Woodsy border town close to Spokane and CDA

Located on the Washington-Idaho border, roughly equidistant from Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, Liberty Lake offers a scenic blend of suburban amenities and natural beauty. The city, named for the stunning lake just south of town, is known for its outdoorsy atmosphere and easy access to the two largest metros in the area. “It’s popular for a lot of reasons: the scenery, the location, the houses,” says local Realtor Mike Bass of 21 Beutler & Associates and lifelong area resident. “There has been a ton of development in the area, so if you’re looking for a modern home with modern appliances, it's easy to find here. Washington state’s lack of income tax also draws a lot of people who work across the border in CDA.” The town of Liberty Lake wasn’t officially incorporated until 2001. Before then, housing in the area was mostly limited to custom-built homes alongside the lake. That has changed dramatically in recent years. Multiple golf courses, numerous upscale subdivisions and a sizeable commercial district have all sprung up over the last couple of decades, utterly transforming the local landscape.

Upscale subdivisions with lake views

The local housing market is mostly made up of large contemporary homes in recently built master-planned communities. There are also a few condos available near the center of town. The Rocky Hill and River District neighborhoods feature modern homes with open floor plans and convenient access to parks and trails. The gated Legacy Ridge community provides larger properties with scenic views of the valley and golf courses. Condos in the city go for $300,000 to $400,000, while single-family homes can go for anywhere from $450,000 to a little over $1 million. Liberty Lake’s violent and property crime rates are generally well below state averages, according to the FBI’s data. Parts of the city, particularly southside neighborhoods close to forests, do have a high wildfire risk.

All kinds of skiing at Liberty Lake Regional Park

Outdoor activities are a central part of life in Liberty Lake. “It’s really a beautiful area,” says Realtor Steven Silbar of John L. Scott Realty, who has worked in the area for over 8 years. “The mountains are right there, there’s tons of hiking and the lake is great for boating and water skiing.” Just south of town, Liberty Lake Regional Park spans over 3,000 acres and features hiking trails, picnic areas and a beach for swimming. In winter, the park's trails are popular with cross-country skiers. There are a variety of other large outdoor areas just outside of town, including the Saltese Uplands Conservation Area. Just north of town, the Spokane River draws fishing enthusiasts and kayakers. The Centennial Bike Trail, which runs alongside the river for over 30 miles, provides a scenic route for cycling enthusiasts. For golfers, Liberty Lake Golf Course and MeadowWood Golf Course provide well-maintained greens and challenging layouts. The town also has an assortment of city parks, which offer playgrounds, athletic fields and occasional community programming. Like just about everywhere in eastern Washington, Liberty Lake has a four-season climate, so summers are hot and winters are quite chilly.

A fast-growing roster of shops and restaurants

The city’s commercial areas center around the intersection of Liberty Lake Road and Country Vista Drive, just south of Interstate 90. A number of highly rated restaurants, bars and breweries have sprung up in the area in recent years. As for shopping, major retailers like Home Depot and supermarkets Safeway and Yoke’s Fresh Market have moved into town, making shopping a breeze. Additional retail can be found at the Spokane Valley Mall, just 5 miles west of town via the I-90.

Modern facilities at Ridgeline High

Liberty Lake is part of the Central Valley School District, which has a B-plus grade on Niche. Most high schoolers attend Ridgeline High School, which first opened its doors in 2021.

I-90 makes it easy to get around

Liberty Lake’s location along Interstate 90 is a key part of its appeal, as most of its residents commute. Both Spokane and Couer d’Alene are about 15 miles away by car, so most residents are within a 20-minute drive of the two biggest urban centers in the region. While the Spokane Transit Authority does run a bus line to Liberty Lake, the vast majority of residents rely on personal transportation to get around. As for traveling farther afield, Spokane International Airport is just over 20 miles away and offers direct flights to over 20 destinations.

I-90 is a major thoroughfare that offers Post Falls residents quick commuting.
