I’ve lived all over the country and been all oer the world.
Now live in Spokane, WA. Best place ever. The South Hill area has beautiful homes and a terrific senior complex where I’ve lived for 18 years. Sidewalks shoved, maintenance comes instantly to fix whatever. Walk to Safeway, Trader Joe and two locally owned markets. And 2 banks.
My daughter lives here now. Her husband died a couple of years ago, and she sold their huge house on 10 acres, bought a nice house not far from me. Her best friend since high school moved from CA to Spokane. She and her husband make tons of money as civil engineers. They live in very $$$$ neighborhood about a mile away.
IOW, Spokane is safe, pleasant, friendly and has a lot to offer residents in eery price range. .
Our daughter just gave birth at Providence Sacred Heart hospital close to you. It’s a great hospital! They live in the Valley nearby.
South Hill is a wonderful place, indeed!
