BROOKLYN NEIGHBORHOOD HIGHLIGHTS
Kensington, located in central Brooklyn, traces its roots to 17th-century Dutch farmland before British colonists reestablished it in the 1730s. The neighborhood saw its first major development after the creation of Ocean Parkway in the late 19th century, with its name likely chosen to echo the elegance of its namesake in London. Architecturally, Kensington features a unique mix of brick rowhouses, Tudor-style villas, and mid-century apartment buildings, especially in its Parkville subsection. Today, it’s one of Brooklyn’s most ethnically diverse communities, home to Orthodox Jewish, South Asian, Russian, Caribbean, and Sudanese residents. This multicultural blend is reflected in local businesses and institutions along Church Avenue and beyond, giving Kensington a grounded yet globally connected character within Brooklyn’s urban mosaic.
