Review of Hayden, Idaho


quiet and relaxed
Star Rating - 4/10/2013
i moved here from florida, was not easy , but worth it,,, i wanted to get out of the hot and humid days, so this place is nice, many lakes,lots of people with recreation type vehicles, and boats, canoes, and biking as there are many places to ride your bike, also very easy getting around and with couer d'alene just a few miles away there is plenty to do there also. has a campus there, big medical center, plenty of shopping. but people here are very mellow, slow going, and that s okay with me. rent is reasonable, unlike where i was in florida.weather is good, always cool at night, never too hot and humid in summer, a bit cloudy through the winter, but no place is perfect, you just deal with it. there are mountains to the north,south,west and east,, surrounds you with beauty and the beauty of trees everywhere, beautiful fall colors. not many jobs though,but opportunity to start a business with limited funds.great place for kids, my son loves it here, and my wife loves the change, in every way. it is not like boise, which is hot in summer, and much much bigger. thought of going there, but glad i came here in hayden

I'm from Florida as well and I agree with everything you said but one. Rent is not low (at least not since you wrote this review in 2013). It's astronomical to the point that lower middle class people are finding it hard to not live in poverty. I feel awful for them. However, this is bad politics at work in the year 2022 and I don't blame the city for that but rather our current governor/legislators and the overall national economic policies of the times we are in.

Thinking about moving there from Naples, Florida! Heard it is a pretty conservative (politically) area to live! Has this been your observation?!
