Alder Grove by MainVue Homes

With 13 conveniently located homesites for sophisticated single-family designs in a private, well-connected MainVue-exclusive neighborhood on Kent's East Hill, Alder Grove sets you up perfectly for the win. Halfway between Kent Station's vibrant open-air urban village and its downtown mix of historic and modern attractions, Alder Grove hits an ace right down the middle. New two-story MainVue homes here are equidistant from state-of-the-art movie theaters for date nights, seasonal farmer's markets and art walks for meetups with friends, and urbane shopping and restaurants whipping up sushi, tacos, pizzas and more for family outings. Also close: big-name concerts and sports events at ShoWare Center, and quieter outdoor water, hiking and biking activities at Lake Meridian and Clark Lake parks, and Soos Creek and Green River trails. Scores continue adding up for parents and their child-sized teammates at Alder Grove's own park. This all-ages hotspot features two distinct play areas: the "Tot Lot" with tic-tac-toe and peek-a-boo panels and an angled rock climber - and a larger structure with slides, vertical climber and strength-builders for older kids. Picnic tables and benches are ready for brief time-outs. Alder Grove continues handing you an early lead with seamless connections to shopping and workplaces in Seattle, Bellevue and Tacoma via Interstate 5, and highways 167 and 18. Prefer to leave the commute driving to someone else? Relax onboard any of Metro's bus route connections, Kent's DART shuttle or Kent's Sounder Station for light rail. Even closer: all of Alder Grove's three Kent School District feeder campuses. Award-winning Martin Sortun Elementary for preschoolers-6th graders is less than a mile away.
