Living in Sandpoint was created to fill a simple but important need: a reliable, positive space where residents and newcomers alike can find and share what it truly takes to live here.
Life in any community depends on the essentials. A home, a way to earn income, access to quality food and water, and opportunities to connect with others. When those resources are hard to find, it can feel overwhelming. This group exists to make it easier.
From it’s humble beginning, Living in Sandpoint has been guided by two principles:
Highlight the Benefits of Living Here Every post should add value by showing how it benefits people living in Sandpoint and the surrounding area. This helps us keep the group focused, constructive, and genuinely useful.
Be Kind and Courteous Respect and kindness are at the heart of our community. Debate is natural, but it must always be grounded in civility.
What began as a place to share articles about local restaurants, food producers, and recreational opportunities has grown into a
trusted hub for discussion, resources, and connection. Today,
thousands of members use Living in Sandpoint to discover what’s happening, support each other, and celebrate everything that makes our community unique.
To make these connections even stronger, we’ve expanded beyond social media with http://www.livinginsandpoint.com — a dedicated community hub where locals and visitors can find business listings, events, housing, jobs, business solutions and other resources. This ensures that whether you’re on Facebook or not, you have a way to connect with the people, places, and opportunities that make Sandpoint special.
Whether you’re a lifelong local, a recent arrival, or someone considering a move, Living in Sandpoint is here to help you find the information, connections, and encouragement you need to thrive.
