Kensington
Tucked into the East Bay hills just north of Berkeley, Kensington enjoys a small town atmosphere, spectacular bay views, proximity to Berkeley and an easy commute to San Francisco. Many local homes were built in Tudor, Mediterranean or modern styles creating charming neighborhoods with interesting architecture. Two local shopping areas serve the neighborhoods with small markets, restaurants, a drug store with postal service and other conveniences. The local elementary school is highly rated and there are several good preschools in town. Kensington is close to Tilden Park with its excellent hiking and biking trails, the antique Merry-Go-Round and the Little Farm, Nature Area, Lake Anza and pony rides. The Blake Estate, a university owned property is open to the public on weekdays for self guided tours of the beautiful gardens. Kensington also has its own library and community center.
