I have never felt unsafe walking around Renton. It is a nice and quiet town which is very relaxing when coming from Seattle. The only issue I have with Renton is the night scene. I am in my mid 20's and just about everything closes around 9pm. I get off work at 10pm (in Seattle) and I'm unable to do anything after work since nearly everything is closed. That being said, the small downtown is growing, there are more and more fun businesses coming to Renton every year which makes me excited! Renton is a great place for small families since there are so many well maintained parks and trails.
I've been living here my whole life and love living here. Its population is diverse and participation in the community has started to increase as I noticed that there has been electrical boxes and fire hydrants being painted. The community is becoming more colorful and with the increase in population, I believe that people will enjoy living here as well with the community events that pop up throughout the year!
Quiet, friendly neighborhoods within Renton. There are shops and stores with a 10 minute drive and Westfield Southcenter is less than 4 miles away! I’ve lived in Renton for 14 years and I don’t see myself living in any other city. Great work opportunities, family restaurants, and shopping boutiques within Renton. I have attended Renton Technical College for 3 years and that school has given me the tools for success - scholarship opportunities, helped me find a job related to my field of study, and has given me lifelong friendships.
