Kent has the benefit of being on the western border of Portage County, and in turn, on the eastern border of Summit County, which puts Kent right in the middle of the action in Northeast Ohio. Situated centrally in the Cleveland-Akron-Canton-Youngstown metro area puts a lot to do within a short drive. It's the best of both worlds: small town comforts and charm for every day living with access to all those big-city amenities when the mood strikes.
