Troy is a good vacation spot but not for full time living. It’s a beautiful area but so are most mountainous areas. Cons- lots of poverty, poor health care, fires make it difficult to see the beautiful scenery and breath. Pros- low crime rate, no traffic, outdoor activities. Good place to “get away from it all”.

The high mountain trails & lakes are a Hiker’s, backpacker's and fisherman's delight. I have a small cabin right on the Kootenai at the edge of town. Which brings in scores of outsiders and they have great reviews of our town. We have wildlife that roam the town. The swinging Bridge, Ross Creek Cedars and great scenic byways.

Jobs only open at a rate of 1 per 4 months at best, great for a vacation, loads of outdoor recreation... zero economy. if your thinking of relocating to this quaint mountain valley town you'd be better off looking eastward where the jobs are! most troy residents have to work in the Dakotas and come back to visit
