I loved Sandpoint! So beautiful.

[@paulahilson9909]

I love Sandpoint, but everything north of Sandpoint is beautiful, okay everything south in Idaho isn’t bad either. We started thinking we wanted to live in Hayden but went to Bonners Ferry for a day trip fell in love and bought a house in Naples Idaho and absolutely love it.

[@imkwuzn]

I have family in Sandpoint and lived there many years ago. It truly is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. Not the best place to earn a living but a wonderful place to live if you can afford it.

[@teamground0229]

Nothing against Sandpoint, but I love Stanley ID myself, but not much of a town. Sawtooths are amazing.

[@x420xmarijaunanaut]

if you take that route east from Sandpoint into Montana, right after clark fork you'll find a random junkyard on the side of the highway with nothing but 1930s and 1940s vehicles it's so awesome

[@wrigman]

We live in Hope, we LOVE IT! Sandpoint with its larger population it is nicer than down south. The biggest plus is that WE can eat the fish out of the lake. There was not the mining here so the Mercury is not here in the lake or fish. The work is not as abundant here, but I have found a job that pays about half or what of what I made down south. I have a mountain going up my back yard. I have bear poop in my front yard in the spring and summer. Trusstle creek runs through my neighbors back yards. Deer, elk and mountain lions run around here. I don’t go out in my yard without a side arm. I retired here ( my work is VERY part time). We will live out our days at this house. But, a word of warning……….. we’re full here!😅😅😅😅

[@LivingLifeNorthIdaho]

Sounds like heaven! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@benrichards9667]

There ain't shit in hope, id. Zero jobs people. Winters are a bitch. Yall don't tell the truth. Idaho pays lowest min wage around. Navy does sub testing in that lake. Fricken cold af. 95 from SP to CDA is a shit show

[@SAHAMH123]

I have seen deer and moose inside the Coeur d'Alene city limits.

[@cojaxart8986]

I grew up in Spokane, and left in 1974. I moved my family back to Spokane to take care of mom in 1992. One of the fist things we did as a young family was take a trip up to Sandpoint. All three kids loved it! We swam at the beach all afternoon and then explored restaurants for dinner. We moved away shortly after that trip because of work, and I miss it dearly! It’s such a gorgeous place through all 4 seasons… I just love it there. So many trees! So many places to fish! So many scenic spots! Retiring soon and hope to be back up there very soon!

[@TheJoejeppesen]

I was born there in 1952, lived in Naples till I went into the Army in 69.

[@nickfalzone8049]

You should do a video on midtown in coeur d'alene, trader joes is opening there.

[@anthonyoram7614]

I think McCall is the prettiest town in Idaho. I love Sandpoint though I had a great time there.

[@kennethewing6362]

I kind of thought Sandpoint would be your choice here. I grew up there and will be returning there. I agree with everything you said and would add a few more amenities to your list: 1) Restaurants. There are lots of quality restaurants in town plus a short drive to Hope gives you a few more high-end choices. 2) In the summer, weekly farmers market and (right across the street) a small pod of food carts. 3) Hiking trails. Notable is the Mickinnick Trail right on the edge of Sandpoint (trail is 3.5 miles one-way, medium difficulty, and ends at a vast overlook of Sandpoint and the lake).

[@jenniferandrew3373]

Sandpoint is, indeed, gorgeous. However, my vote for prettiest town in Idaho is Stanley. That view of the Sawtooths cannot be beat.

[@LivingLifeNorthIdaho]

Absolutely, Stanley has a very special place in my heart, hence why I haven’t blasted it to the world on my channel. But with the ski resort, lake, and downtown, Sandpoint is number 1 for me.

[@RobertSteele-hy3du]

I came to Sandpoint in the mid 60's, it was a very nice place to live then and up through the mid 90's. But since roughly 2010 it has been getting not so nice, and especially since 2020 it has gotten ugly with all the people and the not so friendly attitudes that have come with all the people. The city planners, influenced by Boise, created an absolute mess for driving around Sandpoint. The roads and traffic lights are not capable of handling the amount of traffic that has descend upon the small town. For the most part the long time residents are starting to leave, or are not happy anymore if they can't leave, because things have changed so much. Yes it's beautiful here, but not at all what it used to be, because the small quiet town has been inundated by way too many residents that came from ugly cities. And probably the most undesirable part of Sandpoint now is that there are almost no places to earn a living that can facilitate living here.

[@MrsRepairTech]

I agree, Sandpoint is gorgeous! The first time we did a day trip from Post Falls (lived in North Idaho my whole life, Post Falls nearly 25 years), my first thought was, "Why haven't we done this before?!" And, "We need to do this often!" I think we'd just never had a need to venture farther north than Cocolalla.

[@gmariet1391]

Thanks for the great tour !

[@Joehoops33]

Agree 100%

[@lifeisawesome2024]

Have you ever done a video on Priest Lake? What is it like in that area?

[@elainekenny9341]

Love this video. Love all of your videos. Ignore the those who don't know how to just scroll past posts they don't agree with.

A chair lift that carries 6 skiers/riders is called a "Six Pack". Nice video

[@LivingLifeNorthIdaho]

LOL, I should have guessed that. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@cyndisgreenoasis6571]

Saint Maries is the best town in Idaho

[@LivingLifeNorthIdaho]

Oooh, I’m interested in why you think that? @cyndisgreenoasis6571

[@cyndisgreenoasis6571]

I have lived here my whole life. It’s God‘s country truly beautiful lots of wilderness surrounded by water one of the most beautiful valleys I’ve ever seen and not crowded by a lot of people remote can do all the things that you said about Sandpoint as far as skiing boating hunting, swimming just home

[@shawnstandiford6008]

Not even close. If you like stinky water

One other industry in Sandpoint: Kodiak aircraft (located at the airport) builds airplanes.

