Your Trusted Guide to Kent Homes

Kent, Ohio is a lively college city in Portage County located along the Cuyahoga River in northeastern Ohio. Founded in the early nineteenth century as Franklin Mills, the community grew through its canal and railroad connections and took on the name Kent in honor of local industrialist Marvin Kent.

The city is home to Kent State University, one of Ohio’s largest public universities and the community’s anchor institution. The university shapes much of Kent’s culture, economy, and energy, bringing a strong academic presence and a diverse student population to the city.

Known as “The Tree City,” Kent has deep ties to environmental stewardship through John Davey and the Davey Tree Expert Company, whose influence still shapes local green spaces and conservation values. The vibrant downtown district has been revitalized with university partnership and now features locally owned shops, restaurants, music venues like The Kent Stage, and a strong arts presence.

Kent also offers abundant parks and outdoor recreation, including riverside trails, community green spaces, and access to the Portage Hike and Bike Trail, which connects the city to surrounding communities and the university. With its blend of small-town charm, academic life, cultural events, and outdoor amenities, Kent provides a unique and spirited atmosphere in Northeast Ohio.
