I grew up near the Coeur d'Alene area. Can't recommend it highly enough. If your buddy can afford a place on the lake, then strongly suggest this to him. A long bay to the east of Cd'A is very close to town, but spendy and a busy place during the summer. Best bay on the lake IMHO is Mica Bay, a few clicks from town to the south. Still spendy, but much quieter. Coeur d'Alene Lake is quite large, and rivals places like Tahoe for beauty. Deep lake (over 100' deep nearly everywhere). Perfect cool water for swimming. Property on that lake will explode in value, even though it has already exploded. One of the nicest lakes anywhere.
Several years ago, the median selling price for homes in Seattle was $640K. I bought a humble King County house around that time for $240K that would sell for $500K right now.
