About Palisades
Palisades is a west-side neighborhood above Latah Creek and the Spokane River, named for Palisades Park and its basalt cliffs. Homes range from older ranchers and mid-century houses to newer builds with views, and the park's trails are close by. It's a short drive to downtown and the South Hill.

- Rim and river views
- Close to downtown
Our take
Some of the best views of Spokane are from Palisades Park. You can find acreage and space out here while staying within a short drive to Downtown Spokane. One of our favorite Municipal Golf Courses, Indian Canyon, is right there, and you have easy, quick trail access to the State Park or downtown.
