    Hey Trent! you finally did my town. I live in the trees up in the mountain part of Rathdrum and Absolutely love it. The first thing I noticed moving here was how nice and helpful everyone has been. My Son loves the local high school as well. I started watching your Vids after we started building our new home or We surely would have used you as our realtor. We love the location for sure. It’s about the same drive time to Coeur d’Alene as it is Spokane and also quick to Schweitzer to go skiing or fishing Sand Point area. The one thing you didn’t mention is the snow hangs around a bit longer in the mountain side of Rathdrum above the railroad and you also hear the trains at times but well worth being in such a great place and Community. Still want to buy you lunch some day!

    I knew I'd find a video from you on rathdrum lol. This is where I'm hoping to move to whenever I get my 2 houses in Florida sold. My aunt and uncle live off of twin lakes. Also, it's kinda fitting to move over hear the Lakeland school since I live in Lakeland fl 🤣. Anyway, love your videos. Really mentally preparing me for what to expect living in north Idaho! Keep'em coming G dog!

    I can't speak for Rathdrum now. Its grown a lot since I lived there in late 90s early 2000s. My son went through 6-12 in Lakeland schools there. They are some of the best in North Idaho. Its a great family community! Wonderful people.

    We have some events that go on throughout the year.
    Rathdrum Days: it's a 3 day event of a parade BBQ and much more. It takes place in July.
    Truck or Treat: your average Trunk or treat exspirence quite small but really enjoyable.
    Tree lighting + more: oh yes the tree lighting. A beautiful tree lit up in downtown Rathdrum. Hot chocolate fires and after the fact book yourself a horse sleigh ride around downtown. Around 8:00 pm a car parade of decorated cars will drive all through town.
    Ball drop: on New Years Rathdrum puts on a Ball drop. Each year around 9:00 pm head downtown to enjoy that.
    4th of July: not really an event but it's one of the best nights you will ever have. I do recommend wearing some formal of ear protection though.
    Hope this helps!!! ♡♡

    Hi Trent!! Watched and thumbed up 3 of your videos. But I'm not here to learn about moving to Idaho. I'm trying to understand because what is happening to your state has happened to my state in Northern New England. I retired here almost twenty years ago. Yeah, I'm an old guy. I live in a town which inhabits about 35 square miles with a population of 2500 people. My domicile is in a hamlet so there are even less people where I actually live. After growing up and living in a borough of New York City for most of my life, my slow trek north brought me to where I am today. I've never looked back or had any regrets. Joining a local church immediately after moving here resulted in many friendships. Unfortunately, being in my eighth decade, there has been a great loss of some friends. But I persevere because I have embraced the land, the weather, the culture and most importantly, the people. My state is changing but I took no active part in that other than relocating here. I never wanted it to morph into some aspiration of "big city life." I hear you Trent, loud and clear. Chuck in Northern New England

    I live in a big city and don't really enjoy going out anyways, I'll be good if there is no big things to do. We usually do our own thing at home here, we have a theatre screen that we put up in our backyard and have a fire pit that we like to use plus an arcade that we play with now and then, I think we'll be good. I am also a chef so I just might end up bringing a new spot into town for locals to enjoy.
    We created our own little entertainment at home and would invite neighbors if we felt like it would be appropriate at a later time. I have been researching rathrdrum and it feels right for me and my family. We are a busy working but close nit family, so this would be great.

    During the winter when snowing, especially heavy snow, are you stranded in Ranthdrum or stranded in your house? Or can you still drive to Coure de lane?

    • @aamantium1
      @aamantium1 3 месяца назад

      There's so much snow that you sometimes get stuck in your house for up to a week at a time. The city tries to conserve power, so they turn it off every other day for a couple of hours. So, you really need a wood stove and a back up of emergency food. But you get used to it!

    I lived in Rathdrum from 1997 to 2011, moved due to husband’s career change and daughter choosing an out of state college. I miss rathdrum and will be purchasing acreage to spend summers there as we have moved to kuna,idaho in southern idaho. I was a Realtor from 2000 to 2011, Trent is extremely knowledgeable about North Idaho. As for train sounds, we became so used to hearing them that we missed them when we didn’t and have the same situation in Kuna. We love Rathdrum, it is a great place for kids to grow up! Trent is right about the snow belt - it starts in Rathdrum and gets heavier the further north you travel, but its beautiful and not hindering and we had several horses while living there!! Use Trent as your Realtor, he is so knowledgeable!!
