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.”

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.
