Cheap apartment in downtown Kent (Seattle, Auburn: living, restaurants, stores)

[chlee007]

Ok I've recently relocated to Kent area. I'm living on the West Hill now with my coworker as roommate. It's not very convenient as I don't have a car and not much buses goes on West Hill and my t-mobile cellphone doesn't work in this part of Kent. So I'm looking to move eastward to Downtown Kent or East Hills.

I prefer downtown Kent as it's more bus friendly. You can take buses easily to Seattle or Auburn and it's a lot easy to get to work than East Hills. I know there are tons of apartments located on top of those stores and restaurants by Kent Station and those apartments are where I'm looking at. I've came to a craiglist post about a studio for 475 a month...it's extremely cheap and I can definitely afford it, but I've lost the link. So now I'm trying to find one anywhere around 475 to 600 in one of those places by Kent Station. Any idea?

I think you should check a variety of sources, including print sources such as The News Tribune, Kent Reporter, The Little Nickel, and Apartment Finder, which you can find in grocery stores, and online sources, such as Craigslist.org, various "roommate finder" sites, and various "apartment finder" sites.
