Why Live in South Kent

South Kent, about a mile from downtown, may appeal to homebuyers whether they'll work in the city or commute elsewhere. "There's definitely lots of industry in this area. Probably the biggest benefit is you are close to two freeways; there's super easy access for commuters," says Bart Chmielewski, a real estate agent with Windermere Real Estate/PSK Inc. Kent is south of Seattle and north of Tacoma, in the Green River Valley. Over half of South Kent is industrial or commercial, and about a third is residential, with a balanced mix of single-family homes and apartments. Manufacturing facilities and other businesses are close to home, and it's a short compute to major employers. "Kent has big companies like Blue Origin, for instance, and a giant Amazon fulfillment warehouse," Chmielewski says. The headquarters for space technology company Blue Origin is about 4 miles north of the area. Most homes are one- or two-bedroom bungalows or ramblers built in the 1920s to 1940s. Listings are limited: five homes had sold over a year as of March 2025. The median price was about $412,000. "You're far enough away from Seattle that you're not paying double the price," Chmielewski says. Public
