daily Living in CDA.

[ryanfarmer]

Silver Valley just outside CDA is beautiful and affordable, next big boom going that way but still very reasonable, skiing and kayaking, UTV, fishing, hunting, hiking, mount biking is endless. Pinehurst, Wallace, Kellogg all great areas to live

The blue achids were early fall like September or early October. I remember they were still there the day my husband and I went on a cruise together. I just looked that up, it was 10/15 and it was the end of the aphids season.

Restaurants- my husband and I like Bardenay, Dockside (closed for a month) and Wolf lodge. Texas Roadhouse is a chain, but they are great and always have an insane line even during the week. Ive lived here a little over 5 months and I've only seen one homeless person. I moved here from New York City.
I grew up in Buffalo so I was prepared for the winter. I just expected what I grew up with and it's been tame lol. Meanwhile, my co-workers (some even grew up here) "I thought we were done. Why is it SNOWING???" (about Monday night). The only thing I will say is that in the winter you can really only bike the bike trails and no bike lanes. I'm lucky that I live by Prairie Trail and work downtown. We have AWD and studded tires.
CdA isn't that affordable. We are in a roommate situation where my husband has been for 10 years. Their landlord hasn't raised the rent much, but we were looking at getting our own place and we'd have to pay more than what the rent is here (with the landlord, not our cut) for a much smaller place.

Love the low key "shut up about the traffic, locals.. you've never been anywhere." 🙄

[zakthedemonlord]

I would absolutely love to live in Coeur d'Alene. It's like, the same state, but better (I'm from Twin Falls btw). Y'all've got trees up the wazoo, it's way up north so it's gotta be cooler and colder, the architecture and food choice looks better, the proximity to actually important places is phenomenal, I bet y'all could see glimpses of the aurora borealis at times in the winter, etc etc.

If you are on medication, please make arrangements with your md before you move to have 6 months of refills because it can take 6 to 9 months to get into an md. Urgent care and ER will not refill all meds and wait times in the ER can be 8 to 12 hours and urgent care can have wait times up to three hours at times. We dont have enough healthcare professionals to care for the population here let alone the ones moving in and we are having difficulty recruiting more due to high cost of living. Good luck and please plan accordingly. We've been discovered and we are having major issues due to growth. You all have been warned. I'm sorry Trent. I like you and I know I am not helping sales for you. I'm just being honest.

Cons... Definelty not the roads. MY private road with 5 other owners is far better than all the frwys, hwys, and roads in all of CA. IDHAO LIFE IS BETTER than all the states combined. YES, LIFE HERE is more $$$ MEANS YOU Must BE PREPARED. Don't mess around in Idaho. That's why it's better here. PERIOD. Great video. GREAT PLACE TO LIVE. CHANGE IN INEVITABLE.

I have had an amazing dinner at the Cedars years ago on the 4th of July, what a treat!

[dansilva]

The crime rate is low because up here in northern Idaho we are very pro gun and thousands and thousands of people concealed carry their firearms so you do not know who is armed and who is not, that a lot of criminal activity

[jvowell]

I’m from the deep south and this is my dream city to retire to.

[sulusu]

Anywhere there's snow, pine trees & water my heart is there. Now- just need to figure out how to move there.

[erico]

Don't apologize for bad-behaving cops.

[ScorpiochickNM]

We moved to Coeur d"Alene 10 years ago from Albuquerque and love it because it's beautiful and smaller. You might have the added cost of purchasing a snowblower because we get a lot of snow sometimes and having to shovel a 3 car driveway is too hard when it's heavy snow. We live in a neighborhood that has natural tall pines and it has the feel of living in the mountains in town. Being from Albuquerque, we don't mind the cloudiness, it seems we've had enough sun lol. Your videos are spot on and are very informative.
