Moving to Coeur d’Alene Idaho — What No One Tells You Before You Relocate

Coeur d’Alene is one of those places that can look almost too perfect from a distance.
There is Lake Coeur d’Alene, a walkable downtown, mountains in nearly every direction, and seemingly endless access to boating, hiking, fishing, skiing, and other outdoor recreation. It is easy to visit for a summer weekend and start imagining what life would look like if you moved here permanently.
