Kensington is a rectangle of around 100 blocks east of Borough Park and west of Flatbush — in fact, it is often considered a section of the latter neighborhood. More important, perhaps, are its neighbors to the north and south: Windsor Terrace and Midwood. Kensington is a bridge between central and southern Brooklyn. Kensington is named after the London neighborhood, and although there are some Victorian homes that are vaguely English-inspired, there's no dominant style. The housing stock is assorted, ranging from 20-story apartment buildings to detached single-family homes.
