Opportunity was platted in 1905 around today's Sprague Avenue and Pines Road and got its name from a naming contest won by a local farmer's daughter. That intersection is now the hub of the city's commercial area, and the Appleway Trail crosses Pines Road nearby. (HistoryLink, Spokesman-Review)
The South Valley climbs toward the hills south of the valley floor, where some homes have views across the valley. Our featured listing in Myron Estates is a 1976 daylight rancher with mountain views and walking trails nearby. Confirm the school district for any address on the city's district map.
