KENSINGTON
Surrounded by Windsor Terrace, Borough Park, and Flatbush,
Kensington is a diverse, peaceful neighborhood. There's a large
Orthodox Jewish population, which has made its mark on the
neighborhood with kosher eateries and religious buildings. That
said, the majority of new people moving here are young
professionals seeking a large, affordable apartment.
While Kensington was originally settled as part of The Town of
Flatbush, the land wasn't used for much. It wasn't until 1737 that
the area was properly settled by the British as farmland.
Kensington would be used for agricultural purposes throughout the
1700's and 1800's.
It wasn't until 1885 that Kensington was turned into a
residential neighborhood. The Ocean Parkway, finished in 1880,
helped make the area popular. Businesses started popping up next to
it, as did apartment complexes. By the 1920's, Kensington was full
of people.
Kensington ran into some issues around the 1950's and 60's…

As always, you should ask as early in the process as possible if you have any questions regarding the pet policy. The kitchen conveniently includes a dishwasher.
