Kensington
Runs from Parkside Avenue to the north, Coney Island Avenue on the east, Foster Avenue on the south and McDonald Avenue on the west.
In addition to ample street parking — a much-desired amenity in Brooklyn — homes for sale in Kensington include both attached homes and detached homes, with single-family homes and two-family homes in architectural styles including Victorian, Cape, and Queen Anne, although the predominant type of house for sale is brick. These Kensington homes have amenities that include garages, basements and cellars, large porches and lots of land, green spaces and trees.
However, if you’re not in the market to buy, mid-rise rental buildings, many built in the Art Deco style, also abound, as well as affordable rentals in Kensington’s multi-family homes.
Kensington, which was named after the west borough of London, was developed in 1885 after the completion of Ocean Parkway, which now has well-maintained high-rise co-op buildings with apartments to rent and apartments to buy, and also features six miles of landscaped malls, walking and biking paths, benches and chess tables.
For shopping and dining, dozens of ethnic grocery stores and restaurants can be found on Church Avenue, including two hip Thai restaurants and a new coffee shop/café.
The Kensington neighborhood also boasts safe streets, plus Kensington Stables, which dates back to the 19th century. The stables offers carriage rides and pony parties in addition to riding classes, and it’s located in Prospect Park, which means that for Kensington residents, it’s practically in your backyard.
