Q&A: Are There Any Up-and-Coming Areas in Spokane?

Q: Are there any neighborhoods in Spokane that are considered “up-and-coming”?
Absolutely. Spokane has several areas seeing steady growth thanks to new development, affordability, and increased buyer demand. These neighborhoods offer strong potential whether you're a first-time buyer, upgrading for more space, or exploring investment opportunities.


Q: Which areas are growing the fastest?
Several neighborhoods stand out right now:

Kendall Yards / West Central

With new restaurants, mixed-use development, and walkable access to the Centennial Trail, this area continues to transform. Buyers love the urban feel and long-term upside.


🌲 South Hill 

While South Hill is well known, some pockets with older homes and quiet streets are seeing renewed interest. Buyers appreciate the charm, proximity to parks, and consistent property values.


🏘️ Spokane Valley: Greenacres, Millwood & Otis Orchards

If you want more space and affordability, the Valley is on the rise. New construction, larger lots, and easy I-90 access are fueling growth.


🌅 Liberty Lake, Medical Lake & Colbert

These suburban-edge communities are gaining momentum thanks to outdoor recreation, good schools, and continued development. Ideal for buyers craving a quieter lifestyle with room to grow.


Q: Why should buyers pay attention to these neighborhoods?
Up-and-coming areas often offer the perfect window: prices that are still accessible and long-term appreciation potential. If you want to get into the Spokane market before competition ramps up, these spots are smart places to start.
