All Neighbors in Coeur d Alene's Fernan Lake Village
Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.

The tiny town of Fernan Lake Village, Idaho, located at the eastern end of Coeur d'Alene's main downtown street, is being touted as an example of fiscal responsibility. At their August 2010 meeting, for the 4th year in a row the mayor and city council of Fernan Lake Village declined to raise property taxes. 
Because of the premier location Fernan Lake Village is a highly desired address. At any given time, there are few for sale signs to be found. I currently have a beautiful home listed there, completely remodeled and expanded and updated with all the bells and whistles. Some homes sit along the waterfront and command sales prices in the million dollar range. All residents have access to the public park, boat launch and docks located within the village. No home is more than a block or two from the lake.
