Sunset is a Renton neighborhood that’s growing fast
On the southeast corner of Lake Washington, you’ll find the aptly named Sunset neighborhood of Renton, which offers great views of the lake to the west and lots of opportunity nearby. This residential community is a fast-growing neighborhood with convenient access to highways, recreation and major employers. “It’s evolving, and there are a lot of improvements coming in,” says local real estate advisor Christi Fiedler with Engel & Volkers. “The Landing is a pretty new area just down the hill with a lot of shopping and dining. They’ve put in some condos and are updating a lot of the buildings.” Located just northeast of downtown Renton and along Interstate 405, Sunset gives residents easy access to one of the region’s main highways, but everything they need is close to home.
The Sunset neighborhood offers local community and Pacific Northwest beauty.

The park has several sports facilities, including tennis courts, basketball courts and a baseball field.

The Landing for shopping and Boeing for jobs
When you feel like hitting the town for shopping, dining or entertainment, head west to The Landing, a popular destination full of stores, restaurants and attractions. Fiedler recommends Santa Fe Mexican Grill for a meal closer to home. You can shop for groceries at the local Safeway on Sunset Boulevard. There is also a Grocery Outlet for discount food items and Viet-Wah Asian Food Market nearby, both popular with locals. The nearby Boeing Renton Factory provides jobs for 12,000 people, assembling an average of 47 airplanes per month. The city tries to minimize noise issues at the facility and the nearby airport by limiting jet takeoffs to the northern end of the runway facing the water.

Sunset Boulevard and Interstate 405 make getting around easy
The proximity to Sunset Boulevard makes it easy for residents to go east and west through Renton. The neighborhood’s location along Interstate 405 gives you an easy start to any commute throughout the Puget Sound region. Current projects are underway to improve the commuting experience as well. “They’re widening the I-405 corridor, so once that’s done, it will be easier to get back and forth to the east side,” Fiedler says. The widening of the interstate will give residents an easier commute to the thriving business center of Bellevue. You’ll also have an easy 15-mile drive to downtown Seattle and just 8 miles to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
