Cascade
Suburban Neighborhood in Renton, Washington
King County 98055, 98058
Townhomes and single-family suburbia
Cascade is about a 50-50 split between renters and owners. For those looking to own, condos and townhomes range from $250,000 to $500,000 based on square footage. For single-family living, midcentury ranch styles start at $600,000, and larger contemporary homes go for $800,000. As the area grows in population, large five-bedroom homes built in the 2020s are cropping up, at price points around $1 million. The streets are lined with sidewalks and tucked away from the busy thoroughfares of Route 167 and Interstate 405.

Riverside fun
Cascade Park is loved by the kids because of a recently expanded playground. There is also a trail for running or biking through the park's 10 acres. Further north, Cedar River has trails along the banks, a local spot to run or take the dog on a hike. The Maplewood Golf Course also lies along the river, catering to all skill levels. It has a heated driving range and golf lessons.Schools with hands-on opportunities
Schools are served by the Renton School District and offer Right at School, a before-and-after-school program with regular discounts and scholarships available. The district also provides each student with a laptop. Most students in the neighborhood are zoned to start at Cascade Elementary, which gets a C rating from Niche and encourages hands-on learning. "Kids from the elementary come over to our makerspace for a STEAM-type curriculum," Silva says. Then it's on to Nelson Middle School, rated C-plus. And students finish out at Lindbergh High School, rated B. The high school offers some advanced placement classes and has a Work Site Learning Program through the career center, allowing students to gain real-life experience.

Family First Community Center
Cascade's community comes together at Family First Community Center, built in mid-2023 and founded by former Seattle Seahawk Doug Baldwin. The center offers recreational facilities, programs and resources — all free or low-cost. The center also partners with HealthPoint, a non-profit medical provider. "The center is open to all ages and all people and fosters a real sense of community," says the Director of Programs, Alejandra Silva. "Some of our most popular activities include family Zumba, teen volleyball and adult basketball." For bigger community events, Renton is just a couple miles away, and hosts seasonal farmers markets. And the annual Renton Summerfest celebration has live music, an outdoor movie and activities for the whole family.Renton industries and commuting workers
Renton is home to a thriving manufacturing industry led by Boeing Company and PACCAR Inc., manufacturers of aerospace and technology and trucks. Valley Medical Center, which is adjacent to the Cascade area, is also a top employer and gives residents easy access to a hub of medical services. But many who move to the area commute to Bellevue or Seattle, both 15 miles away. The drive to either city can take 20 minutes but gets up to 40 at peak traffic times. There is little in the way of fast public transportation for commuters, but residents do enjoy easy access to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, 6 miles away.Local spots and major retailers
Cascade has small pockets of retail and dining throughout the neighborhood. Some standout spots included Mekenie Pampangga's, a Filipino restaurant specializing in all-day breakfast dishes, and Brewmaster's Taproom, a family and pet-friendly beer hall with over 20 craft beers and live music. For larger brands, residents drive just a mile away to pick up groceries at Fred Meyers and shop for home goods at the state's only IKEA.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
