Hayden

Lakeside and rural living a few minutes north of Coeur d'Alene.

About Hayden

Hayden sits a few minutes north of Coeur d'Alene, with Hayden Lake to the east and open ground to the north and west. Expect a mix of established neighborhoods, newer construction, golf communities, and acreage, with lake access and Silverwood Theme Park a short drive away.

  • Hayden Lake
  • Golf
  • Acreage options

Our take

Lake and golf living a few minutes from Coeur d'Alene, with a bit more room. Popular with buyers moving in from out of state or looking for a quieter, smaller lake.
