Downtown Kent is the heart of this vibrant college town. Along with casual eateries, shops, and laid-back bars, Downtown Kent also houses part of the Kent State University campus. Great for students, faculty, and staff, this central hub offers highly affordable student housing, apartments, townhomes, and single-family homes. During the school year, you’ll find locals flocking to Hometown Bank Plaza for a concert or movie screening, while students love kayaking or hammocking at the John Brown Tannery Park after class. After hours, catch a show at the Kent Stage, a silent theater turned live entertainment venue. Although Kent State University keeps Downtown Kent lively throughout the year, if you ever want to make a day trip, Akron and Cleveland are less than an hour away.
As of April 2025, the average apartment rent in Downtown Kent is $877 for a studio, $1,027 for one bedroom, $1,339 for two bedrooms, and $692 for three bedrooms. Apartment rent in Downtown Kent has decreased by -2.0% in the past year.
