Kennydale
Suburban Neighborhood in Renton, Washington
King County 98056
Tucked at the southern end of Lake Washington in Renton, Kennydale offers gorgeous homes, lakeside beaches and a convenient, central location. “This is a highly desired community that’s been expanding rapidly. It’s also close to Gene Coulon Park, which is the most popular park in the Renton area,” says Realtor and Renton resident David Sappenfield.
In this trendy neighborhood, recently constructed contemporary homes with geometric angles and spacious windows provide unobstructed views of the lake. You'll also find ramblers with craftsman and midcentury details, offering old-school charm. Prices here reflect the area’s coveted location steps away from Lake Washington, ranging from $1.2 million for a bungalow to $3 million for new construction.
Renton School District serves the area, including Kennydale Elementary School, rated above average for test scores by Great Schools. The school offers students an extensive online library with digital books, games and educational resources. At Risdon Middle School, students can participate in lots of educational extracurricular activities, including Creative Writing Club, Robotics Club and Chess Club. Grades nine through twelve attend Hazen High School, which is rated above average for test scores and college readiness by Great Schools. Students are supported for life post-graduation by the school’s career center, which offers support for applications, internships, apprenticeships and financial aid.
The area's star attraction is the majestic Lake Washington, which encompasses over 30 square miles. In Kennydale, proximity to the lake means convenient access whenever you want it. Have a lake day at Kennydale Beach Park, a modest beach with a playground and designated swimming area. Walking distance to most of the neighborhood, Kennydale Beach Park is the perfect place to picnic on the water with friends and family. Before heading to the beach, get a morning pick-me-up at Cloudbreak Cafe. This cozy neighborhood coffee shop specializes in house-made coffee syrups and offers breakfast sandwiches or pastries that you can bring on the go.
If you’re looking for more action, visit Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. Spend an afternoon at the public beach, launch a boat or kayak onto the lake, play tennis, or spend the day fishing on the pier. Kids will love the large play area and can wade or swim safely in the lifeguard-monitored swimming area.
Just two blocks away from Coulon Beach Park is The Landing, a dining and retail area that will meet all your daily needs. Here you'll find grocery stores, home goods stores, a movie theater and restaurants like Exit 5 Korean BBQ, which serves classic Korean dishes in a modern, warehouse-style interior. Or try Trencher's Kitchen and Tap, which specializes in a rotating global beer list alongside your favorite pub grub.
With its premier location, convenient access to Lake Washington and proximity to dining and retail, Kennydale might be the perfect neighborhood to buy a home in Renton.
