Kensington

It offers boutique shops, cozy cafes, and diverse dining options.

Welcome to Kensington

Dating back as early as 1910, Kensington is largely known for its expansive collection of “Spanish Style” homes, primarily built in the pre-WWII era. The “big sister” community adjacent to Talmadge, only separated by a canyon and what feels like a country road, this community features grand estates, small cottages, and everything in between. With bustling Adams Avenue as the primary divider between north and south Kensington, this small commercial district offers award-winning restaurants, cafes, boutiques, a community library and park, and so much more! You won’t want to miss the Memorial Day Parade, Art Around Adams, the Spring Walkabout, the tree lighting and snow day in December, or any other fun community events.  If you are looking for a centrally located community rich with architectural history, you’ll want to look into making Kensington your home!
