Millwood blends small-town ease with river access and real history. Tucked along the Spokane River between Spokane and Spokane Valley in Spokane County, the city grew around the century-old Inland Empire Paper Company mill, and that heritage still shapes its walkable core—think brick storefronts, tree-lined streets, and the beloved Argonne corridor. Weekends often mean a ride on the Spokane River Centennial Trail, a coffee from a local roaster, or plane-spotting at nearby Felts Field, the region’s historic general-aviation airport. Commuters appreciate quick connections and frequent buses via Spokane Transit, while cyclists enjoy flat routes along Upriver Drive.
Families value strong academics in the West Valley School District, with neighborhood elementary schools, arts and STEM programs, and competitive athletics. The community hub is the Argonne Library, offering story times, maker kits, and quiet study spaces. Millwood City Park hosts seasonal gatherings and a popular farmers market, and outdoor lovers can launch kayaks or stroll shaded riverbanks within minutes of home.
Housing ranges from vintage bungalows to mid-century homes and newer infill, often with generous yards. With indie eateries, nearby trailheads, and downtown culture just minutes away, Millwood delivers an easygoing lifestyle with room to grow.
