Dartford Homes for Rent

Dartford, a tranquil neighborhood in Colbert, just north of Spokane, offers a peaceful, semirural lifestyle with picturesque landscapes near the Little Spokane River. The area features a mix of older homes and newer constructions, ranging from traditional farmhouses and ranch-style homes to contemporary designs and custom-built properties. East of State Highway 395, the neighborhood has higher density with Craftsman-influenced ranch-style homes, while the west side is hillier with larger homes, gated communities like Country Hills and River Bluff Ranch, and properties with more acreage. Dartford is known for its access to parks and recreational activities, including the Little Spokane River Natural Area, Haynes Estate Conservation Area, and Van Horn, Edburg and Bass Conservation Area, which offer fishing, kayaking, and hiking. Pine River and Bidwell Community parks provide volleyball, pickleball, and basketball courts, playgrounds, and picnic spaces. The Northside Family Aquatics Facility features a miniature water park, and Wandermere Golf Course offers well-maintained greens. Students in Dartford attend highly rated schools in the Mead School District, including Midway Elementary, Farwell Elementary, Northwood Middle School, and Mead Senior High School. While Dartford lacks retail and dining options, it is close to North Spokane's commercial areas, with Fred Meyer 2 miles away and numerous supermarkets, department stores, and restaurants along North Division Street. The neighborhood is connected to the rest of Spokane via State Highways 395 and 291, with a 15- to 20-mile drive to Downtown Spokane and Interstate 90. Car ownership is essential due to limited public transportation. Dartford is safer than the national average, making it a desirable location for those seeking a quiet retreat with urban amenities nearby.
