Named after a village in County Wicklow, Ireland, Rathdrum sits at the base of Rathdrum Mountain in Idaho's northern panhandle. This growing community offers renters a peaceful setting with mountain views while maintaining easy access to the amenities of the greater Coeur d'Alene metropolitan area. The historic downtown area features preserved brick buildings from the early 1900s, while newer developments provide various rental options including single-family homes and smaller apartment communities.

Rathdrum's rental market includes well-maintained townhomes and single-family residences that offer more space than typically found in larger cities. With average rent for a one-bedroom apartment at $1,359, slightly above the Idaho state average, renters find value in a community where the median household income reaches over $73,000. The nearby communities of Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene expand housing options for those seeking additional choices.

Transportation is straightforward with proximity to Highway 41 and Interstate 90, making the 15-minute commute to Coeur d'Alene or the 30-minute drive to Spokane, Washington convenient for work or leisure. The area supports a diverse economy with healthcare, education, manufacturing, and tourism providing employment opportunities. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore Rathdrum Mountain Conservation Area's hiking trails, while Twin Lakes and Spirit Lake offer swimming and boating just minutes away. The walkable downtown district provides everyday conveniences close to home.
