Millwood
A tiny independent city east of Spokane along the Spokane River — a former mill town with its own zip code, walkable historic core, and a tight 10-minute downtown commute.
Millwood is an independent small city in Spokane County, Washington, founded as a paper-mill town along the Spokane River and surrounded today by the city of Spokane Valley. It carries an outsized character for its size — its own walkable historic commercial core along Argonne Road, a working civic identity separate from the Valley, and a housing stock that skews to early-1900s through 1960s single-family on tight lots. Median sales typically run $350K to $525K.
Full neighborhood guide forthcoming. The city is anchored by its mill heritage and by Spokane River frontage with Centennial Trail access. Buyers come for walkable historic-town character, a tight 10-minute downtown commute via Trent Avenue, and West Valley School District alignment. Inventory is genuinely limited given the city’s small footprint; expect to wait for the right listing.
