Lovely neighborhood community! Welcoming ever since my family moved here. Very friendly and inclusive, school is nearby and friends who live nearby are well within walking distance. Roads aren't busy and don't pose a danger to pets or children, and a lot of people spend time outside playing sports on their lawns or walking their dogs.
I've had a very good experience in my Kensington town. Everything is nearby and is walkable to find any grocery stores or food. The people are super close and everyone is friendly for the most part. There are so many opportunities to bring the community together, such as the town hall, labor day parades, and the pool. The school systems are also very good and high quality.
I've lived here for about 3 years, and I can definitely say that Kensington is a great neighborhood for families and new couples. Although it may not be the best place for single individuals because of the environment, and that apartments seem to be low-end.
