Between the southern banks of the Spokane River and the Saltese Uplands Conservation Area is a modern suburbia intermixed with open fields, parks and quaint local eateries. Located 15 miles east of Spokane’s city center, the Greenacres neighborhood is home to a diverse housing market and suburban amenities without the bustling atmosphere found closer to downtown. The Greenacres settlement was developed at the beginning of the 20th century as a fruit farming community, and these rural roots are still seen in the small agricultural pockets that dot the area. However, these days the neighborhood is primarily residential, featuring a growing inventory of modern homes.
“There’s a lot of development going on in the area, especially on the north side,” says Mike Bass, managing broker of Century 21 Beutler & Associates. “The homes are a bit bigger than in most of Spokane Valley, and the yards are bigger than Spokane. And you’re right next to some great wilderness areas.”
