Kensington

With a blend of brick rowhouses, detached homes, and pre‑war apartment buildings.

Welcome to Kensington

Kensington is a quiet residential Brooklyn neighborhood just south of Prospect Park and nestled between Windsor Terrace, Midwood, and Flatbush. With a blend of brick rowhouses, detached homes, and pre‑war apartment buildings, Kensington homes for sale present an appealing mix of architecture, accessibility, and value in one of Brooklyn’s more understated markets.
 
Whether you’re looking for a brick townhouse on a quiet block or a well‑maintained co‑op in a full‑service building, Kensington offers opportunity and character within reach.
 

Architecture & Housing Styles

Kensington features a variety of residential property types:
 
  • Detached or semi‑detached single‑family homes and Victorian‑style houses on side streets.

  • Brick rowhouses and two‑family homes in more traditional Brooklyn style.

  • Pre‑war and mid‑century apartment buildings—particularly along Ocean Parkway and Coney Island Avenue—some operating as co‑ops.

  • Smaller new‑build and conversion condo options, particularly as the neighborhood attracts more buyers.
This diversity gives buyers flexibility—from first‑time purchasers and investors to longer‑term homeowners.
 

Lifestyle, Goods & Local Life

Although primarily residential, Kensington offers several commercial corridors and neighborhood conveniences:
 
  • Major thoroughfares like Coney Island Avenue, Church Avenue, Ditmas Avenue, and McDonald Avenue provide retail, dining and transit options.

  • The neighborhood is praised for its “quiet streets, beautiful old Victorians,” and “old‑school feel” balanced with evolving retail offerings.

  • Outdoor and green‑space access is strong thanks to its proximity to Prospect Park—just north of Kensington—offering recreation and relaxation.
For daily errands, boutique shopping, and dining, Kensington holds its own—and for major urban amenities, Park Slope, Windsor Terrace and Flatbush are just nearby.
 

Transit & Connectivity

Kensington benefits from multiple transit options, making commuting and travel efficient:
 
  • The F train (IND Culver line) stops at Fort Hamilton Parkway and Church Avenue, offering access to Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn.

  • Bus services cover major corridors, and Ocean Parkway offers bike lanes and open‑space paths that enhance mobility.

  • With the neighborhood located close to the park, shopping, and multiple subway/bus routes, Kensington represents a balance of tranquility and connectivity.
