| Hi! Family and I are relocating to N Idaho from Montana. My husband will be working in Spokane but prefer to alive in Idaho. Nosotros drove through Rathdrum a bit and loved the mount small boondocks feel. We take ii immature kids and heard they accept the best schools? How is the crime? Is it a safe community? We love the idea of being in a smaller beautiful community that takes pride in their urban center/homes. How are the neighborhoods? Do people more often than not accept care of their properties? Lastly, are there any areas to avoid living in? Tried searching on this and didn't find too much on these questions. Hopefully someone can give me some insight |

| There is a very decorated rail line that runs right along the highway. If you don't similar train noise, you might want to exist back a bit from the highway. Rathdrum is a very big area, but the lilliputian hamlet itself has a overnice footling eating place and some shopping, so you tin get what y'all need for day to mean solar day. Information technology has a rural unhurried feel to information technology, in a good fashion. Some of the properties take wonderful views. In that location is a nice little lake for boating and fishing just above there and I've seen some practiced real estate listings on that lake If you are in the role of Rathdrum almost the village, it isn't such a bad commute to Spokane for piece of work or shopping. Plus it isn't as well bad a drive to go to Coeur D'Alene for social stuff and more shopping. |

| Besides, this is my personal opinion, merely there are some very nice areas with bonny homes on dirt roads. Myself, I don't want to alive on a dirt road where information technology snows. Plenty of paved roads where you accept a improve take a chance that they will be plowed. You are from Montana, so you probably already know that. |

Myself, I don't want to live on a dirt road where it snows. Enough of paved roads where you have a better chance that they will be plowed. You are from Montana, then you probably already know that. On our drive to Sandpoint we take a brusk distance on a paved private road, 2 miles on a county maintained clay road, and then 9 miles on a paved road (Sagle Rd. for those familiar with the area) to 95. The 2 miles of county maintained dirt road is consistently the best office of the drive during winter. There are probably several factors that bulldoze that, but I think my suggestion would be to wait at those factors rather than merely dirt vs. pavement. I call up those factors include things similar: 1. Being on a school bus route - There is a charabanc stop at the terminate of the county maintained dirt road, which means it gets plowed early and sanded frequently. ii. Individual vs. county maintained - Our individual road gets plowed regularly, but rarely gets sanded due to the cost of bringing in someone to do that. That said, of the iii roads we drive our individual route is always the last of the three to run into a plough in wintertime. We have less than a mile to travel on that route, and drive loftier clearance AWD/4WD vehicles, so information technology wasn't ever a problem this past wintertime. three. Orientation and tree cover - In our case the dirt road runs north/south, and has several spots with wide open fields on one side or the other, and then it gets a off-white amount of sunday during winter. Our private road runs east/west, and is heavily lined with trees. Relative to the road surface the lord's day is below the tree line all winter, so it gets no dominicus during winter. The 9 miles of paved road is mixed - some trees, some fields, some moderately steep parts. As a result, there are usually certain sections of the road that are consistently slick in wintertime and others that are non so bad. In terms of living on or near a dirt road, I'd advise not dealing with the dust in summer would exist a better reason to avoid the clay. We are far enough from the dirt road that information technology doesn't affect us at our house, simply our cars are pretty much always dingy. Dave |

| Another random question regarding postal service falls...driving through the neighborhood near the river, information technology'due south beautiful. Nice houses on established streets. HOWEVER, I notice nearly of the houses have security doors. Growing up in Southern California this is a huge red flag for me. I've heard post falls is a safety community but it makes me nervous seeing a lot of security doors on nice homes. After living in Montana for the past few years I take been accustomed to non seeing those so it was a lilliputian shocking. Is crime high in Mail Falls? |

At half the population of Hayden, I can foresee within a decade or so having a population every bit large equally Hayden, if not larger.

Far enough abroad from the circus that it'southward pretty tranquility; but close enough for those times when I want some action and excitement. . |

At half the population of Hayden, I can foresee inside a decade or and so having a population as large as Hayden, if not larger. The population growth is to the east and due south, encroaching on the prairie. The fastest route to Spokane is south on the 41 to the motorway, then west. Be advised that starting soon, the 41 will exist expanded iv lanes, two northbound and two southbound. Construction will get-go at the south end and work its way due north. Expect the commute from hell during construction. I take heard this too, merely not having school-anile children, I really couldn't say. As with almost of Due north Idaho, Rathdrum is safe. You tin can detect crime statistics on the data side of C-D. Some neighborhoods are nice, some non so prissy. Yeah, generally people take intendance of their backdrop. Google street view is useful for looking at neighborhoods. I wouldn't exist comfortable living near the railroad train tracks. Anywhere else is fine. I like to sleep with my sleeping room windows open, and I tin can hear the trains, even though I'yard non very shut to them. I'yard at the south finish of town, but there are a lot of trees and a few buildings betwixt me and the tracks. Plenty to muffle the audio most of the time. I'm glad I chose Rathdrum for my retirement home. So far, I like it. Far plenty away from the circus that it's pretty quiet; merely close enough for those times when I want some activity and excitement. . Thank y'all for the info! |

I've heard mail falls is a safe community just it makes me nervous seeing a lot of security doors on nice homes. After living in Montana for the past few years I take been accustomed to not seeing those so it was a piffling shocking. Is criminal offense loftier in Mail service Falls? Probably the reason for the security doors is two-fold. A lot of homes are seasonal and don't have anyone in them for months at a time. Also, a lot of one-time Californians live in the area, and they're used to having security doors and perchance don't experience safe without them. My parents put a security door on their business firm later on leaving California... and they live in a town where nobody locks their doors! |

| And to answer your question, Rathdrum is pretty safe. I live in the south part of boondocks in the newer housing developments. Rathdrum has a lot of growth and new homes beingness built, and rumor has it a new high school is coming. The schools are virtually the best in the country and highly rated on the national scale. Inside of the "downtown" area, in that location are some run-down houses and a large trailer park. Merely I'd now say the overwhelming majority of homes in Rathdrum are less than 20 years erstwhile and well-kept. |

| The identify I'm looking for a semi retirement living ideally won't accept much in the mode of a significant school organization. With those comes higher taxes. I'chiliad blimp with them in Table salt Lake area now and want OUT of that scenario. It's just nuts. year after yr another new school needs to be built because they breed kids around here similar popcorn at the movie house. |
