LARC, or Legacy Affordable Retirement Community, at Kent is the first new senior housing development to be built in Kent in close to a decade. Tucked behind a residential neighborhood on a 7-acre site, the fully gated property offers a serene setting that is just blocks away from downtown Kent Station, an open-air village with shopping, entertainment, and dining options.
The community touts its fresh and modern touches, and each of the four floor plans are fully equipped with high-end appliances, including in-unit washers and dryers. The development team also incorporated sustainable materials into the building and is Evergreen Sustainable Development Standard certified.
On-site amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, an arts and crafts space, a billiard and game room, an outdoor patio with a barbecue area, and a resident lounge with a latte bar and a gas fireplace. In addition, the community’s on-site team offers an array of monthly activities to promote well-being, including movie nights, Saturday brunches, potlucks, a book club, game days, and a monthly birthday celebration.
