Why Live in Kensington

Kensington, a historic neighborhood in San Diego, is located 8 miles north of Downtown. Known for its early 20th-century homes, Kensington features primarily single-family residences with lawns, a rarity in San Diego. The neighborhood is characterized by Spanish Revival homes from the 1920s to the 1950s, with midcentury modern homes from the 1950s to the 1980s found north of Adams Avenue. Kensington Park Villas, a gated community of midcentury modern townhouses from the 1970s, is situated in the northeast corner. Local amenities are abundant, with eateries and businesses lining Adams Avenue. Residents can enjoy breakfast at Kensington Cafe or dine at Bleu Boheme, which offers a Parisian bistro atmosphere. The area also features Stehly Farms Market, known for its organic produce and farm-to-table deli. Kensington is home to highly rated schools, including Green Elementary, Lewis Middle, and Patrick Henry High. The neighborhood boasts several parks, such as the centrally located Kensington Mini Park and the larger Ward Canyon Neighborhood Park, which includes a popular off-leash dog area. Kensington is safer than the national average, with lower crime rates. Commuters benefit from direct access to Interstate 8 and Interstate 15, making travel convenient. The San Diego International Airport is 10 miles south, and Kindred Hospital San Diego is 2 miles west. The community also hosts the annual Holiday at Home Parade, a tradition since 1982, featuring floats, marching bands, and themed costumes.
