Medical Relocation Made Easy: An Insider's Guide for Physicians Moving to Spokane

Welcome to Spokane: A Haven for Physicians

Calling ALL PHYSICIANS who are considering a relocation to Spokane! 

We know that finding the perfect home for you and your family is a top priority. Here is some valuable information to make your transition as seamless as possible. 

Proximity to Healthcare Excellence

As you know, Spokane is the largest healthcare, health sciences, and medical education hub from Seattle to Minneapolis, and Calgary to Salt Lake City. We understand that as a busy healthcare professional, you need to be close to your hospital or office. Spokane offers a variety of safe and desirable neighborhoods within a 20-minute proximity (if not even 10 minutes or less) of major medical facilities, making your daily commute a breeze.

Embrace the Spokane Lifestyle

The other main reason people move here? The lifestyle. For those outdoor enthusiasts, Spokane offers plenty of opportunities to explore and enjoy nature; hiking, biking, boating, fishing, skiing, and more! From mountain biking on Beacon Hill to camping on the St. Joe, from fly-fishing the Spokane river to skiing at 49° North, we have an activity for every one and every season.

And for those indoor cats, Spokane is a vibrant and thriving city with a rich cultural scene. Spokane offers a wide range of entertainment options, from concerts to plays, museums to movies, and everything in between offers something for everyone. Explore our comprehensive list of the "Best of Spokane", including top restaurants, the best kids' activities, and more.

Perks of living in the heart of the Inland Northwest

We are truly a big little city with around 231,100 people in the city and around 553,200 in the county. This keeps things thriving but inflation down. Traffic is minimal compared to the larger cities in the region and travel times to everything you need are usually less than 15 minutes. 

You also get more bang for your buck when living here. 

 

Education Opportunities for Families

We also understand that education is a critical consideration for families. Spokane schools boast top-rated public and private schools that will provide your children with the best opportunities to succeed.

Nurturing the Next Generation of Healthcare Providers

As a physician, you may also be interested in opportunities to teach and contribute to your field. Spokane is home to distinguished medical schools, such as the Washington State University Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine and Gonzaga University School of Nursing and Human Physiology, providing opportunities to mentor and educate the next generation of healthcare providers. 

Last but not least, we understand that travel is an essential part of your profession. Spokane International Airport offers 20 direct flights across the country, making it convenient for you to travel to conferences, important work events, and vacation with the family.  

Spokane offers a welcoming community, excellent schools, vibrant arts and culture scene, abundant outdoor activities, prestigious medical schools, and convenient travel options.

Whether you're looking at Sacred Heart and Holy Family, Providence affiliates; Deaconess and Valley Hospital, Multicare affiliates, or multiple speciality centers like Shriners Hospital - Spokane and St. Luke's Rehabilitation Center, we can't wait to help you along your journey and find the perfect home for you here in this incredible city.

What Other Medical Professionals are Saying

"Outstanding Experience with Our Real Estate Agent! We cannot recommend Tanya Starkel and the team at Avenue Stone Real Estate highly enough! From the very beginning of our home buying journey, Tanya went above and beyond to help us find our dream home, and the experience couldn't have been better. First and foremost, her flexibility was a remarkable asset. She made herself available at times that suited our busy schedules, ensuring we could view properties without any stress. Whenever we had questions or concerns, Tanya was just a call or text away. Tanya was incredibly patient throughout the process. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but she took the time to listen and really get to know us and our needs. With our six children and multiple pets, we had a lot of boxes to check in our home search. She understood exactly what we were looking for and never rushed us, allowing us to explore options until we found the perfect fit. Tanya’s friendly demeanor made every interaction enjoyable and reassuring, which we really appreciated during our home buying journey. Altogether, our experience with Tanya was absolutely top-tier. Her and her team were dependable and dedicated, always going the extra mile to ensure our needs were met. We are so grateful for her expertise and support in finding our dream home. If you are looking for a real estate agent who is committed to making your home-buying experience enjoyable and successful, look no further!" - Clay & Mandy S.

"This was our first experience going through the finding, negotiating, and purchasing of a home while living across the country. Through this entire process, Tanya was exactly what we needed. She was beyond helpful in every stage of the way. From multiple FaceTime walk throughs, to all the negotiating and scheduling needs, Tanya was always available, prompt and made us feel at so much ease. We cannot recommend her more and look forward to working again with her for our future real estate needs!" - Marcus & Kallie M.

"I was pleased to work with Tanya from Avenue Stone Real Estate and I as a first time home buyer from long distance could not be happier than working with her and her team. Tanya was knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic to help us patiently throughout the process. She was available all the times even weekends to answer our questions and address our concerns and I felt confident she had my best interests at heart during the process. She was incredible during negotiation and offer placement and secured us the house we loved. She had a great network of connections with all agencies including inspectors, lenders, and closing companies that made the process seamless and smooth for us. The level of her responsiveness and attention to our needs made this process a breeze and I am truly confident to give her the highest possible recommendations to anyone who wants to work with a professional outstanding team. A huge shout out to Tanya and her team." - Mehdi & Mina P.

"Tanya's professionalism and knowledge of the housing market clearly make her an exceptional realtor. Her marketing background and skill in showcasing our property put us in the best position possible, especially given the challenging market. We listed our house during the "big interest rate increase" of 2024 and we felt confident in her expertise in getting the job done. She and her staff made a stressful process manageable and we successfully sold our house in a short amount of time. She was very responsive to all inquiries we had and is an all around nice person. Someone we enjoyed working with throughout the process. This business can be very competitive and cutthroat, and she handled an exceptionally challenging realtor with grace and professionalism. We would highly recommend Tanya to anyone looking to buy or sell their home." - Carin & Jon E.
