Coeur d’Alene is a popular resort destination in Idaho’s Panhandle, located along the northern tip of its namesake 25-mile glacial lake. Established in 1878 as a U.S. Army outpost, the city has evolved into a vibrant hub known for its scenic waterfront and the iconic Coeur d’Alene Resort, whose golf course features the world’s only floating, movable green. Tubbs Hill, a 165-acre nature preserve with lakeside hiking trails, sits beside downtown and Sherman Avenue’s boutiques, galleries, and restaurants. Seasonal recreation includes boating, swimming, skiing at nearby mountain resorts, and nationally recognized holiday light displays along the waterfront. North Idaho College, set on the grounds of the historic fort, adds to the city’s character. Interstate 90 connects the city to Spokane, about 35 miles west, and to the Silver Valley to the east. Coeur d’Alene blends mountain heritage with lakeside beauty and an active downtown. You can explore more through Coeur d’Alene real estate.
