The past six years in Kensington have been great.

Three train stations and only two stations away from the City Loop, or 15 minutes in the car to get to the city makes for convenience.

The local shopping strip is great, with good take away options (the old-school fish and chips are delicious), brunch / coffee (The Premises), and nice homewares stores (Dwell, Tempted). Newmarket and North Melbourne for Woolworths are close, and Highpoint / CBD shops are also easy to access.

The stock route trail makes for a lovely walk, with pretty small parks dotted along the route to the Maribyrnong River.

This area has always felt safe and homely, and it is nice to be close to the city and to feel as though you’ve ‘escaped’ it as soon as you get home. Great community feel.
