Small city near Coeur d'Alene with abundant natural recreation
Just north of Coeur d’Alene in the North Idaho panhandle, Hayden is a quiet suburban city with easy access to all of the outdoor recreation the region has to offer. “We have two ski resorts nearby. I think there are somewhere around 70 lakes in North Idaho, the main ones being Coeur d’Alene, Hayden and Pend Oreille,” says Desiree Jones, a Realtor with eXp Realty and longtime North Idaho resident. “There’s just so much to do. We have ice fishing in the winter and regular fishing in the summer. There’s lots of hunting and hiking trails.” Home to around 16,000 people, Hayden offers a comparable housing market to nearby Coeur d’Alene but with fewer crowds. Subdivisions are transforming the rural landscape, with new construction homes butting up against lakes, hills and golf courses. Plus, with U.S. Route 95 running through the middle of the city, it’s easy to commute around North Idaho for work or play.
