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.
