About North Idaho
Often known as 'The Panhandle', North Idaho includes Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Clearwater, Idaho, Kootenai, Latah, Lewis, Nez Perce, and Shoshone Counties. In the heart of the i-90 corridor and bordering Montana to the east, Washington to the west, and Canada to the North, this region is home to spectacular wildlife and scenery, rustic landscapes, sapphire lakes, thick forests and gorgeous mountain sunsets.
Featuring some of the most beautiful waterfronts in America, North Idaho is home to Lake Pend Orielle, Lake Coeur d’Alene and the Spokane and Pend Orielle Rivers. A true four-season region, North Idaho enjoys a more mild winter than most regions in the east and summers that tend to be dry and clear.
With offices in two of the most prominent cities in North Idaho (Sandpoint & Coeur d’Alene), the agents at Tomlinson Sotheby’s International Realty are experts on this gorgeous region in both lifestyle and landscape.
