Kensington
Kensington is a neighborhood, centrally located in Brooklyn, south of Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery. Kensington is predominantly residential, with a diverse housing stock: brick and limestone rowhouses, detached one-family Victorians, and pre- and post-war apartment buildings (rentals and co-ops). In addition to its diverse housing stock, it is filled with people from diverse backgrounds. Homebuyers are typically able to get more for their money in Kensington than other neighborhoods in Brooklyn that are farther north.
