We have a 2 1/2 bedroom, 2 full bathroom unit in Riverfalls Tower Apartments in Spokane. Before we moved in from another apartment below it, they updated the apartment with new laminate flooring, new stainless appliances, new washer and dryer, new window shades, etc.
We use it as a city getaway from our house in Coeur d'Alene. It is very convenient (few hundred feet) to the Spokane Club; 2 blocks from the downtown mall; 2 blocks from the Fox Theater and Bing Crosby Theater; and there are dozens of good restaurants, craft breweries and wine tasting rooms within a few minutes walk. We have a beautiful view of the Spokane Falls, city and mountains. The apartments include an outdoor pool and area with picnic tables and outdoor grills. There is also a nice community room to read papers and drink coffee and a moderate workout room with an elliptical, treadmill, and weight machine. The building is very secure as is the covered parking area.
The best part, however, is the staff. Cami, the building manager, is on top of everything. We recently changed to a larger apartment in the same building but were in Italy when the move was to occur. Cami handled the move for us including making the bed, setting up the bathrooms and kitchen, and even providing light food to make our return after a long day of flying easier. Ed, the maintenance man, is johnny on the spot to take care of any issues that arise. When packages are delivered Cami assures they are placed in the apartment if we are out of town. Cami also checks the apartment periodically over the winter when we are away for extended periods. We like these apartments very much and would not hesitate to recommend them to a friend.

I have lived here for a year and I will be moving soon to a bigger apartment in this same building. I can’t imagine living anywhere else. I spoiled by this place. It is worth the money. Cami is the best manager I’ve ever had and I’m not sure if she sleeps! The staff is helpful and prompt. It’s great to know the other residents here, because it’s quiet, clean and safe. It’s really a very friendly community. The location is amazing. You can walk to my fresh basket from here, as well as the city nightlife and shopping. I’ve saved $100/month in gas living in this location. Life is short, come live it in paradise, because this is it. The memories made here have been lasting and wonderful.
We lived at the Riverfalls Tower Apartments from the start of 2020 to spring of 2023. We had a 2 bed/2 full bath with an east facing view of the Monroe Bridge and the Spokane Falls. The apartment layout was amazing (great use of 1,100 sq ft) and the incorporated, gated parking garage was incredible. These apartments come with the best property manager in town, Ryan, and a phenomenal maintenance team. We’ve never received better treatment, attention, and care as a renter. The property is newly renovated, the pool and common areas are well kept and the other residents are great. They set the bar very high for what we expect from anywhere else.
I lived at Riverfalls for 5 years. My apartment had a view to the Monroe bridge and the Spokane Falls. It’s the iconic Spokane view on postcards. In addition to the best view in town, this building has the best property manager in town. Cami responds to everyone’s request promptly regardless of whether it’s midnight or midday. I have never seen a better or more dedicated manager. She is the BEST! She always smiles and goes above and beyond to help. The property is newly renovated. It’s within walking distance of a grocery store and the downtown mall. I moved to Seattle otherwise I would have lived here forever.
If I need to tell my overall expression of Riverfalls Tower in one word, it is 'overpriced'. And I had experience with rental apartments in more than one state and twice in Spokane. I would not recommend it to a friend.
First, the good things about the place. The stuff is extremely polite, including the leasing lady. The building is well cared and overall in good shape. I like the community room, the fitness place (which is small but adequate as it is barely used), elevators always clean. The tenants are very decent people and no noise or other problem. There is a closed parking space in the building, which is gated and the building itself has a secured entrance. So, safety is not an issue here.
Despite being well maintained, the building is old, more than 30, close to 40 yrs, although not my expertise, I got the impression that it lacks the adequate infrastructure to support the amenities offered by the management in return of an above-Spokane average rent. I moved to a unit which was remodeled after the last tenant moved out. The rent was increased, by more than 25%, because a fireplace, electric water heater and washer/dryer were newly setup, as part of remodeling. The rent increase is fair, or this is what I believed at the very beginning, as these additions can be considered to take the apartment to the 'luxurious' status, if only what was offered was actually what I really got. Soon after moving in, I figured out that tap water in bathroom was cutoff off whenever the washer was running. The ac unit on the wall was my initial preference for heating during the first cold days of december, till i got an electricity bill close to 25% of the full month's rent, which was shocking as I spent more than half of the day outside. The other option, as recommended by the leasing lady, the fireplace, first seemed to be better in heating and cheaper, till just in a couple of weeks it became obvious it creates enormous amounts of soot, when black stains started to crawl up white plastic, walls, shelves, everything, even inside the refrigerator. The heat insulation at the exterior walls/windows must be terrible as I have never witnessed in any other apartment heat flowing from inside out at such a high rate, and I lived in midwest for some years which can be pretty chilly in winters. Another issue, the fact that electricity heater was supposed to be kept running for a good 5-6 minutes before actually hot water starts to come down, does not seem such a big deal at first but becomes bugging when the electricity bills start to drain your pocket especially in winter.
Although the building is conveniently located, meaning within walking distance to downtown, and in a nice neighborhood, I would still not consider it the best, as there are not many stores in the close vicinity around nor casual walking is pleasant with the Monroe and Walnut roads creating borders cutting your walking path at east and west. My unit was on one of the upper floors, so I had a fantastic view. However, all through the summer time, the balcony was invaded by a horde of flying bugs, which probably live in the untamed green area down at the foot of the building and were crazed by the reflection of light from the windows. Even if you leave the apartment in better condition then you moved in, it does not help much with respect to deposit refund because the management wants to have their own people clean the carpets and it costs minimum $150 depending on size of the apartment.
