Revitalizing Spokane rail town living in Hillyard
There’s a lot going on in Hillyard, a pocket of northern Spokane where railroad tracks and industrial areas frame settled suburban neighborhoods. It’s become known as a historic community undergoing modern revitalization projects, from smaller-scale housing flips to the huge undertaking of building a new freeway. Major developments continue in the community, but Hillyard already has plenty of everyday comforts that newcomers and long-time residents love: walkable skate parks and pools, active event and service organizations, a historic business district and easy access to the rural recreation areas and busy downtown hubs of Spokane.
The Hillyard Heritage museum features historic train cars from Union Pacific.
The Hillyard neighborhood is a very popular neighborhood to visit on the weekends.

Historic and modern homes for competitive Spokane prices
Single-family homes in a blend of styles line Hillyard’s blocks. Many are early-20th-century bungalows, but there are also pockets of midcentury ranch-style and split-level homes, as well as new construction from the 2020s. Move-in-ready homes on suburban-sized lots sell from the lower $200,000s to the lower $400,000s. Fixer-uppers can sell in the $100,000s. Houses on an acre or two of land can sell for closer to $500,000.
Hillyard has a median single-family home price in the lower $300,000s. That’s on par with nearby Whitman and North Hill. It’s a little lower than Minnehaha, but higher than Nevada Lidgerwood and Bemiss. It’s also lower than Spokane’s overall median single-family home price. “Hillyard’s incredibly unique; It’s a great launching point to becoming a homeowner,” says Rich Mickey, a managing broker with Deese Real Estate who’s served the Spokane area for 16 years. “You can still get into a first-time homebuyer’s house for a really reasonable cost.”
Residents of the Hillyard neighborhood live only a few blocks away from the old train station.

Neighborhood schools and choice programs at Spokane Public Schools
Hillyard is served by Spokane Public Schools. SPS assigns. Students can attend assigned neighborhood schools or apply for spots at other district schools through a choice program. One neighborhood school is Rogers High School, where kids can earn credit to Spokane Community College and Spokane Falls Community College by taking dual credit courses.
Developing freeway access close to downtown Spokane
"There’s an expansion they’re doing with the North Spokane Corridor freeway. That’s really going to unlock all of the north end,” Mickey says. The major U.S. Route 395 highway isn’t expected to be complete until 2030, but residents of Hillyard already have good access to Spokane’s employers and major roads. Downtown Spokane is about 6 miles away, whether you’re driving, using shared bike lanes or taking a Spokane Transit Authority bus.

Trendy businesses on historic Market Street
Hillyard’s downtown stretches along Market Street, lined by historic commercial buildings painted with murals of railyard workers. “You could almost walk down the heart of Hillyard and do your shopping, get a haircut and stop into some antique stores,” Mickey says. Some favorite spots on Market and its surrounding blocks are:
The Bad Seed, a Tex-Mex spot inside a historic library building
Red Dragon, a Chinese restaurant with vegan and gluten-free options
Legacy Billiards, a favorite place to enjoy drinks, pub grub and playing pool
Green’s Fresh Market, known for fresh produce, artisan goods and deli sandwiches
