Communities / Summerwood
Summerwood Colbert real estate is worth a look if you want a larger lot with mature pine trees and a neighborhood trail setting. Around Saddle Hill Road and Summerwood Drive, lots are typically about an acre, based on my experience in the area. You may also see the neighborhood written as Summer Wood. Individual parcels vary, so we will check the recorded size for any home you consider.
You can also get to know the surrounding area through my Kimberly Park community guide and Colbert community guide as well. Tell me what appeals to you, and we can use that to choose where to look next.
Buying or selling in Summerwood
For buyers: When comparing Summerwood homes, I would look at how the house, mature trees, outdoor space, and trail connections work together. A parcel’s recorded size is useful context, but so are the part you can use comfortably and the work you would take on. We can compare those details alongside the price and condition.
For sellers: My North Spokane transaction examples include the $815,000 Saddle Hill Road sale, where preparation began months before listing and included professional staging. That example shows how I approach preparation and the negotiations that continue after a buyer is in place.

Getting to Know Life Around Summerwood
I’d explore the neighborhood setting first, then try the routes toward the Northside services you would use. The balance between time at home and trips out is part of what makes a location work.
Neighborhood Trails and Outdoor Time
Summerwood has private walking and equestrian trails through the neighborhood, with trails backing many of the properties. For someone who enjoys getting outside, that can be an appealing part of everyday life. These are neighborhood amenities for authorized users, not public trailheads. We can confirm the specific trail connections and access for a home you are considering.
The wider Little Spokane River area also offers walking, jogging, and biking opportunities. Let’s look at the routes and permitted uses that fit your plans rather than assume every path connects or allows the same activities.
Northside Errands and an Evening Out
Wandermere’s dining and shopping are useful driving destinations from Summerwood. Fred Meyer combines groceries, garden supplies, home goods, and clothing, making it a practical place to work through the weekly list.
For a meal or drinks, Twigs Wandermere has a generous patio overlooking a pond, with heaters and fireplaces. Inside, tall ceilings and comfortable surroundings make it a welcoming stop. Village Centre Cinemas offers multiple screens, arcade games, popcorn, and sodas for a local movie night. Try the drive from the actual home so these outings have a place in your picture of the neighborhood.
Comparing Summerwood Homes and Lots
A wooded acre can offer separation from neighboring homes without being a full acre of open lawn. I would look at where the trees sit, how much level yard is usable, and how the driveway and outdoor maintenance fit your plans. If a trail backs the property, we should also check its location and the access rights that come with the home.
Kimberly Park offers a similar combination of larger lots, mature pines, and equestrian trails. For a smaller-lot comparison, Silver Pines Estates typically has lots around one-third to half an acre. Comparing those settings can help clarify how much outdoor space you want to maintain.
As we compare Summerwood homes, we’ll look at bedroom placement, stairs, basement space, and the yard you’d actually use. Start with my home-buying guide to connect that wish list with a budget, inspection plan, and purchase strategy.
A Few More Places to Get to Know
North Spokane Library, 44 E Hawthorne Road, is worth keeping in mind if library visits belong in your week. If schools are part of your decision, we can check Mead school boundaries by address.
Colbert Elementary is on East Greenbluff Road, another area landmark to include when comparing school routes.

If Summerwood sounds like your kind of setting, let’s connect that feeling with a floor plan and property you’ll enjoy using. I’m Josiah Boone. We can talk through the outdoor space, trail access, and everyday trips alongside your budget and timing.
