Central Renton is a vibrant downtown neighborhood
At the heart of one of Seattle’s most vibrant edge cities, Central Renton is a lively downtown district, full of businesses, shopping and dining. Renton was founded in 1875 and named for a prominent local businessman. World War II played a major role in Central Renton’s rapid expansion, as Boeing built a factory to produce B-29 heavy bombers for use overseas. The Boeing factory remains one of the area’s top employers. “If you’re in the aerospace industry, there’s a ton of employment opportunities here. You also have the Kenworth truck factory just east of Boeing,” says local Realtor David Sappenfield. A spirit of creativity and innovation abounds in this hub of opportunities. Central Renton is also home to Wizards of the Coast’s headquarters, the parent company of Magic: The Gathering, a popular card game.
Central Renton neighborhood residents take pride in their town.

Bungalows, cottages and ranch-style homes are common in Central Renton
Ranch-style homes, bungalows, and cottages predominate the housing stock here, along with the occasional Colonial Revival. “With housing in Renton, you have a lower median home value,” Sappenfield says. “You’re looking at $725,000 for a single-family, detached home, and $371,000 for a condo. When you look to the north of Renton, homes are in the million-dollar range; you get more house for your dollar by buying in Renton.” The housing market here has gotten hotter in recent years, due to Renton’s recent growth and proximity to Seattle. “It’s a growing city; it’s definitely expanding, which is great for the economy, if not for traffic,” Sappenfield says.
Older homes in Central Renton have large porches overlooking their tidy yards.
Small craftsman homes are mixed in with cottages in most of Central Renton.

Shopping and dining in and around Renton’s vibrant city center
Central Renton is brimming with opportunities for shopping, dining, and entertainment. “At The Landing, there’s a newer development about ten years old, and you have restaurants, Target, clothing stores, and an LA Fitness; everything you need is right there,” Sappenfield says. Dough Zone is a popular dumpling spot, while Exit 5 is known for Korean barbecue. There’s also a Regal movie theater and a Topgolf. For groceries and other everyday essentials, there’s Safeway, Fred Meyer and Walmart nearby.

Interstate 405 offers quick commuting from Central Renton
