Kennydale

Kennydale is a scenic hillside neighborhood perched above Lake Washington's eastern shore in north Renton, prized for its water views, upscale homes, and tranquil ambiance. With a median price of $905,000 at $432/sqft and a commanding 10% year-over-year appreciation, Kennydale is one of Renton's fastest-appreciating neighborhoods, reflecting robust demand for its coveted lake-adjacent location. The longer 52-day DOM suggests buyers are taking care to find the right home, not a soft market.

Kennydale's lifestyle is defined by its stunning natural setting — rolling hillsides, partial Lake Washington views, and proximity to Coulon Beach Park, one of the region's finest urban waterfront parks. The neighborhood has a relaxed, upscale suburban feel with quiet streets, generous lot sizes, and mature tree canopy. While it is predominantly car-dependent, the tradeoff is unmatched scenery and access to lakefront recreation just minutes from I-405 corridors.
