The Rich People Might Be Buying Vacation Homes in This Idaho Town

What are these "vacation homes" you speak of?

Watch out, Coeur d'Alene... they're coming for you!

OK, can we talk about our childhoods for a second here? I think that when we were kids, we all believed there was something that made someone rich. Well, aside from a ton of money. There were certain items they owned, features in their homes or even vacations they took that instantly made them rich in your eyes.

I'm sure something just came to your mind.

I used to think, and still do believe, that you are well off if you have a vacation home. To me, anyone who can afford to pay cash for a second home or juggle two mortgages was and is a high roller.

With that being said, don't be surprised if we see some of those high rollers moving to the state of Idaho.

Specifically Coeur d'Alene.

This Idaho town was recently added to a list of the 8 Best Small Towns to Buy a Vacation Home in the U.S. according to Travel + Leisure. When I first saw the headline I thought most of these places were going to be by the beach, you know, like with an ocean view. To me, that screams vacation.

However, Coeur d'Alene offers a lot and they offer a lot for everyone. Travel + Leisure praised it for its outdoor activities, including being home to the best golf course in the state. They also stated that it's a popular family vacation spot and noted Julianne Hough took many trips to Coeur d'Alene with her family growing up. She even had her wedding there in 2017.

Do you consider Coeur d'Alene a great place to get away for a little bit? Are people with vacation homes in Coeur d'Alene rich in your eyes?
