Neighbourhood
Kensington is unique - it is a safe, friendly, charming hilltop village with amazing views. The village is located across from Golden Gate and San Francisco. Kensington is next door to Berkeley.
We have friendly neighbors who greet each other on walks around the neighborhood. Our house is in a quiet cul de sac in walking distance to Kensington park, playground, library and the gorgeous Blake Garden with free access. Tilden Regional Park is in walking distance and located right behind our neighborhood. Berkeley and San Francisco are located close by.
Being close to nature you will see many birds, butterflies, deer in our neighborhood. At night you will hear the peaceful sounds of our neighborhood owls.
Kensington has a famous and beautiful Farmers Market every Sunday. We have a local bakery, cafes, restaurants, flower shop, wine shop, several local grocery shops and a hardware store.
Berkeley and El Cerrito next door have tons of restaurants, supermarkets, cafes, shops. The famous Chez Panisse restaurant and Berkeley's gourmet area is a quick drive from our house.
The University of California, Berkeley, a world famous university with plenty of art, music, theater and culture in its vicinity is also a quick drive or bus trip away.
