Is Kensington a good place to live?

Kensington is often described as a hidden gem, prized by families and buyers who want a quiet, diverse, affordable neighborhood close to Prospect Park. It offers rowhouses, semi-detached homes, and apartment buildings, a rich mix of cultures, good local shopping along Church and Coney Island Avenues, and F and G train access to Manhattan. More affordable and lower-key than neighboring Park Slope or Windsor Terrace, it appeals to buyers seeking value, community, and green space in central Brooklyn.
