Suburban haven between the river and forest

Between the southern banks of the Spokane River and the Saltese Uplands Conservation Area is a modern suburbia intermixed with open fields, parks and quaint local eateries. Located 15 miles east of Spokane’s city center, the Greenacres neighborhood is home to a diverse housing market and suburban amenities without the bustling atmosphere found closer to downtown. The Greenacres settlement was developed at the beginning of the 20th century as a fruit farming community, and these rural roots are still seen in the small agricultural pockets that dot the area. However, these days the neighborhood is primarily residential, featuring a growing inventory of modern homes. “There’s a lot of development going on in the area, especially on the north side,” says Mike Bass, managing broker of Century 21 Beutler & Associates. “The homes are a bit bigger than in most of Spokane Valley, and the yards are bigger than Spokane. And you’re right next to some great wilderness areas.”

A Spokane hiker's paradise

Greenacres is home to a picturesque segment of the Spokane River and the Centennial Trail, popular with fishing enthusiasts and cyclists. The 37-mile Centennial Bike Trail runs along the river, following it from Nine Mile Falls to the Washington-Idaho state line. Local parents can take their kids to use the playground at Greenacres Park, which is also home to a picnic pavilion, multiuse play fields and a paved walking path. The 700-acre Saltese Uplands Conservation Area can be found just east of the neighborhood. Hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding are popular along the Uplands’ seven miles of trails, and outdoorspeople enjoy views of the wetlands below. There are a number of other large conservation areas within 5 to 10 miles of the neighborhood, including Antoine Peak Conservation Area and Cedar Grove Conservation Area, offering additional outdoor opportunities.

Fresh pastries and pizza pies

Most of the area's retail is concentrated in Liberty Lake and Vera, which border Greenacres to the east and west, respectively. Both areas feature a number of major chain retailers: the shopping centers in Vera are anchored by Walmart and Fred Meyer, while Liberty Lake is home to Safeway and popular organic grocer Yoke’s Fresh Market. While retail options within Greenacres itself are limited, there’s a surprising variety of popular cafes and restaurants in the neighborhood, including Bake My Day, where pastries are made fresh from scratch daily, and beloved old-school diner The Stupid Cow Cafe. Versalia Pizza has been serving up hand-crafted, wood-fired pizza since it first opened in 2009, and has developed a reputation as one of the best pizza joints in the region.
