About Post Falls' Legion Manor

Legion Manor Post Falls Block Party - Neighbors Actually Do Mend Fences!

A Neighborhood that mends fences together becomes a great place to live!

The Story Starts Out Like This:

A kid from another neighborhood comes through my subdivision and decides to kick the tar out of our community fence. You can see the damage below. He decided to kick something out of each section, creating as much damage as possible. He was caught about 4:00 in the morning and booked into juvenile hall.

The Rest Of The Story:

I was able to organize my neighbors with two goals in mind. 1) Fix the fence before it sits forever unrepaired and further deteriorates, and 2) Create an opportunity for everyone to come together and get to know each other ... A Block Party!

So the date was set, and about half of the residents showed up. It was an awesome community building event!

90% of the fence restored in about 1 hour! The power of a group effort.

After fixing the fence we had a barbeque in the street!

... and we are planning for next years Block Party!

Legion Manor - Post Falls, Idaho ... named for its proximity to the American Legion Hall (American Legion Post 143) which was newly constructed in 2005. The American Legion offers several community based offerings throughout the week and year for local neighbors, including a Sunday a.m. breakfast, monthly bingo and a Thanksgiving meal.

Phase I of Legion Manor subdivision consists of 33 lots. The neighborhoods appearance is modern with a few touches of the craftsman styling throughout. There are both single story and 2 story homes throughout the neighborhood with a range from 1200sqft to 2800sqft represented. Legion Manor Phase II adds an additional 18 lots and a common area in between that abuts the nearby park. Legion Manor is characterized by newer well built homes with dramatic gables and fronted by grassy swales.

A few distinctions of the community are as follows:

• minimum 8 inch facia boards
• a required 36 sqft of porch area
  
• a pop-out window box
• 2 unique textures on each facade
• a representation of stone at the front of each house
• a lighted monument
• and a city approved tree in the swale

These unique appointments set the neighborhood apart from other nearby neighborhoods that don't have these distinctions.
