Work in Kent, WA - Live in North or South of Seattle?

[Sonia T.]

Hi all,

I searched thru the site but could not find much and I hope you can help me. If one has to commute to Kent, where are the areas that are worth considering? SFH, multifamily, no HOAs preferred. It makes more sense to live/invest South of Seattle but based on the forums, people are flocking to the North. What are your two cents?? Thanks!
