Welcome to Kensington

Kensington is an up-and-coming neighborhood offering a mix of affordability and charm, thanks to its proximity to Prospect Park and the F train. The rolling hills of Green-Wood Cemetery to the north add to the area's green space. Despite its appeal, Kensington remains affordable, attracting younger buyers seeking a residential vibe over city high-rises. The neighborhood is known for discount warehouses, family-run bodegas, and diverse eateries. Recent newcomers include Orthodox families from Borough Park and residents priced out of Windsor Terrace and Prospect Heights. Housing options range from affordable co-ops to pricier single-family homes, with reasonable rental prices.
