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.”

That said, midcentury ranches make up most of the housing inventory in the neighborhood.

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.
