A historic neighborhood near Downtown Spokane

Historic Community Great Location River Outdoors

West Central is a historic neighborhood just two miles away from Downtown Spokane. West Central is home to Nettleton's Addition Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This charming neighborhood blends the old and new with 100-year-old houses, modern single-family homes, and trendy apartments and condos. The Spokane River curves graciously around the west and south sides of the neighborhood, providing residents with plenty of waterfront green space like Centennial Trail Park, Herbert M. Hamblen Conservation Area, and Riverfront Park, a local favorite for its gondola rides, ice rink, and other amenities. Locally owned coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques dot the area, contributing to West Central’s strong sense of community, but residents definitely take full advantage of living near some of the city’s best shopping, dining, and entertainment.
