Low-key Spokane suburbia

Budget-friendly homes, engaging schools and proximity to a scenic nature preserve await in Dishman Hills. “It’s smack in the middle of Spokane and Spokane Valley, which is incredibly convenient for families that need to commute to both places,” says local Realtor Steven Silbar with John L. Scott Real Estate, who has worked in the area for over a decade. “It’s ten minutes to Downtown and ten minutes to the Spokane Valley Mall and all the businesses out there. And Dishman Hills Park is great if you like hiking or mountain biking.”

Midcentury and modern homes

This suburban neighborhood is home to a wide variety of housing styles, including early 20th-century bungalows and more recently built new traditional homes. That said, midcentury ranches make up most of the housing inventory in the neighborhood. Prices here can run from as low as $150,000 for a fixer-upper ranch up to $500,000 for a more spacious new traditional two-story, making it one of the of the more budget-friendly neighborhoods in the area.

Dishman Hills Natural Area

The centerpiece of the neighborhood is the Dishman Hills Natural Area. This extensive preserve offers over 530 acres of conservation area that is a haven for hikers, nature enthusiasts, and families. The natural area features a network of trails that wind through rocky outcroppings, forested areas, and open meadows. Popular among locals for its wildlife viewing opportunities and its picturesque landscapes, it provides a perfect setting for educational field trips and leisurely weekend hikes alike. In addition to the natural area, the neighborhood is home to a number of well-maintained city parks offering everything from playgrounds to public pools. The neighborhood is also just a 5-mile drive from Iller Creek Conservation Area, which is nearly twice the size of Dishman Hills Conservation Area and is home to the locally beloved Rocks of Sharon, a granite outcropping with stunning valley views.

Education in Dishman Hills

Students in Dishman Hills attend West Valley School District, including the highly rated Ness Elementary School. The school is rated above average by Great Schools for student progress, offering a variety of programming to help students succeed. Students here also have the advantage of beginning string classes to help them develop musical skills early. At Centennial Middle School, students benefit from a notable library media center with resources for various digital activities, including animation, graphic design and zine creation. Nearby Spokane Valley High uses a project-based learning model with workshops and collaborative learning to help deepen students' critical thinking and collaboration skills.

Sprague Avenue shops and restaurants

Most retail in the area is concentrated along Sprague Avenue, which connects Spokane and Spokane Valley and neatly bisects the Dishman Hills neighborhood. While far from the prettiest stretch of retail in Spokane, Sprague’s central location in the neighborhood does make it easy for locals to pick up groceries and other necessities. The street is home to multiple supermarkets, including WinCo Foods and Rosauers, as well as a few smaller shops.

Dishman Hills is home to a variety of restaurants and eateries, ranging from fast food joints to family-owned diners and casual restaurants. Jenny’s Cafe is a homey, cozily decorated brunch spot is known for its massive portions. Nearby, highly-rated La Plaza de Mexico is a go-to for authentic Mexican cuisine

Entertainment

In addition to its proximity to lively Downtown Spokane, the neighborhood is close to entertainment like Roller Valley Skate Center, the Spokane County Fairgrounds and wineries like Arbor Crest Wine Cellars. Perched on a bluff, this historic winery offers tastings, events, live music and wine workshops.

Getting around Spokane and the Valley

"The community is close to major highways, so commuting to Spokane's city center is easy," says Realtor Haydn Halsted with Halsted Hometeam. Interstate 90 connects Dishman Hills to both Spokane and Spokane Valley. Spokane International Airport is just a 12-mile drive from the neighborhood via I-90 and offers direct connections to over 30 locations. A number of bus routes overseen by the Spokane Transit Authority serve the neighborhood, most of them connecting to Downtown Spokane via Sprague Avenue.
