Scenic views in Spokane
Located on Spokane's South Hill, Manito is distinguished by its scenic beauty and historic residences, providing an idyllic setting within the city's urban landscape. The neighborhood is primarily known for its namesake, Manito Park, which covers much of the neighborhood and acts as a central hub for community activity and recreation.
“It’s really an idyllic place to live,” says Mike Bass, managing broker with Century 21 Beutler & Associates and lifelong Spokane resident. “The parks are a big part of the neighborhood, especially Manito, which is kind of the heart of the city.” If you enjoy walking around your own neighborhood, I don’t think there’s a better place to live in Spokane.”
