New Homes Boost Sandpoint North Idaho Growth
The Ruralite report notes rapid home building around Sandpoint north and northwest, including Edelweiss village and Vedelwood subdivisions. Builders like Frank Wright plan more on order homes as newcomers from California and the West flood in for Schweitzer skiing, Lake Pend Oreille fishing, and clean air living. The 1970 census may show Sandpoint near 5 000, with all electric heating from Northern Lights.
