Age of homes
Orofino, located in Clearwater County,
was established in 1896. Orofino homes are on average older and more established than is typical for
the rest of Idaho's homes. A full 20% of
Orofino properties were built before 1939, and the majority of Orofino homes
were built in 1970 or earlier, making this town a great choice for those
seeking historic Idaho homes. (Clearwater
County is also home to many
interesting and important historical landmarks.)
Home Values
The estimated median house value in 2009 was $111,583 for Orofino homes, making
them much less expensive than the 2009 estimated median value of $171,700 for
all Idaho homes. Orofino real
estate values have decreased slightly over the last few years, along with home
values all across Idaho-- the
median sale price of Boise homes in
2010 was between $200,000 and $250,000, down from about $300,000 in 2008.
Neighborhoods & Parks
Orofino lacks in city and neighborhood parks but makes up for this with the
rich array of state parks and historical landmarks in Clearwater
County and vicinity. American
history buffs will be interested to learn of the town's proximity to the “Canoe
Camp,” made famous by the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1805. Orofino is
located near the Dworshak Dam, the third highest dam in the United
States. The 53 mile Dworshak Reservoir is
home to the annual Dworshak Dam Race. Also nearby is the Nez
Perce National Historic
Park, where visitors can immerse
themselves in the tribe's history. Those who enjoy taking a scenic drive can
make use of the Northwest Passage Scenic Byway, which runs from Lewiston,
Idaho to Missoula,
Montana. Orofino is also home to an
excellent 9 hole golf course.
Nearby Shopping
Orofino contains two grocery stores, Glenwood IGA and Harvest Groceries, as
well as a meat shop and several small jewelery and flower shops. For anything
more than this, it is necessary to make a trip to Lewiston
(approximately an hour away), where shoppers can find a Walmart, a Kmart and a
Macy's, among smaller stores. Shoppers looking for high-end or niche goods will
need to travel quite a distance, as the nearest large city is Walla
Walla, Washington, nearly 3
hours away.
