Located south of Bellevue on the east side of Lake Washington, Renton is one of the most affordable areas of the Seattle Metro area. Although its history is that of a working-class suburban neighborhood, the city is now redeveloping industrial areas into live/work scenarios and accentuating its waterfront connections. New development is Modern in feel and look. The surrounding hills above the lake are a Mid-Century Modern treasure hunters dream with many untouched gems waiting for people with the right sensibility to update and reinvigorate them.
