Kensington, named after the west borough of London, was developed in 1885 after the completion of Ocean Parkway, which now features six miles of landscaped malls, walking and biking paths, benches and chess tables.

Any type of property you are looking for probably exists in Kensington-attached, detached, semi-detached, single family, two-family, Victorians, Capes, Queen Annes and row houses, although the predominant style is brick. And many have yards and garages. But if you're not in the market to buy, mid-rise rental buildings also abound.

Dozens of ethnic grocery stores and restaurants can be found on Church Street, and Kensington Stables, dating back to the 19th century located in Prospect Park is practically in your backyard.
