City Center Spokane
Fresh air at The Falls
Riverfront Park is Spokane’s cultural cornerstone. The dynamic outdoor hub’s sprawling multi-use space fills with walkers and cyclists who take to the paved pathways lined with lofty maples. Bikers carve past public art sculptures and ride across the river while other parkgoers make their way down the stairs beside the tumbling rapids at the scenic falls. Some soak in the stunning water views while suspended ski-lift-style in a slow-moving cabin, the best vantage point in the city. The dynamic outdoor hot spot is a year-round respite known for its blooming beds of lilacs that sweeten the summertime air. The park also hosts many of the city’s most popular events, including New Year's Eve Fireworks Celebration and the popular Lilac Festival Brewfest, featuring 30 local beer and cider makers.Local eats at The Wonder Market
City Center homeowners live steps away from busy shopping centers like River Park Square, an upscale mall full of name-brand shops and a handful of local boutiques. Spokanites navigate the downtown area to explore the many eateries that shape the city’s budding culinary scene. Atticus Coffee’s organic roasts make for a cozy pick-me-up, and foodies can find lots of local bites at The Wonder Market, Spokane’s first food hall. Ruins chef Tony Brown is a James Beard Award semifinalist in 2023, lauded for his creative seasonal menus and craft cocktails. Live music hums daily from City Center’s many venues, including the historic Fox Theater’s Art Deco digs and the city’s independent, edgy favorite, The Big Dipper. Sports fans can catch a hockey game at Spokane Arena and mark their calendars for Hoopfest, the largest three-on-three basketball tournament in the world.Attached housing with city views
Spokane’s city dwellers live in brick-clad condos, historic lofts and small studios with big views. Most properties have multi-family layouts, where homeowners live side-by-side with their neighbors in townhomes, high rises and mixed-use developments. A simple spot in City Center might sell for $350,000, while premium properties climb to $2 million in this riverfront community. Most properties fall around the $600,000 range, which is significantly higher than the city’s overall figure. Homebuyers should be advised that the CAP Index gives City Center Spokane a crime score of 10 out of 10.Lewis and Clark students shine in computer science
Many City Center kids attend the Spokane Public Schools. Younger students may start at Roosevelt Elementary and continue to Sacajawea Middle before earning their diplomas from Lewis and Clark High. Each public school carries a Niche score of B or higher. Lewis and Clark is known for its expansive extracurricular offerings, spanning subjects from photography club and computer science to the culinary arts. There are also several private and charter schools in town for those interested in exploring education alternatives.Spokanites walk to work
Spokane’s City Center has a compact, walkable infrastructure, simplifying travel. STA buses offer multiple routes that shuttle locals across town, but many commuters opt to head out on foot or take a bike ride to the office with so many corporations nearby. Clearwater Paper is one of the region's top employers, with an office smack-dab in the center of the city. Washington State University – Spokane and Gonzaga University are immediately east of the highway, churning the local economy. The Amtrak station is also easy to access for long-distance trips.
