Rural exurb in between Spokane and CDA
Located on the Washington-Idaho border, nearly equidistant from Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, the secluded Otis Orchards-East Farms neighborhood is a semi-rural semi-suburban enclave that’s close to both shopping and the great outdoors. "This is a great location for buyers looking to commute to either Spokane or Coeur d'Alene. Most of the homes here have bigger lots and are close to open areas, so you have a lot of comfort and privacy," says Realtor Travis Litras with Exit Realty.
Acres of yard space
Residential development in the area began in earnest in the 60s and 70s, a fact which is visible in its housing styles. Ranch-style homes and split-levels are common throughout the neighborhood. There are also a fair number of more recently built new traditional homes, though not as many as there are in more densely developed areas in Liberty Lake and Spokane Valley. Most single-family homes in Otis Orchards-East Farms sell for between $450,000 and $700,000, and prices often depend as much on lot size as square footage. Multi-acre plots are common here, as are backyard stables.
East Valley-West Valley rivalry
Most students in the neighborhood attend local public schools, which are overseen by the East Valley School District. East Farms Elementary and East Valley Middle School both have a C-plus grade on Niche. East Valley High School has a B-minus grade and is known for its rivalry with West Valley High, which is maintained via multiple annual competitions between the schools, including the Golden Plunger wrestling tournament.
Conservation areas galore
While Otis Orchards-East Farms itself is mostly a mixture of farmland and homes, the community is bordered to the north and south by the foothills of the Selkirk range, which feature nearly endless opportunities for hiking and horseback riding. Antoine Peak, Saltese Uplands and Cedar Grove conservation areas are all within a 5-mile drive of the neighborhood, offering a diverse array of mixed-use trails, as well as some of the prettiest views in Greater Spokane. The Spokane River runs along the southern edge of the neighborhood, and the segment of the river bordering Otis Orchards is known for its excellent fishing. Spokane’s famous Centennial Bike Trail runs along the river for 37 miles, offering cycling enthusiasts a direct route to Spokane Valley and Central Spokane.
Liberty Lake and Stateline shopping
As its agriculturally-infused name suggests, Otis Orchards-East Farms itself doesn’t have much in the way of shopping or dining. That said, the neighboring towns of Liberty Lake, Washington and Stateline, Idaho offer plenty of both. Locals can pick up groceries at the Liberty Lake Safeway or visit one of the growing suburb’s popular bars or restaurants, like Tailbreaker Cider or Versalia Pizza. Stateline, meanwhile, is home to a number of retailers, including Cabela’s and Walmart.
Interstate 90 to Spokane or Idaho
It’s virtually impossible to live in Otis Orchards-East Farms without relying heavily on a personal vehicle, as there is no public transportation in the area. The community does have easy access to State Route 290 and Interstate 90, which run along the north and south sides of the neighborhood, respectively. It’s about 17 miles to Coeur d’Alene via I-90, and 19 miles to Downtown Spokane. The smaller but still bustling cities of Spokane Valley and Post Falls Idaho are both a little less than 10 miles away.
