Sandpoint, ID
Beautiful Place, Lots to Do -
9/16/2022It's a little too sprawling in the town itself for what I'm looking for, but the surrounding and just outside of town areas are beautiful, densely green and the native Idahoans are amazing, as they are pretty much everywhere I've lived here in the Northern parts of Idaho. I don't think it's fair to caste all of Sandpint in a bad light because of some of the recent transplants who seem more interested in creating the Beverly Hills they could never afford while in California, I think their mindset is rare, but yeah, it's felt in some places. Ignore them, they are definately in the minority, and focus instead on the scenery, recreational activities and the majority of residents who are down to earth, somewhat traditional and not out to make a statement. I'm not a member of any clubs or a church, but I've made many friends who live in the Standpoint area and they are a blast, super down to earth and accepting of everyone, no matter how rich or poor you're perceived to be. A good friend from the Standpoint grew up in the mountains and lived off grid for 3 years in the mountains, so, you interesting people.

Nice small town -
9/16/2022The town itself is beautiful, it's in a valley surrounded by mountains and trees, and forested areas and trees are throughout the town. There are two grocery stores, one with a mountain behind it that I sometimes hike on for extra exercise, I've come across maybe one other hiker in two years but I'm also an early bird. There's a big difference for sure between living right in town, living out in the country or outside of town, and staying in one of the 2 or 3 gated communities. I'd say it just depends onyour preference and your budget. Definitely a place I'd want to raise a family.
