The northeast side of Spokane extends roughly seven miles (11 km) north from Downtown Spokane into the suburban Mead area. It is bounded on the west by Division St., the city's north-south meridian, and is bounded on the south by Interstate 90. The northeast side is mostly residential, but contains several large retail districts as well as Gonzaga and Whitworth Universities. Retail centers such as the Northtown Mall and Northpointe Plaza lie along Division Street.

The south side of Spokane is largely characterized Downtown, as well as Browne's Addition and the South Hill, which are home to Spokane's oldest residential areas. From Downtown, the view of the South Hill is dominated by evergreen trees and two large man-made features: Sacred Heart Medical Center, which is Spokane's largest hospital, and the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, seat of the Episcopal Diocese of Spokane, and a magnificent example of modern English Gothic architecture.
