HOUSING: Seniors longing for more

Coeur d’Alene, Hayden, Post Falls and surrounding areas are in dire need of moderately priced stick-built housing for seniors. This area has become a popular retirement destination and often seniors come here and find the pickings slim. Some end up renting an apartment while they continue their search for decent and affordable housing, while I am sure many give up and go home. There is a tremendous opportunity for entities with the resources to create such communities to strike while the iron is hot. Competition is needed because the few senior communities that are already here don’t have many available properties for sale. It appears that there is property available in Hayden north of Prairie Road and I suspect other areas that I am not familiar with.

Be bold. There could be great profits for those willing to take the chance.
