According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the CDP has a total area of {{convert|1.2|sqmi}}, all of it land.<ref name="CensusQF2020">{{cite web |title=QuickFacts Town and Country CDP, Washington |url=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/townandcountrycdpwashington |website=census.gov |publisher=U.S. Census Bureau |access-date=21 August 2022}}</ref>

The city of [[Spokane, Washington|Spokane]] surrounds the CDP on three sides: the east, south and west.<ref name="CityMap">{{cite web |title=City of Spokane Official City Map |url=https://static.spokanecity.org/download/gistransfer/pubmaps/citymap.pdf |website=spokanecity.org |publisher=City of Spokane |access-date=June 13, 2022}}</ref> The city's street grid continues into Town and Country uninterrupted in the east, though it breaks down in the west along the bluff leading up to [[Five Mile Prairie, Spokane|Five Mile Prairie]]. The bulk of the CDP lies on flat ground like the surrounding north side of Spokane. Along the west, however, the terrain rises rapidly from Town and Country's elevation of roughly 2,000 feet to over 2,300 at the crest over less than 1,000 feet of distance in places.<ref name="SpoNWQuad">{{cite web |title=Spokane NW Quadrangle |url=https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/ht-bin/tv_browse.pl?id=79e7aa611db2d7d2e3ec7b211014750b |website=usgs.gov |publisher=U.S. Geological Survey |access-date=June 13, 2022}}</ref>

As is the case with the city of Spokane to the east and south, Town and Country blends into its neighbor to the north, the CDP of [[Country Homes, Washington]], seamlessly.<ref name="SpoNWQuad"/>

Francis Avenue, carrying [[Washington State Route 291]], serves as Town and Country's southern border, beyond which lies the [[North Hill, Spokane|North Hill]] neighborhood. Cedar Road is the western border, beginning on the flatland and then climbing the bluff towards the crest and into Five Mile Prairie. Most of the northern border with Country Homes runs along Country Homes Boulevard. Division Street, carrying [[U.S. Route 2 in Washington|U.S. Route 2]] was the eastern border until 2008, when the city of Spokane annexed some of Town and Country. Division is still the eastern border from Country Homes Boulevard south to Lincoln Road. South of Lincoln the border works its way around the Holy Cross Cemetery, which used to be part of Country Homes, before following Atlantic Street, which runs parallel to and one block to the west of Division, for the four southernmost blocks of the CDP.<ref name="CityMap"/>

Most of Town and Country is zoned as low density residential, but there are commercial zones along Francis Avenue in the south and Division Street on the east.<ref name="Zoning">{{cite web |title=Spokane County Generalized Zoning Map |url=https://www.spokanecounty.org/DocumentCenter/View/126/Zoning-MapUrban-PDF?bidId= |website=spokanecounty.org |publisher=Spokane County |access-date=13 June 2022}}</ref>
