Kent offers quiet country living with quick connections. Set in Union County, this small crossroads community sits about seven miles from Creston, putting groceries, healthcare, and jobs within a short drive while keeping starry skies and wide-open views. Homebuyers find room to spread out—acreages, classic farmhouses, and straightforward ranch homes—often at prices that stretch a budget further than larger markets.
Outdoorsy weekends come easy. Anglers and paddlers head to Green Valley State Park for trails, beaches, and boat ramps, while the Three Mile Lake Recreation Area offers trophy fishing, campgrounds, and miles of multiuse paths. Low-traffic county roads invite bike rides and harvest drives, and winter brings quiet, snow-dusted walks where you’ll hear more birds than cars.
Families are served by the Creston Community School District, known for strong arts, athletics, and hands-on career and technical opportunities, and lifelong learners tap Southwestern Community College for certificates, transfer degrees, and workforce training. Nearby main streets in Afton and Lenox add coffee stops, seasonal festivals, and ballfields to the weekly routine, and Greater Regional Health anchors care close to home.
Whether you’re trading city bustle for acreage, seeking a starter home with elbow room, or planning a barndominium, Kent rewards a practical mindset and love of open space. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate pro.
