Exploring Spokane’s Favorite Neighborhood: Kendall Yards

Welcome to Kendall Yards, one of Spokane’s most vibrant and rapidly growing neighborhoods. This master-planned community, located along West Summit Parkway, has become a hub for restaurants, shops, housing, and community events. Whether you’re considering moving here or just visiting, Kendall Yards is packed with things to see and do.

What is Kendall Yards?

Kendall Yards is a relatively new development in Spokane, with most of the area built since 2013 by Greenstone Homes. It’s located along the north side of the Spokane River, offering:

• Stunning river views
• Walkable streets
• A mix of apartments, townhomes, and single-family homes
• A bustling retail and dining district

If you’re unfamiliar with this area, you’re not alone—it’s still an untapped gem for many considering Spokane as their home.

Shops, Restaurants, and Activities

West Summit Parkway is the heart of Kendall Yards, lined with:

• Cafes: Visit New Love Coffee, also located in Liberty Lake, or grab a treat from The Scoop Ice Cream.
• Dining Options: From upscale spots like Sorella (French-Italian cuisine) to casual favorites like The Yards Bruncheon and Versalia Pizza.
• Entertainment: Enjoy live music at the Nest during the Thursday Farmers Market or sip wine at Nectar or Maryhill Winery.
• Community Spaces: Check out the local non-profit Spark Central, which offers arts and educational programs.

Kendall Yards is perfect for a day out—shop, dine, and stroll along the Centennial Trail, all in one neighborhood!

The Housing Options

Kendall Yards offers a variety of housing styles:

• High-end apartments: Perfect for renters looking for luxury and convenience.
• Single-family homes: Located deeper into the community for more privacy.
• Townhomes: Ideal for those wanting modern designs with easy access to the amenities.

Housing inventory in Kendall Yards is limited, and homes tend to sell quickly. The final phase of development is underway, adding over 100 townhomes to the area, along with potential commercial spaces.

What’s Next for Kendall Yards?

Greenstone’s master plan includes:

• Additional townhomes with garage access.
• Expanded commercial areas, possibly along the Centennial Trail near the Spokane River.
• New green spaces and roundabouts to enhance the neighborhood’s walkability.

“The new developments will blend seamlessly into the existing community while adding much-needed housing inventory and vibrant commercial spaces.”

Why Kendall Yards Stands Out

• Walkable Lifestyle: Everything you need—restaurants, coffee shops, parks—is within walking distance.
• Community Feel: From farmers markets to live music, Kendall Yards is a gathering place for Spokane residents.
• Trail Access: The Centennial Trail runs right through the neighborhood, connecting Nine Mile Falls to the Idaho border.

Kendall Yards is a blueprint for the future of Spokane’s housing developments—master-planned communities that integrate housing, retail, and recreation.
