Suburban living near parks, businesses and more in Audubon Downriver
People know the north Spokane neighborhood of Audubon Downriver for its public parks: Audubon Park, where families go for summer concerts and splash park fun, and Downriver Golf Course, set in the pine forests along the Spokane River. Between these recreation hubs, you’ll find blocks of historic homes, walkable family-owned restaurants and shopping centers for grocery shopping. Audubon Downriver combines eastern Washington’s wild beauty with walkable, suburban convenience, all less than 10 minutes from Downtown Spokane.
Historic homes for competitive north Spokane prices
“Audubon Downriver is definitely a historic community in Spokane, with more vintage homes from the 1920s through 1960s that people love for their character,” says Kelli Johnson, a broker with Home Sales Spokane who’s served Washington and Idaho for more than 16 years. “It’s similar housing to South Hill, but the price is still a little lower in Audubon Downriver.” Buyers will find plenty of Craftsman bungalows and Cape Cods alongside pockets of midcentury ranch-style and split-level homes. Mature trees shade sidewalks and backyards throughout Audubon Downriver, and some areas close to the river offer sweeping views over the bluffs along the Spokane River.
Single-family homes usually sell from the mid-$200,000s to the lower $500,000s, though fixer-uppers can sell in the $100,000s and large homes with sweeping views of Riverside State Park or the Downriver Golf Course can go from the lower $500,00s to $1 million. Audubon Downriver has a median single-family home price in the mid-$300,000s. That’s higher than neighboring Emerson Garfield, North Hill and Northwest Spokane. When compared to South Hill neighborhoods like Rockwood, Comstock and Manito, however, prices in Audubon Downriver tend to be much lower.
