"Inner City Exclusive Suburb"

I lived in Kensington for over 13 years and I still sell homes in this suburb. All the clients I have moved into this suburb love it to because it is so convenient and central to everything. My two children did all their Primary School Years at Kensington Primary School which you can only attend if you live in the Suburb so it has a vibrant community made up of young professionals and families. Kensington is becoming popular because it is walking distance to the Vicpark Precinct where you have many culinary choices from all over the world for dinner and take a bottle of your special wine. If you ever want to know what the street is like your looking to buy in call me and I will be happy to help on 0402 089 908 !

"Kensington - South Perth's Little Sister Suburb..."

I love Kensington which in many ways is like an extension to South Perth. Offering an eclectic mix of character through to new homes, Kensington is popular for families looking for a more substantial sized block of land, for a little bit less than you would pay in South Perth. It's an evolving area, with some homesites being redeveloped and some being restored to reflect their original character. There are some highly sought after pockets offering stunning views of the Perth CBD. Being within close proximity to the Swan River and Perth CBD, its a winner. It has a lovely village feel, without a major shopping centre as such, but you'll find most things you need within about 3 km's. Kent Street, Senior High School is a sought after government high school in the area offering specialized programs. Penrhos (girls private School) is close in Como and Wesley College (Private Boys in South Perth).

"Favourite Suburb"

Kensington would have to be one of my favourite suburbs ! It shares the same post code as South Perth but it is much smaller and is mainly made up of houses instead of units. There are some cute hidden cafes spotted around the streets and Kensington Primary School is very popular. Many of the homes are full of character and there are a lot of families. Kensington is known for its amazing Halloweeen presententation with lots of home participating in trick or treat.

"Never moving away"

Moved to Kensington and have watched this little suburb move ahead with so many houses being renovated the place has become very gentrified. Marvellous convenient location and great amenities- perfect family suburb for cbd based professionals.

"Location, location"

Kensington is the best value for money suburb in the inner city areas of Perth, only being a 10 minute drive to the Terrace in peak hour. Lovely city views, access to foreshore, parks, cafes, airport, Fremantle and Optus stadium are all so easy. No infill developments have kept the great appeal and character housing in the suburb.

"Convenient, friendly and full of character"

Kensington is a little village type suburb full of beautiful character houses and numerous parks and bush land, all 3kms to the cbd. Very central to city, airport, quick drive to the beaches and Fremantle and close to the stadium for the big games. Also becoming more of a cafe hub, whilst being a 5 minute or so walk to the Vic Park strip.
