About Kensington
Kensington is a small, affluent mid-city neighborhood of about 20,000 people known for its English village character, the iconic Kensington sign spanning Adams Avenue, and beautifully preserved 1920s-40s homes. The commercial stretch along Adams Avenue has locally-owned restaurants, a wine bar, and the historic Kensington Video building. Most homes are craftsman bungalows and Spanish colonials on compact lots without modern garages.
