Well-established homes near bustling Garland Avenue

North Hill has well-maintained early-20th and midcentury homes at attractive prices. The neighborhood is home to the city’s bustling Garland District, home to some of Spokane’s most iconic shops and restaurants, as well as the historic Garland Theater.

“It’s definitely becoming a really popular landing spot for homebuyers,” says Realtor Cody Snow of Keller Williams, a lifelong Spokane resident. “That wasn’t necessarily the case a few years ago. But the combination of nicely preserved homes, Garland Avenue — which has a really nice small-town main street feel — and proximity to Downtown Spokane make the neighborhood a really attractive option these days.”

U.S. Route 395 and Washington State Route 291 offers accessibility

Division Street, one of Spokane’s primary north-south corridors, runs along the eastern edge of North Hill, providing direct routes to the city center and connecting to the Spokane Transit Authority’s bus network. This accessibility is valuable for residents commuting to work or school. It’s a 3-mile drive from the neighborhood to Downtown Spokane. The nearest on-ramp to Interstate 90 is nearly 4 miles from the neighborhood, which can make trips to Spokane Valley or western Spokane communities a little time-consuming.
