Minnehaha Homes for Rent

Minnehaha, a neighborhood in East Spokane, has evolved significantly since its development in the 1890s. Located along the north bank of the Spokane River, this primarily residential area features ranch-style homes, bungalows, and split-levels, many with spacious yards up to a quarter acre. The neighborhood is renowned for its recreational opportunities, with access to the Centennial Trail, Minnehaha Rocks, and Beacon Hill. Residents can enjoy activities such as golfing at the nearby Esmerelda Golf Course, hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, swimming, and kayaking on the Spokane River. Minnehaha Park, a 39-acre green space, connects to Beacon Hill, offering dramatic city views and numerous climbing routes. The Centennial Trail, a 40-mile path, provides scenic river views and extends to the Idaho border. While Minnehaha itself has limited commercial areas, it is less than a mile from the shops and restaurants of Hillyard. Notable dining options include Knight’s Diner, housed in a converted railcar, and Rincon Tapatio, known for its authentic Mexican cuisine. The neighborhood's public schools are managed by the Spokane Public School District, with Cooper Elementary and Rogers High School receiving above-average ratings. Minnehaha is well-connected to other parts of Spokane via roads like Freya Street and Euclid Avenue, and it is about 3 miles from the nearest Interstate 95 on-ramp. The area has a low crime risk compared to the national average, making it a practical choice for families and outdoor activity enthusiasts.