[@LivingLifeNorthIdaho]

That’s right! I forgot about them. They build amazing aircraft.

[@laurawells3132]

I didn’t know Thorne was based in Idaho! That is so cool!

[@SAHAMH123]

Thorne left Sandpoint quite a few years ago.

it that Base🌲Camp the development by Williams Homes?

[@debbilermond1553]

I LOVE Thorne supplements! 😁 Sandpoint is a beautiful area.

[@gerryged.1892]

Perhaps someone else has asked already, but where is Lake Pend Oreille 1700 feet deep? Max depth should be 1150 however, it’s still the fifth deepest in the US.

[@SAHAMH123]

I was wondering the same thing. I have never heard of read anything that said that Lake Pend Oreille is 1,700 feet deep

[@Donaldperson7]

You have farming communities or track homes! I don’t want to be around track homes! I wasn’t farms on both sides of me and or state and federal land in my back land! Does it have Sturgeon?

[@LivingLifeNorthIdaho]

That’s definitely doable. And yes, three places that offer sturgeon fishing here in Idaho.

[@SR-se3qw]

You call it a six pack. I believe Alterra bought Schweitzer not Vail Resorts. Nice video.

[@SAHAMH123]

Sandpoint used to be a beautiful little town. They have ruined it by building ugly condos in town and ruined a beautiful park with a really ugly building. It's becoming way over crowded. It's losing it's quaintness. At least the scenery is still beautiful.

[@flexk9996]

Thank you Trent for the great video and information. I do have a question that the video did not cover, we love Sandpoint, but we’re informed that local politics is beginning to lean towards a liberal mindset. Trent, please let me know if this is a bad rumor or is there some truth to it? Thank you.

[@kennethewing6362]

I'm from Sandpoint. Yes, Sandpoint has taken a "blue turn" in politics. However, a local resident told me that recently when the city council wanted to make Sandpoint a sanctuary city and had a town meeting to discuss it, the local residents made it manifestly clear that they did not want this and the resolution didn't pass.

[@kennethewing6362]

Add: So, as yet, it's not a complete shift by any means.

[@flexk9996]

We have our fingers crossed that never happens in Idaho, we’ve all seen very clearly what that political mindset damages, and I pray 🙏🏼 that Idahoans hold steadfast to their values and views that make Idaho one of the greatest states in the Nation. ❤️

[@SAHAMH123]

It's very much the truth.

[@pdxmtngoat]

Sandpoint. It's The New Lake Tahoe, Idaho. Just kidding. Priest Lake is nicer.

[@amywest3215]

Why doesn’t anyone mention Diedrich Roasters? Company was founded here in the 1980s and manufactures coffee roasters that are sold worldwide.

[@SAHAMH123]

I also didn't hear him say anything about Lighthouse Dressing, one of the biggest employers here in Sandpoint.

[@SidAlpha]

It's beautiful, yes. But it's also the most expensive place to live in the state.

[@Donaldperson7]

You have farming communities or track homes! I don’t want to be around track homes! I wasn’t farms on both sides of me and or state and federal land in my back land!

[@LivingLifeNorthIdaho]

Absolutely!

[@carolynaskew9774]

There's a huge store there called North 40 which is even better, IMO

[@robertmueller2023]

Is this where Instagram was founded? That's the rumor I heard.

[@shawnm2405]

Where the Polish delis at?

[@Baldurdash]

Little known fact: most people who move to Sandpoint will flee after 2 or 3 winters. Oh certainly, it's pretty, but if you don't really enjoy getting buried in snow for 8 months and living with life threatening cold then you best look elsewhere.

[@SAHAMH123]

Lol, the winters aren't that bad.

[@carolynaskew9774]

Did exactly that😊, and we were no strangers to snow. Yes, pretty area but so glad to be out of there. Winters are dark and long, and if you don't love winter sports, you'll hate it

[@lakemoonlight4697]

The actual city of Sandpoint cannot geographically grow anymore. This realtor isn't telling you the boundaries and planning issues, the water issues, the limited public access to the lake and Priest river, or the number of perpetual trains. South of the Long Bridge is the community of Sagle, west is the city of Dover and north is the city of Ponderay - each touching the boundaries of Sandpoint. Litehouse dressing is the only large corporation within the city limits of Sandpoint. There's a SuperOne Foods and Safeway in Sandpoint, a Home Depot and large Walmart in Ponderay. Costco is a 40 minute to 1.5 hour drive to Coeur d'Alene. The most beautiful city in Idaho? That's a personal opinion and many Idaho residents would disagree. FYI - a paid tram ride will take you to the top of Schweitzer Mountain to get the view in the beginning of this video. And the deer pictured . . . not very healthy looking from my decades of watching wildlife. This message is from a former northern Idaho and Wyoming resident.

[@SAHAMH123]

Definitely has a lot of downfalls to it. I personally think Sandpoint is being ruined.

[@HoocH1130]

Holy Cow! Average home price is 600k?! Your channel obviously caters to a different segment of society. Is there anything for normal Americans who average 100k annual income?
