    "Kenton is a very pet friendly area in general. The people and businesses are very accommodating to service pets as well as general pets. Public transit stations are well maintained and plenty of shopping and freeway access nearby."

    "It’s a great neighborhood, great neighbors. I wish we had more police check in the area due to constant Visits from homeless people. If we didn’t have that big of a problem this would be 100% the place to live"

    "The neighborhood is much louder than initially thought when we moved in 4 years ago. The train horn is very loud at all hours of the day, and the playground attracts homeless and suspicious behavior at night (sometimes criminal). The saving grace is the walkability and the great neighbors. "

    "It’s easy to get everywhere with the Max station and I-5 nearby. Because it’s close to both Lombard and Columbia I rarely take I-84 and therefore have a more reliable commute when driving East."

    "I've lived in this neighborhood 9 years. Do you want to get poisoning from all the industrial facilities on Columbia blvd, do you want to hear the train screaming at all hours? Do you want a home that's been supposedly remodeled? It's all just paint to make things look good. Don't do it, seriously take my advice. It's a terrible neighborhood , the taxes are insane and only getting worse. The neighborhood is not friendly at all and your going to get stuck in an unaffordable mortgage without escape . I managed to sell my home here and am only still in Kenton until I can get out of oregon. Washington here i come"

    "Lots of dogs. Lots of dogs off leash. Kenton park is great for dog walks. Lots of “homeless” people too which causes dogs to bark a lot at home, so great for security. "

    "Lots of dogs. Lots of people not picking up after their dogs. Large park and quite a few off leash even though it isn’t allowed, which is annoying if you’ve got your dog on a leash and unleashed dogs get involved. "
