Located exactly halfway between Seattle and Tacoma, Kent residents enjoy the excitement of each nearby metropolis while maintaining its own sense of community. A bustling economy driven by Boeing, Starbucks, REI, and Mikron Industries provides Kent’s booming population. Currently, over 84,000 people call Kent home, a number that is expected to rise to 100,000 within the next couple of years, likely making it the largest city in south King County.
Nestled in the Green River Valley between the Cascade Mountains on the east horizon and the Olympics to the west, Kent sits in the shadow of breathtaking Mt. Rainier. Kent itself is world-famous for its parks. 68 parks comprise 1,400 acres in and around Kent’s core. The city is also well-known for its yearly events, such as Cornucopia Days, which is the largest street fair in the Pacific Northwest. Kent is also the home of the Riverbend Golf complex—27 holes of top notch golf.
Once mostly farmland—for a time, it was considered the “Lettuce Capitol of the World”—Kent is now home to families who either work at one of the major companies located there or commute to Seattle or Tacoma. In either case, homes for sale in Kent range from mid-century ranches to exquisite new construction. Real estate in Kent is both attractive and affordable. Those fortunate enough to live here know there is no better place to make a home.
