Quiet life on the Spokane River in Peaceful Valley, next to downtown
The Spokane River rushes beside Peaceful Valley, a neighborhood just outside Downtown Spokane. It feels like a remote enclave within city limits, defined by its forested hillsides, colorful historic homes, quiet river access points and community parks that hide under the Maple Street Bridge. But some of Spokane’s trendiest neighborhoods and biggest events are within walking distance of this tucked-away community, atop city steps in Browne's Addition, across the river in Kendall Yards or just up Main Avenue in the city center.
Historic homes, modern condos and more with river views
On sidewalk-lined blocks between wooded bluffs and the Spokane River, you’ll see everything from colorful early 20th-century Craftsman bungalows to custom waterfront homes to multifamily properties. “Peaceful Valley is an eclectic area for sure, the homes are very different. The layouts can be odd and unique,” says Naphtali Branam, a broker with Live Real Estate who’s served the greater Spokane area for seven years. “It’s a tight neighborhood; the houses are close together, and there aren’t big yards. It’s almost more of a cliffside resort style of building, when you’re right up on a river or lake, and houses are built into the hill. You’re not getting your big backyard, but there’s plenty of room to walk the dog.”
Historic single-family homes sell from the lower $300,000s to the lower $400,000s. Luxury condos with views of the Spokane River sell from the mid-$600,000s to the upper $700,000s. Peaceful Valley has a median single-family home price in the lower $400,000s. That’s lower than nearby Browne's Addition, but higher than downtown Spokane and West Central.

Quiet community life close to exciting Spokane event spaces
As its name suggests, Peaceful Valley is a quieter part of Spokane, where locals spend time playing pick-up basketball games at local parks or floating kayaks down the Spokane River. Residents are also within minutes of the buzziest entertainment venues, events and neighborhoods in Spokane. “Right across the river, you could walk to it, is one of the most up-and-coming communities in Spokane, Kendall Yards,” Branam says. “There’s food, wineries and farmers markets all summer long.”
