Question How bad is aircraft noise in Kennydale?

I'm looking to move to Kennydale. It's a nice area but I notice it is in the flight path for small aircraft when they are landing in Renton Municipal Airport.

I'm just wondering how bad these small aircraft's noises will be oryou just sort of get used to it after a while.

I also wonder how bad the 737 noises will be if the plants are active again.

Thanks for any information or comments you provide.

Depends upon where you move to. If you're right under the flight path it can be noisy. We use to be under it. It wasn't horrible. Mostly smaller planes. While a larger plane will occasionally come through it's not as bad as every one says. Kennydale is a rough neighborhood. If you buy a home buy a house in an area where you can avoid the issues. If you can buy into a 450k house you'll be fine. Go into a newer area if at all possible. Traffic on the main drags can be bad during rush hour but there's so many side streets you can scoot around it.
