Native history in a modern suburban education hub, Chief Garry Park
Chief Garry Park is named for a Spokane Tribe leader whose diplomacy and education were central to Spokane ’s early history. Chief Garry is honored with a memorial at the modern park that also shares his name, a verdant spot set between blocks of small single-family homes and busy warehouse and commercial districts. Sandwiched between Gonzaga University and Spokane Community College, the neighborhood is a convenient place to live for students and employees. In between colleges, industrial areas and railroad tracks, Chief Garry Park has remained a comparatively affordable place where neighbors work hard to improve their parks, infrastructure and access to the scenic Spokane River.
Older homes for competitive prices compared to nearby neighborhoods
“Chief Garry Park is mostly older homes built in the 1940s and 1950s,” says Jonathan Bich, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Tomlinson North, who’s served Spokane and the surrounding area for 24 years. “On the north side of Mission, there are lots of owner-occupied homes. The majority of investor properties are more toward the western side, south of Mission. You’ll see lots of duplexes and fourplexes.” Bungalows, Minimal Traditional homes, National cottages and other simple single-family home styles line most residential blocks, but you’ll also find pockets of slightly newer ranch-style and split-level homes. There are also a handful of apartment and condo communities.
Move-in-ready single-family homes range from the upper $100,000s to the mid-$400,000s. Condos and townhouses can list from the upper $100,000s to the upper $500,000s, depending on size, age and luxury renovations. Multi-family properties can sell from the upper $200,000s to the lower $600,000s, depending on age, condition and number of rentable units. Chief Garry Park’s median single-family home price is in the upper $200,000s. That’s lower than nearby East Central, Logan and Emerson Garfield.
Close to public schools, plus Spokane Community College
Chief Garry Park is split between Spokane Public Schools and the West Valley School District. Both districts assign schools based on home address. SPS also allows families to apply to different district schools through a choice system. Kids in Chief Garry Park might live within walking distance of Stevens Elementary School or Orchard Center Elementary School.
Spokane Community College is also in the middle of the neighborhood, offering associate degree and career certification programs.
Blocks from community parks and Spokane River recreation
Places to spend time outdoors are easy to find in Chief Garry Park, whether you want to walk to your nearest playground or enjoy time on the Spokane River. You might like:
Chief Garry Park, a sprawling community park with baseball fields, picnic areas and a seasonal splash pad
Stone Park, a smaller green space with swings, a playground and walking paths
Parkwater Park, a pocket park where you can enjoy the playground and basketball court
The Centennial Trail, a major cycling and jogging path on the other side of the Spokane River
Upriver Park, a place to launch kayaks along the Centennial Trail
A council working to connect residents and community spaces
While Chief Garry Park’s industrial areas and riverside location make it hard for the neighborhood to make big changes, people living on nearby streets have worked hard to increase walkability to local schools and businesses. Some local parks were funded by grants that neighbors applied for and planned together. Joining the Chief Garry Park Neighborhood Council is a good way to get involved, whether you want to attend meetings to discuss issues like the neighborhood’s master plan or participate in community clean-ups and other events.
Close to colleges and downtown Spokane
“A lot of people live in the area because they can work at Spokane Community College,” Bich says. “The western side of the neighborhood is more toward Gonzaga. A lot of students will rent in that area.” Locals might walk, drive or take a Spokane Transit Authority bus to SCC. The Iron Bridge, a pedestrian bridge, takes cyclists across the river toward Gonzaga University. Both education hubs and major Spokane employers are within 2 miles of home. Downtown Spokane is a roughly 3-mile commute.
Local businesses on Mission Avenue and Freya Way
You’ll find most of Chief Garry Park’s family-owned restaurants, specialty stores and gas stations along Mission Avenue and Freya Way. Locals love:
The Great Northwest Vendor Mall, a place to browse vintage tchotchkes
Vien Dong Restaurant, a casual Vietnamese spot with vegan options
Blissful Blends, a coffee stand for lattes and tea on the go

Kings Bar & Grill, a favorite place for pub grub, pool games and karaoke
