Kent County is an area in southeast England, which borders France, East Sussex, Greater London, and Surrey counties. The area has an abundance of hop gardens and orchards; Kent County is often referred to as "The Garden of England" as a result.
The area lies within the London commuter belt, however, the majority of Kent's industrial heritage relies on aircraft construction, paper making, and cement construction. As these industries are experiencing a great decline, other parts of the county, particularly the Southern and Eastern areas, have relied more on tourism and agriculture to fuel the local economy.

Given the state of the country's economy and the global outlook of the macro-economy the majority of people in Kent County are opting to rent. The decision to rent is a financial or personal decision that arises from the current market; an individual who buys a home in a crippling real estate market will inevitably witness a significant drop in his/her initial investment.
