Liberty Lake, a scenic suburb in the Spokane Valley
Liberty Lake settles in the Spokane Valley between Spokane and Coeur d'Alene. Once a resort town known as "Spokane's Inland Seashore," the city now opens its nearby lake beach and sweeping mountain views to a much less seasonal population. With its new construction neighborhoods, commercial plazas, highly rated schools and access to Interstate 90, Liberty Lake can offer suburban convenience and stunning vistas between the commuter centers of eastern Washington and northern Idaho.
Modern neighborhoods offering a wide range of housing
Suburban subdivisions spiral off main roads throughout Liberty Lake, lined with a mix of attached and detached homes built from the early 2000s through the 2020s. Buyers can find houses in a range of New Traditional styles and sizes, set on suburban lots backed by views of the distant Coeur d’Alene Mountains. “It’s popular for a lot of reasons: the scenery, the location, the houses,” says Mike Bass, a Realtor with Century 21 Beutler & Associates. “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.”
Prices range widely in Liberty Lake. You can find new construction townhouses in the lower $300,000s in communities like Stonehill, while expansive contemporary homes in gated communities like Legacy Ridge Estates sell for well over $2 million. The city’s median single-family home price is in the upper $400,000s. That’s much lower than Coeur d’Alene’s median price. While prices are higher here than in Spokane, square footage and lot sizes tend to be larger in Liberty Lake, and homes are much newer.
There are many new construction planned communities for buyers to explore.
Liberty Lake has lots of new construction communities being built.

Highly rated Central Valley schools
The Central Valley School District serves Liberty Lake. Several CVSD schools earn high grades from Niche, including Ridgeline High School, which opened in 2021. While at Ridgeline, students can participate in the AA Degree in the High School Program, which allows them to earn an Associate of Arts degree at no cost.
Liberty Lake's trails, beach, parks and natural beauty
“It's really a beautiful area,” says Steven Silbar, a Realtor with 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.” Between the city’s robust parks system and the expansive natural areas surrounding Liberty Lake, you have easy access to nearly 5,000 acres of public land in the Spokane Valley. Locals love spots like:
Liberty Lake Regional Park, over 3,500 acres of pine forest hiking areas, campgrounds and beaches around its namesake lake
Pavillion Park, a central gathering place with an amphitheater, a splash pad, a skate park and sports courts
Trailhead Golf Course, a nine-hole course and one of a few public golf facilities in the city
Saltese Uplands Conservation Area, a mountain biking hub with great views of the surrounding hills and valleys
The Centennial Trail, a paved biking and walking path that runs along the Spokane River between Nine Mile Falls and the Idaho border
Liberty Lake has lots of hiking and outdoor recreation nearby.
Rockey Hill park features a large play area as well as a community garden.

I-90 is a major thoroughfare that offers residents easy commuting.
Taking I-90 between Spokane and Coeur d'Alene
Liberty Lake is set along Interstate 90 between Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, each about 20 minutes away with light traffic. During rush hour, I-90 can become fairly backed up, doubling commute times. The Spokane Transit Authority runs local bus routes and commuter lines between downtown Spokane and the Liberty Lake Park & Ride. The city also maintains plenty of shared-use paths and bike lanes, allowing you to run some errands on foot or on a bike.
Liberty Lake's calendar is packed with community events
Community spirit and local connections are points of pride in Liberty Lake, which shows during the city's many events. You might like:
Founders & Fireworks, a two-day Fourth of July celebration that includes parades, live music and fireworks over the lake
Shakespeare in the Park, dramatic performances that take place at Pavilion Park’s amphitheater
Liberty Lake Farmers Market, a weekly pop-up at Town Square Park through the warmer months
Liberty Lake has several parks and recreational areas that locals like to use in their free time.
Bring the whole family to enjoy the show at Cops, Cars & Cruisers in Liberty Lake.

Businesses in Liberty Lake and commercial hubs in the Spokane Valley
Strip malls and big-box store plazas continue to develop alongside Liberty Lake’s neighborhoods and parks, especially along Appleway Avenue. You can find grocery stores, home improvement stores, local restaurants serving international cuisines and plenty of chain businesses. For more retailers, residents might head to the Spokane Valley Mall, less than 10 minutes away. ’s own commercial and cultural centers are under 20 minutes from home.
