Very nice town. (But not for everyone.) 4 rating By Anonymous ( Feb 01, 2021) I like Kenton because it’s quiet, safe and nice. This city is full of kind neighbors and more good qualities. The houses here are beautiful. Crime is non existent and schools are top notch. But it does have downsides. The economy here is terrible and there’s nothing to do her ...Read More e and no nightlife. This town is not for everyone. It has a small town feel. I also love how it’s near major highways like U.S 30 and U.S 68. And OH-31 that goes to Columbus. I rank my city high! Read Less
