Bellerive is one of the quietest luxury addresses in Coeur d'Alene: a gated neighborhood on the Spokane River, just west of where the river leaves the lake, with Riverstone on one side and downtown a short drive or bike ride away.
Buyers find it because they want water and walkability at the same time. You get river views, the North Idaho Centennial Trail at the door, and restaurants, shopping and the Atlas Mill Park beach within minutes, without the upkeep of a large lakefront property.
What you can buy in Bellerive
Single-family homes: newer, low-maintenance homes along Bellerive Lane, many three and four bedrooms on smaller lots. Some sit right on the river; others are set back with what local listings call secondary waterfront.
Riverfront condominiums: buildings such as Riverfront House offer two-bedroom residences on the water with lock-and-leave ownership, a popular choice for second-home buyers.
Price range: recent 2026 listings ran from under $800,000 for river condos to roughly $3.5 million for homes on the water. True river frontage carries the premium, and it rarely sits on the market for long.
Why buyers choose Bellerive
- A gated, quiet street inside the city, with public water and sewer.
- The Spokane River out front and Lake Coeur d'Alene a short boat ride upriver.
- The Centennial Trail, Riverstone's shops and dining, and Atlas Mill Park all close by.
- Smaller lots and an HOA, so the house works as a lock-and-leave.
What a Bellerive realtor should check
River property has its own rules. Before you write an offer I look at whether the frontage is private or shared, any dock or moorage rights and how they are permitted, the HOA's budget and what it covers, flood zone status, and how the home sits relative to the trail and boat traffic. Condo buyers also need the association's documents, reserves and rental rules. These details move value more than finishes do.
