North Prairie
Contemporary 21st-century homes
North Prairie has a few homes from the 20th century, which are mostly ranch-style and split-level houses. Most homes in the neighborhood have been built since 2000 and are new traditional and contemporary Craftsman styles, often with wooden beams on the exterior. Built-in garages are common, and most subdivisions have sidewalks that offer walkability through the community. Although the neighborhood is suburban, most properties are large enough for a shed or workshop in the backyard. The Meadows subdivision features the largest properties in the area, with mature trees and tall pines lining the streets. Houses under 2,500 square feet typically cost between $400,000 and $700,000. Larger homes in the neighborhood can cost between $600,000 and $1.2 million.City parks and rural lakes
Several parks in the neighborhood offer plenty of room for recreation. Syringa Park is a 7-acre green space with a playground and splash pad for kids. The park also has basketball and volleyball courts and walking trails. Park in the Meadows has a pickleball court in addition to a basketball court. The park also has a playground and a trail system with multiple loops. Golfers can tee off at The Club at Prairie Falls, a par-69 golf course that offers daily rates and season passes. The course also has six golf simulators for those not ready to take their game to the course. About 5.5 miles northwest of the neighborhood, residents can enjoy time on the water at Hauser Lake. A park on the lake’s southern shore has a dedicated swimming area and a boat launch for a day of paddling or motorboating on the lake.Local restaurants in and around North Prairie
North Prairie has little commercial activity, but some businesses have moved in. “The addition of the new restaurant, hotel and shops at the golf course has been a nice addition to the community. They have the option there for events and 16 hotel rooms. It’s nice because there aren’t really any restaurants in the neighborhood,” says Saunders. Iron, Wood & Ice is the restaurant at the Club at Prairie Falls, serving bar food and cocktails in a setting overlooking the course. Anchored is a coffee shop and bakery in the area known for its scones and bagels. Further south in Post Falls, Konala is a fast-food spot serving protein bowls and smoothies. Groceries are available at Yoke’s Fresh Market or Super 1 Foods. There is also a Walmart on Mullan Avenue.Highly rated Post Falls schools
Students in North Prairie might attend Mullan Trail Elementary School, Post Falls Middle School and Post Falls High School, all of which receive a B rating from Niche.

Getting around North Idaho is easy from North Prairie, with Interstate 90 south of the neighborhood and Highway 41 to the east. The neighborhood's location makes commuting simple. “I see a lot of people who work over in Spokane, and this offers an easier commute. They can jump on the freeway or hop on 53 and travel over to Spokane,” says Emily Ellis, a real estate professional with Tomlinson Sotheby’s International Realty. Highway 53 is just west of the neighborhood and offers an alternate route for the 25-mile drive west to Spokane. Two bus stops on Poleline Avenue offer access to the B route of the Citylink bus, taking riders south through Post Falls and east to Coeur d’Alene. Northwest Specialty Hospital is the closest hospital to the neighborhood, about 3 miles away.
