Millwood, a historic industrial town along the Spokane River
Whistles sound regularly from the Inland Empire Paper Company in the tiny city of Millwood. Railroad tracks and the Spokane River helped draw industry to this part of the Spokane Valley, which jump-started the construction of walkable Argonne Road businesses, local parks and early and mid-20th-century homes. Modern residents often live, work and play as their families did in Millwood’s earlier days. However, you're also close to Interstate 90 and the Centennial Trail, which connect you to Spokane's modern commuter hubs and recreation areas.
Millwood is an industrial paper mill town and a thriving retail and dining hub.
Millwood features beautiful views over the Spokane River.

Home prices in a historic district and on the Spokane River
Most residents live in single-family homes, some of which are in the Millwood Historic District. Buyers can find Craftsman bungalows, Tudor Revivals and other creative historic revival homes in this area, built from the early to mid-1900s. Outside the district, you’ll see many blocks of ranch-style homes and other popular midcentury houses. Many kinds of larger custom homes have been built along Riverway Avenue to take advantage of desirable waterfront properties. “It’s known for the big, gorgeous trees that line the street,” says Cambria Henry, the owner and managing broker of Haven Real Estate. “You have the feel of the South Hill, a wooded neighborhood closer to downtown, but Millwood is right here in the valley.”
Most single-family homes sell from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$400,000s, but houses along the Spokane River go for closer to $1 million. Millwood has a median single-family home price in the upper $200,000s. It’s lower than nearby neighborhoods like Chief Garry Park, Mirabeau and Dishman Hills, as well as the cities of Spokane and Spokane Valley.
Homes come in many historic styles.
Some homes in Millwood have lush gardens in the fall months.

A short walk to West Valley High School
Millwood is part of the West Valley School District. West Valley High School is within walking distance of many residents. It offers Career and Technical Education pathways for students interested in fields such as business marketing, health science, human services and manufacturing.
Beloved local businesses along Argonne Road
A walkable stretch of small businesses lines Argonne Road in the middle of Millwood. Locally owned restaurants are the backbone of this business district, from trendy newcomers to decades-old favorites. You might like:
Rocket Bakery, a local chain founded in Millwood in the 1990s, known for scratch-made pastries and coffee
Stockwell's Chill n Grill, a casual smash burger joint with an arcade and outdoor patio
Joe's House, a neighborhood bar and grill specializing in Mexican fusion pub grub
Whistle Punk Brewing Co., a dog-friendly brewery serving craft beers and pizza
Old Mill, a casual bar where residents meet up and shoot pool
Just down the road, you can also find strip malls with more small businesses and grocery anchors like Yoke’s Fresh Market and Safeway.
Close to I-90 and the Spokane Valley’s industrial hubs
Many parts of Millwood are walkable, but you’ll need to drive or catch a Spokane Transit Authority bus to get around the greater Spokane Valley. Interstate 90 is just south of the city, offering a roughly 8-mile drive to Downtown Spokane. Commuters often attempt to avoid back-ups at busy railroad crossings in and around the city. Several industrial businesses employ people closer to home, including Inland Empire Paper Company.
A community park and garden near the Centennial Trail
Although it’s an urban area, Millwood is also rich with natural beauty. “The trees are beautiful with all the colors in the fall,” says Dana Pendergrass of of Live Real Estate, who has sold homes since the 2000s. “You also get some wildlife on the Spokane River, and the Centennial Trail follows the water. It beats other parts of the Valley in my opinion.” Millwood Park is in the center of town, a green space with a playground, seasonal wading pool and splash pad, sports courts and a soccer field. Locals tend to beds in the Millwood Community Garden, which is just across the Spokane River. You can also access the Centennial Trail across the river, a popular 40-mile trail where people bike and jog to waterfront hubs like Boulder Beach and Mirabeau Point Park.
Plenty of neighborly get-togethers in Millwood
