While Kent is primarily residential with some small industry and farms, the downtown area has become a day trip destination for many. The obelisk Civil War Soldiers Monument at the intersection of State Route 7, a major north-south road and Route 341, an east-west road is a dramatic assurance that you have arrived in downtown Kent.

The downtown area is a mix of residential homes, shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Most of the businesses are owner operated, so take the time to stop and talk to the owners about town. Visitor information is available on the Chamber of Commerce's website.

Education is important to Kent. In addition to Kent Center School, the public elementary/middle school (K-8), which was recently renovated, it is home to three private preparatory schools, Kent School, Marvelwood School and South Kent School. Kent is part of the six-town Region One school district with Housatonic Valley Regional High School in Falls Village serving as the public high school (9-12).

LAST MONTH’S DATA COMPARED TO PREVIOUS TWO YEARS

  • The industry considers Median Sales Price a more accurate look at home prices than average because it eliminates the outliers that can skew data.

  • Low inventory (new & active listings) can lead to a sellers market, especially if pending & sold listings are up. The opposite, high inventory and low sales will lead to a buyers market.

  • Months of inventory reflects an estimate of the amount of time it would take to sell all of the current listings in a given area.  Six months is considered a ‘balanced’ market. Anything under 6 months is considered a sellers market and anything above is a buyers market.
