Meridian is made up of a mix of attributes
Northeast of downtown Kent, Meridian includes vintage homes, newer developments and some secluded areas with a rural vibe. "This neighborhood is one of Kent's best, with its affordable cost of living, good schools and central location in King County," says Brad Decater, a Realtor with Decater Real Estate and a resident of the region for over 30 years. The city of Kent is known for suburban conveniences, shipping and industry; its location is halfway between Seattle and Tacoma.
Vintage and new homes, Pantera Lago Estates
Houses built in the 20th century include ramblers and split levels, priced from about $375,000 to $750,000. Contemporary homes in newer developments have higher price tags: $615,000 to $1.3 million. Monthly homeowners association fees in these communities may be $30 to $160.
Some of Meridian has a rural quality. "Properties on the east side might have larger plots of land," says David Glenn, a real estate broker with Coldwell Banker Danforth, who also has 15 years of experience as a contractor. With more space, some homes are relatively secluded; there might be enough acreage to keep horses.
Glenn says the east side of Kent is much bigger and has more people and infrastructure compared to the west side. Pantera Lago Estates is an option for those 55 and over. Complete with a clubhouse, pool and social activities, the community offers manufactured homes from $115,000 to $250,000.
Meridian has many different house styles, both older and newer.
