Five Mile

Prairie neighborhoods with open views north of town.

About Five Mile

Sitting atop a bluff, this neighborhood has the highest elevations on the north side of Spokane, with the privilege of watching both the sunset and sunrise over the city. What was once a rural, prairie landscape has slowly been transformed into a suburban community. With restaurants and shopping plazas nearby, you can enjoy a peaceful neighborhood with most amenities at your convenience.

  • Quiet streets

Our take

A long, sprawling prairie with views and newer homes without going up to Mead. Sometimes a bit windy, but the views and privacy pay off.
