Opportunity, located between Spokane and Liberty Lake, is a residential and commercial Spokane Valley neighborhood with a broad valley floor and a car-oriented street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sprague Ave and Sullivan Rd corridor, where auto shops, local diners, and practical storefronts line wide arterials under big skies. Mid-century ramblers and postwar subdivisions sit alongside light industrial pockets, giving the streetscape a working, utilitarian feel. The Spokane Valley Heritage Museum & Historical Society adds local context in a modest, hands-on setting. Nearby, Arbor Crest Wine Cellars brings a destination perch above the valley, while the Spokane Valley Farmers’ Market sets a seasonal rhythm. Parks and the Centennial Trail tie daily routines to the river and open space.
