Urban lifestyle in suburban area next to Downtown Kent
Situated next to downtown Kent, Scenic Hill provides an urban lifestyle with a suburban feel. The primarily residential area is close to the various international cuisines that make up the heart of Kent’s culture. “That area is pretty diverse, just like most areas around SeaTac,” says David Glenn, real estate broker at Coldwell Banker Danforth.
