Neighborhood in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Established and modern homes in shady Sanders Beach
Sanders Beach is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Coeur d'Alene, and buyers can find homes from the early 20th century. Most of the established houses in the neighborhood are cottages and Craftsman homes, many of which have been renovated with modern appliances and updated siding and roofs. Other common housing styles include Colonial Revivals and a few examples of modern contemporary architecture scattered throughout the neighborhood. Despite its location near Downtown Coeur d'Alene, the neighborhood has a natural feel, with mature pine trees towering over the streets and a somewhat hilly landscape. Homes along Lakeshore Drive are among the largest in the neighborhood, and most of them include a section of private beachfront that sits across the road from the house. Buyers should expect to pay between $500,000 and $800,000 for a home under 2,000 square feet. Houses with more than 2,000 square feet can cost between $900,000 and $1.5 million.City parks to relax on the beach or hike through the forest
Water sports are the main activity in Sanders Beach during the summer, whether it's relaxing on the beach or setting off for a paddle around the lake. The section of shoreline between 12th Street and 15th Street is privately owned by homeowners, leaving two public access points on either side of this strip. The public beach on the west side features mature trees, offering a shady spot to relax by the water. The east beach is more open, making it ideal for beachgoers looking to catch some rays. Residents should plan on heading to the beach early, as it fills up on warm summer days. Tubbs Hill is a 165-acre natural area just west of the neighborhood, with a trailhead on 10th Street. This park features several hiking trails, including a 2-mile trail that follows the park's perimeter and takes hikers along the jagged shoreline. The high cliffs on the west side of Tubbs Hill are frequently full of thrill seekers jumping into the lake on summer evenings. The 23-mile North Idaho Centennial Trail passes through the neighborhood on Mullan Avenue, offering a trail for running, walking or biking through the city.Conveniently located Coeur d'Alene schools
Students in Sanders Beach might attend Fernan STEM Academy and Lakes Middle School, each rated a B by Niche and conveniently located just north of the neighborhood. Lake City High School also gets a B and has approximately 1,500 students. The school offers dual credit courses through the University of Idaho and North Idaho College, as well as student clubs like bowling, chess and skiing.Resort-style amenities in a residential neighborhood
The Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course is just east of Sanders Beach and is known for its Floating Green on the 14th hole. The 2,200-ton green can change position thanks to an underwater cable system and is typically between 140 and 170 yards from the tee. A small boat known as Putter ferries golfers to and from the green. While the 14th hole is the most famous, the entire par-71 course is a challenging and memorable experience that features lake views from nearly every hole. While lake activities like boating are popular in the neighborhood, private docks are not allowed in the area. “There are no docks allowed, so it’s preserved the eclectic feel, which can also be a detriment if you want a dock. There is a private marina where you can buy a boat slip. It’s called the 11th Street Marina. So a lot of people down there will just buy a boat slip,” says Walker.Public transit and major highways minutes from Sanders Beach
