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.”
