Small Coeur d'Alene neighborhood ripe with opportunity
Fruitland is a small residential neighborhood tucked into the corner of major intersections U.S. Route 95 and Interstate 90, but some locals think it could be the next big thing in Coeur d’Alene. “It’s an area that’s going to see increased demand because of its proximity to the highway, the hospital and all the shopping,” says Barbara Yeager, an associate broker with Keller Williams Realty Coeur d’Alene, who has sold homes in the neighborhood. “It’s a convenient location and a little bit of a sleeper neighborhood, to be honest.” Thanks to its location and more affordable housing prices than nearby neighborhoods, Fruitland is a top destination for first-time homebuyers in Coeur d’Alene.
The main Kootenai Health campus is located in Coeur d'Alene, which includes a 330-bed hospital.
The KROC Center was designed as a house of education, sports, faith, arts and more.

Modestly priced single-family and manufactured homes
Fruitland has a mix of housing styles throughout the community. “You have starter homes that were built in the 1980s and ‘90s,” says Yeager. “Not a lot comes up for sale in here. It’s a small area, but I do think it’s an area people should look at if something becomes available.” Single-family homes in the neighborhood are mostly centered around Fruitland Lane or Ryan Street and include ranch-style houses, cottages and Cape Cods. These typically cost between $350,00 and $470,000. There are manufactured homes in the area, but Yeager says homeowners own the land these homes are on, unlike other locations where residents only own the building and rent the lot. These often cost between $150,000 and $250,000.
The area around Fruitland mainly consists of single-family homes and ranch-style properties.
Fruitland itself has limited commercial activity, so most residents head into Coeur d'Alene.
