Kent, Ohio is an historical town located on the Cuyahoga River twenty minutes east of Akron. It’s best known for Kent State and the events of 1970, but in recent years, the town has been expanding its restaurant scene, community events, and connection to the university, making it an exciting place to live. Known as the Tree City, the best time to be in Kent is fall for the changing leaves, and summer for all of the green—a welcome sight after the cold Ohio winter!
Locally owned bar + restaurant downtown.
Bicycle gear + repair shop.
Riveredge Park is located in downtown Kent, which makes it very popular for families, students—just about everyone. Walk on the trail that parallels the Cuyahoga River or relax in the open area by the bridge. You might even see a Great Blue Heron. How neat is that?
