An outskirt town turned suburb
Motorists on West 9 Mile Road might quickly cruise by Balboa/South Indian Trail on their way to Spokane, but it’s more than just a pass-through neighborhood. “We’re seeing a transitionary period right now,” says Christopher Savage, the former Community Assembly Representative for Balboa/South Indian Trail. “There used to be more older residents, but it’s becoming more suburban as newer families of 3 or 4 are starting to move in.” This family-friendly development can be seen through the area’s well-rated public schools and convenient access to a few small parks. And with downtown Spokane just a 6-mile drive away, there are outdoor adventures and dining options for every palate. “We’re the kind of people that wave when we go by. It’s a welcoming place to live,” Savage adds.
Residents of South Indian Trail often bike through the neighborhood.

Also nearby is the Dwight Merkel Sports Complex, offering outdoor athletic fields and courts, and areas including the Carson Park playground and splash pad and Joe Albi Skatepark. “A lot of people walk their dogs or ride their bikes through the trails at Riverside State Park,” Savage adds.
