Kensington

A close look at Brooklyn’s residential variety.

Kensington includes detached houses, attached homes, and apartment buildings in the area south of Windsor Terrace. Tree-lined side streets and busier avenues create a varied pattern of residential settings rather than one uniform architectural style.

Ocean Parkway is a major landmark in the local landscape, with its broad layout and planted medians. Church Avenue and nearby commercial streets add everyday activity, while individual blocks reveal the neighborhood’s range of housing types.
