South Hill charm meets Spokane’s healthcare hubs in Cliff-Cannon

People typically think of two things when you bring up Cliff-Cannon: Spokane ’s major hospitals and the nearby blocks of magnificent turn-of-the-century mansions. It’s the gateway from Downtown Spokane to the city’s popular South Hill neighborhoods, all known for their mature tree-lined streets and preserved historic homes. Grand architecture and medical institutions don’t make Cliff-Cannon feel too stuffy, though. Volunteer-run festivals, local businesses and lively parks give the community a close-knit feel, and they're all located just a quick walk or bike ride down the block.

Buying condos or historic mansions in Spokane’s South Hill

“There’s a road called Sumner where there are some really huge Tudor Revivals, Colonial Revivals, all kinds of mansions from the turn of the century,” says Traci Bemis, a residential broker with EXP Realty who’s served the Spokane area for nine years. “If you live closer to the freeway, you’re going to see homes change. There’s more of a mix of single-family homes and multifamily properties. There’s a bit more variety in Cliff-Cannon.” You can find houses in all kinds of architectural styles along the neighborhood’s blocks, from small Craftsman bungalows and Cape Cods to historic custom estates. Condos sell from the mid-$100,000s to the upper $400,000s. Single-family homes typically range from the mid-$200,000s to the upper $700,000s. Newly built or highly renovated homes can range from the mid-$800,000s to nearly $1.5 million.

Cliff-Cannon has a median single-family home price in the lower $400,000s. It's lower than South Hill neighborhoods like Rockwood, Manito and Comstock, but higher than nearby Browne's Addition and Downtown Spokane.

Walking, biking, busing and driving to Spokane’s major hospitals

“Cliff-Cannon is definitely more of a medical district hub,” Bemis says. Sidewalks and bike lanes make it easy to reach some of Spokane County’s biggest employers and healthcare hubs, Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center and MultiCare Deaconess Hospital. Locals can also drive or catch a Spokane Transit Authority bus to get around town. Downtown Spokane is only about a mile away, just across the busy rush of Interstate 90. Parking isn’t typically a big issue for residents, whether they’re street parking, pulling into small driveways or using an apartment complex lot. Some areas near Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center are in the Zone Four Downtown Residential Parking District. People living there can apply for a residential parking permit from the city.

Walking to trails, playgrounds and community parks

Tiny pocket parks and community spaces break up Cliff-Cannon's residential blocks with tree-shaded spots to get outside. You might like:

  • Cliff Park, a small, woodsy pocket with hilly walking paths
  • Polly Judd Park, offering a playground and picnic area near a community garden and hiking trails along a bluff
  • Edwidge Woldson Park, home to the Moore-Turner Heritage Gardens and Corbin Art Center
  • Cowley Park, a small playground known for its seasonal Christmas lights
You might also walk a handful of blocks to neighboring Manito to spend time in the gardens at Manito Park or take a walk around the pond at Cannon Hill Park.

Walkable to highly rated Spokane Public Schools

Cliff-Cannon is served by Spokane Public Schools. Kids can be enrolled in assigned neighborhood schools, but parents may also apply for spots at other neighborhood schools or specialized option schools through the district’s choice program. Two of Cliff-Cannon's highly rated assigned schools, Roosevelt Elementary and Lewis and Clark High, are within walking distance for many students.

Close-knit vibe through Cliff-Cannon organizations and events

While life is quiet and suburban in Cliff-Cannon, that doesn’t mean that people keep to themselves. You can volunteer with groups like Friends of the Bluff and the Cliff Cannon Neighborhood Council to get involved with local beautification or help put on annual events like fall festivals and summer potlucks. St. John’s Cathedral, beyond being a well-known architectural landmark, also hosts concerts throughout the year.

Shopping and dining at locally owned businesses

Small businesses cluster along South Grand Boulevard or within a few blocks of Manito’s many hospitals and medical centers. Some favorites include:

  • Park Inn, a comfortable sports bar known for pizza and pub grub
  • Lebanon Restaurant & Cafe, a Mediterranean spot with an outdoor patio
  • Sushi Blossom, a Japanese restaurant with cool, contemporary ambiance
  • Jacob’s Java, Spokane’s first drive-through coffee stand
  • Huckleberry’s Natural Market, a locally owned organic grocery store
