A neighborhood of culture and community
With one of the most diverse communities in the nation, Kensington is a neighborhood where people of different faiths, cultures and economic backgrounds respect each other, says Michelle Shaw-Clouse, an associate real estate broker with Weichert Properties, who grew up in the area and has been selling real estate in Brooklyn for over 20 years. “This is a caring neighborhood where families span generations, and kids stay in touch with their childhood friends.” Residential blocks with lower-rise homes contribute to a sense of calm here, while busy commercial corridors provide near-constant activity.
