Exploring Lennar’s 2 New Communities in Latah Valley

by Haydn Halsted

 

Lennar is expanding their reach in Spokane with two exciting new communities in the Latah Valley: Meadowlane Greens and Tangle Ridge. These developments are set to bring a range of beautiful new homes to the area, offering options for various budgets and lifestyles. If you’re considering a move to this part of Spokane, here’s a detailed look at what to expect.


 

Location Overview: Why Latah Valley?

The Latah Valley is a desirable area just southwest of downtown Spokane, offering a blend of natural beauty and convenient access to the city. Nestled along Highway 195, this location gives you the best of both worlds—peaceful suburban living with quick access to downtown Spokane and beyond. If you’ve heard me talk about Eagle Ridge before, you’ll know how much I rave about this well-planned community, and Lennar is now adding its own touch to this popular area.


 

Meadowlane Greens: From Golf Course to Community

Meadowlane Greens has an interesting backstory. It used to be a nine-hole, par-three golf course, but Lennar purchased the land and is now transforming it into a neighborhood with 31 homes. Priced between $450,000 and $650,000, these homes feature familiar floor plans like the Merlot, Chardonnay, and Cabernet, which offer three to four bedrooms and two to two-and-a-half baths. These range from 1,600 to 2,000 square feet, with larger options like the Hawthorne and Benton offering even more space.

One standout feature of Meadow Lane Greens is the larger-than-average backyard sizes. For a new construction community, this is a rare find, especially when compared to similar Lennar developments like Woodridge and Stone Hill. Some homes even offer extra privacy with no rear neighbors, backing onto open spaces or drainage areas.


 

Tangle Ridge: A More Exclusive Feel

Just up the hill, Tangle Ridge offers larger homes and a more exclusive community feel. Homes here are priced between $550,000 and $750,000 and include both two-story and single-level options. If you’re looking for more space or a premium view, this might be the spot for you. Several homes back up to incredible views of Tower Mountain and the surrounding natural beauty, and some lots even extend beyond their fences, giving you the option to create your own trail down to the walking paths below.


 

Traffic and Infrastructure Concerns

One of the main issues to be aware of in Latah Valley is the traffic. With only a few entry and exit points, it’s not uncommon to see bottlenecks, especially during rush hour or when construction is happening. Thankfully, improvements are on the way, with new bridges and road expansions planned to help alleviate some of this congestion.


 

Community Perks: Living in Latah Valley

Despite the traffic concerns, living in Latah Valley has plenty of perks. You’ll find miles of walking trails, multiple parks, splash pads, and community events like movies in the park. If you’re looking for a family-friendly neighborhood with a strong sense of community, this is a great option.

However, if you’re not into suburban life, Latah Valley might not be for you. It’s quintessential suburbia, but it comes with plenty of amenities that make it an attractive choice for families and those seeking a quieter lifestyle close to nature.


 

Privacy and Lot Layouts

One of the unique features of both Meadow Lane Greens and Tangle Ridge is the layout of the lots. Many homes enjoy more privacy than you might expect in a new development, with fewer direct neighbors or homes backing up to open spaces. This gives you a bit more breathing room compared to other, more densely packed communities.


 

Lennar’s Signature Features

Lennar’s homes in these communities come with their signature "Everything's Included" package, meaning your new home will come with quartz countertops, wood cabinets, vinyl fencing, and even landscaping like green grass in the backyard—all included in the price. There’s no need to worry about extra costs or upgrades after you move in. Lennar also tends to offer great incentives, especially as we head into the winter months, so you could benefit from interest rate cuts or closing cost coverage if you act soon.


If you’re looking for a well-planned, family-friendly community with modern homes and plenty of amenities, Latah Valley—especially the new Lennar communities—could be a perfect fit. Whether you prefer the more affordable Meadow Lane Greens or the larger, more exclusive homes in Tangle Ridge, there’s something for everyone.

However, be mindful of the potential traffic issues, and make sure to get in early if you want to secure a lot with the best views or the most privacy. Prices are still relatively low, and as construction progresses, those prices are likely to go up.
