Developed from the post-Civil War era to the 1940s, Kent features a mix of Colonial-inspired homes from the early 20th century and newer custom homes with modernist and New Traditional styles. The neighborhood is known for its tree-lined streets and spacious yards, with zoning laws preserving the lush foliage. Kent is served by highly rated schools, including Key Elementary and Hardy Middle School. The area lacks businesses within its boundaries, but nearby MacArthur Boulevard offers a variety of dining options, from Claudio's Table's Italian cuisine to Chen's Gourmet's Chinese carryout. For groceries, residents can visit a Safeway less than 2 miles away or Mimi's Convenience for deli sandwiches and snacks. Kent residents enjoy several local attractions, such as the Palisades Rec Center with its playground and splash park, and Battery Kemble Park, a historic site with Civil War-era cannons and forested trails. Potomac Palisades Parkway and Fletcher's Cove provide additional outdoor activities, including hiking, fishing, and water sports. The neighborhood's location offers convenient access to downtown D.C., with a 5-mile drive along MacArthur Boulevard or Massachusetts Avenue NW.
