Post Falls
Growing riverfront community just across the state line.
About Post Falls
Post Falls sits on the Spokane River between Coeur d'Alene and the Washington state line, which makes it one of the easier commutes in either direction. Newer subdivisions, river access at Q'emiln Park, and prices that generally run below Coeur d'Alene draw buyers who work in both states or simply want to get into Idaho.
