Most retail in the area is concentrated along Sprague Avenue, which connects Spokane and Spokane Valley and neatly bisects the Dishman Hills neighborhood.

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.
