Manito, a walkable neighborhood near Manito Park and Downtown Spokane
Manito is a neighborhood that’s often thought of as the center of Spokane ’s South Hill, thanks to the stunning gardens and popular community events at Manito Park. For blocks around this enormous green space, you'll often see people jogging and walking dogs along blocks of historic bungalows and cottages surrounded by creative landscaping. Neighbors love living in a place where home is a short walk or bike ride from small businesses and parks. Importantly, Manito is also a convenient 2-mile commute from the much busier Downtown Spokane and Cliff-Cannon's bustling medical district.

Craftsman homes on walkable, tree-lined streets on the South Hill
Manito is laid out in city blocks, but its creative architecture and thick tree canopy give it a tranquil, suburban feel. “Manito Boulevard is tree-lined. There’s a pathway that people run and walk their dogs on, you’ll even see walkers in the street that you just kind of yield to,” says Traci Bemis, a residential broker with EXP Realty who’s served the Spokane area for 9 years. “That boulevard takes you through multiple parks and gardens, with the neighborhood sprinkled in and around it.” While housing styles are as varied here as the kinds of flowers people plant in their front gardens, you’ll notice lots of Craftsman bungalows, Cape Cods and Tudor Revival cottages. Most single-family homes sell from the mid-$300,000s to the mid-$800,000s. Especially large houses sell from the upper $800,000s to the lower $1 millions.
Manito’s median single-family home price is in the upper $500,000s. That’s higher than nearby Cliff-Cannon, Lincoln Heights and Comstock, but lower than Rockwood.

Four seasons of fun at Manito Park and Cannon Hill Park
Manito Park is a stunning centerpiece for Manito and the greater South Hill area. Visitors explore its five beautifully landscaped gardens: the Nishinomiya Tsutakawa Japanese Garden, Rose Hill, Lilac Garden, Ferris Perennial Garden and Duncan Garden. The Gaiser Conservatory’s displays bloom even through snowy Spokane winters, not far from the park’s popular sledding hill. You can also find playgrounds, picnic areas, the Park Bench Cafe and a seasonal splash pad within the sprawling destination park. Cannon Hill Park is also in the neighborhood, offering another playground and a peaceful walking path around a small pond.

Walkability, summer concerts and local neighborhood council
Between Manito’s small businesses, popular parks and pretty front yard gardens, the neighborhood has the kind of walkable, friendly vibe that means neighbors are often out and about meeting one another. Manito Park is a community hub every day, but it’s especially lively during an annual summer concert series. “We live in Rockwood, but my family walks or bikes over and brings a picnic blanket, some wine, and some food. It’s all free and really cool. It’s a huge draw, but it still feels like a little hidden secret,” Bemis says. You can also stay up-to-date on local issues by joining the Manito/Cannon Hill Neighborhood Council.
