About West Spokane
West Spokane is a compact, close-in neighborhood northwest of downtown, with newer developments like River Ridge keeping you close to town, but not in it. It gives you easy access to the Spokane River and the Centennial Trail, and a short drive to downtown and Kendall Yards.
- Centennial Trail
- Near the river
- Close to downtown
Our take
Close-in, newer homes with the river and trails nearby. It keeps you within the 15 minutes of the downtown hospitals (important for medical professionals) and also gets you close to a ton of outdoor recreation. A great, small pocket neighborhood just over the river from Downtown.
