Downtown's 100-acre Riverfront Park, transformed after Expo '74, features walking trails, the restored 1909 Looff Carousel, and views of Spokane Falls. Housing options span from historic properties in Browne's Addition to newer developments in Kendall Yards. Current rental rates range from $1,046 for studios to $2,364 for four-bedroom units.
The city centers around its natural landmarks and cultural institutions. The University District, home to Gonzaga University, enhances the area's educational landscape. The restored Davenport Hotel and Fox Theater represent the city's architectural heritage. Residents enjoy access to numerous lakes and rivers, with Mount Spokane and four additional ski areas within reach.
