We would like to consider Renton to buy a house, because it is newer and not as so expensive.
We work in downtown seattle and have no kids at home now.

But we do like to find a good neighbourhood in renton with safe and low crime area.
And it is easier commute to downtown seattle, not only by car but also public transportation.

I know fairwood area is good, but it seems the bus only goes every one hour, and I cannot find a close by park and ride place.

Any recommendations?

And what area or neighbourhood needs to avoid?

Thanks

When you are that far out once or twice an hour is all you get for commute time buses. Closer in Renton is not going to be as peaceful and crime-free, but you might consider the newer condos/apartments near Boeing/Fry's in the Landing. Much easier commute, and plenty of walkable shops and restaurants. Near Downtown and Maplewood are areas to avoid. I hear that lately the more rural areas off of Sunset past 148th toward Issaquah have had some meth lab issues.
