Otterson Ranch Airport

The airport was closed after the 160-acre property was sold for a large-scale real estate project. The primary reason was economic, capitalizing on the land's value for residential development in the growing Post Falls area.

The site has been completely redeveloped into a residential housing community named 'The Landings at Waterford' by Architerra Homes. The runway and any associated hangars have been removed and replaced with single-family homes, parks, and streets. As a tribute to the site's history, the streets within the development have aviation-themed names, such as N Landing St, N Takeoff St, N Propeller Ln, and N Wright Flyer St.

Otterson Ranch Airport was a private-use airfield featuring a single 2,000-foot turf runway (18/36). It was owned by Larry Otterson and served as a classic 'ranch strip' for personal and recreational general aviation. Operations were limited to small, single-engine aircraft suitable for short, unpaved runways. The airport held local significance for the private aviation community but had no commercial or military role.

Zero. The land has been permanently converted to a high-density residential neighborhood, making any future aviation use impossible. There are no plans or prospects for reopening.
