BROOKLYN
Kensington
A close look at Brooklyn’s residential variety.
THE LOCAL PERSPECTIVE
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.

The neighborhood and the property.
Brooklyn and Queens searches can span apartments, townhouses and houses with more than one unit. Balance neighborhood routines and school research with the costs and responsibilities of the particular property type.
Verify how the space is used
For a property with multiple units or converted space, ask your advisers to review approved use, occupancy records and any tenancy information. Do not assume advertised space or rental income is automatically available for your plans.
Plan the everyday routine
Test the commute and access to errands, parks and services from the actual address. If schools are part of your decision, research address-based options and the applicable enrollment process.
SCHOOLS & YOUR ADDRESS
Research your school options.
If schools are part of your move to Kensington, start with the exact address and your student’s needs.
Start with the address
Use NYC Public Schools’ Find a School tool to research an address, then confirm the applicable admissions process with NYC Public Schools. A neighborhood name does not establish admission to a particular school.
Ask about registration timing, documents, transportation, before- and after-school options, and the availability of programs relevant to your student. Confirm current arrangements directly with the school or district.
Compare the details that matter
Use New York State’s school and district report cards to review enrollment and student-performance information. Note the reporting year and compare it with current district information about courses, student support, arts, athletics and extracurricular opportunities.
A single rating cannot answer every question about a school. Speak with the school about your priorities, and verify enrollment before making a property decision.
PREPARING YOUR NEXT CHAPTER
Selling in Kensington.
