Idaho might seem like a hidden gem, but its real estate prices tell a different story. According to the Zillow Home Value Index, house prices across many of Idaho’s mountain and resort towns have climbed sharply in recent years. From lakeside escapes near Coeur d’Alene to ski towns tucked in the central peaks, these are places where buyers are paying top dollar for a slice of the good life. For some towns, the surge started during the remote work boom—but even now, demand hasn’t cooled much. Whether it’s outdoor adventure, scenic views, or luxury development pulling buyers in, property in these 17 Idaho towns definitely doesn’t come cheap.

Home values in Felt jumped 87% between 2019 and June 2025, growing from just under $380,000 to over $708,000. The steepest increases came in 2021 and 2022, with gains of over 36% and 29%, respectively. Although prices dipped in 2023, they have since rebounded modestly.
Felt – Limited Inventory in a Scenic Pocket
Felt is a tiny rural community in Teton County, tucked along the western edge of Idaho near the Wyoming border. It’s just north of the more widely known Tetonia and sits amid the Tetons’ striking scenery. While population data is sparse, Felt’s home market is defined by extremely limited inventory and strong appeal to those looking for space and views.
Most of the homes here are spread across large lots or agricultural parcels, which helps drive up values despite the town’s remote feel. Demand in nearby Driggs and Victor likely spilled over into Felt during the pandemic-era housing surge, boosting prices. Since then, values have stabilized somewhat, but the area remains among Idaho’s most expensive places to buy.

Hope – Waterfront Appeal Along Lake Pend Oreille
Hope is perched along the northern edge of Lake Pend Oreille, offering dramatic views and quick access to one of Idaho’s most beautiful waterways. Its secluded nature and limited housing stock have kept it high on the list for buyers seeking lakefront property. Most homes here are custom-built or historic, which further drives up values.
With nearby Sandpoint growing in popularity, Hope benefits from its proximity while maintaining a quiet, small-town identity. The steep jump in values during 2021–2022 likely reflects increased demand for remote, high-amenity towns during the pandemic. Even as prices soften, Hope remains among the top-tier markets in North Idaho.

McCall – Resort Town Pricing Without Slowing
McCall is a premier destination in Central Idaho, known for its ski slopes, lakefront charm, and vibrant tourism economy. Located on the edge of Payette Lake, it’s long been a hotspot for second homes and vacation rentals. With limited buildable land, the supply side remains tight even as demand holds steady.
Prices soared in 2021 and 2022 as out-of-state buyers entered the market, pushing McCall into the top tier of Idaho’s most expensive towns.

Dover – Small Town, High-End Waterfront
Dover sits right on the edge of Lake Pend Oreille, just a few miles west of Sandpoint.

These newer developments offer luxury homes, marinas, and direct access to the lake and trails.
The town’s location—close to ski slopes, lake activities, and Sandpoint’s amenities—helps justify its steep price tag. Much of the explosive growth in 2021 and 2022 was driven by buyers seeking a blend of natural beauty and resort-like living.

Tetonia – Affordable Entry Point to Teton Valley
Tetonia sits northwest of Driggs in Idaho’s picturesque Teton Valley.
