Kensington balances small-town ease with big-city access. Set in Montgomery County and minutes from Bethesda, Silver Spring, and Rockville, this historic railroad town rewards daily routines with independent cafés, a celebrated Antiques Row, and a Saturday farmers’ market by the old station. The Town of Kensington keeps the calendar full with festivals, concerts, and porch tours that make it easy to plug into the community.
Families appreciate the educational options: Montgomery County Public Schools serve the area, including Albert Einstein High School as well as Rock View and Kensington Parkwood elementary schools. Little readers get a head start at the beloved Noyes Library for Young Children, one of the nation’s few libraries dedicated exclusively to early literacy.
Outdoors, Kensington delivers more than quiet, leafy streets. Stroll the grounds of historic homes at Warner Circle Park, bike the Rock Creek Trail, or wander the seasonal displays at Brookside Gardens in nearby Wheaton. Commuters have straightforward options, from MARC service at the local station to Red Line access in surrounding hubs, plus quick drives to regional employers and cultural venues.
Housing spans storybook bungalows, classic Colonials, and thoughtfully updated mid-century homes, giving both first-time buyers and move-up shoppers room to find the right fit.
