Kensington is known as a Brooklyn neighborhood of many treasures - quiet side streets meeting commercial corridors, boutiques and bodegas, modern shops alongside a 19th-century barn. Located between Borough Park and Ditmas Park, Kensington attracts young families and singles. The neighborhood is ranked one of Brooklyn's safest, with a close community of many first-time buyers. Traditionally a working-class area, recent shops, cafes, and bars have grown it into a "hip" place to live. Victorian mansions on quiet side streets add pastoral charm.
