Riverside is Spokane’s downtown heartbeat, where city energy meets the sound of Spokane Falls. Anchored by the 100-acre Riverfront Park, the neighborhood delivers sunset walks over the bridges, public art, and seasonal ice skating, while big-ticket shows roll through the First Interstate Center for the Arts and orchestral nights glow at the historic Fox Theater. Shopping and dining cluster at River Park Square, with indie boutiques and chef-driven spots spilling onto brick-lined streets.
Daily life here is surprisingly easy. The reimagined Spokane Public Library Central Library doubles as a community hub with river views and maker spaces, and the Spokane Transit Authority keeps commutes simple, including rapid connections across Spokane and to the nearby medical district. Historic residences and lofts mix with new high-rises, while leafy blocks transition toward Browne’s Addition, adding a quiet counterpoint within minutes.
Families find choice within Spokane Public Schools, from neighborhood schools to magnet and option programs, and higher education is close at hand in the University District. Weekends bring festivals, arena concerts, and riverside cycling on the Centennial Trail; weekdays mean an espresso downstairs and a walkable commute. Regional access is straightforward, with major routes threading through Spokane County.
