Living at the Kensington has been fantastic. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of downtown with easy access to everything. The building is modern, spotless, and filled with great amenities from the pool and gym to the resident lounges and work spaces. Apartments are bright, well designed, and surprisingly quiet for the area. The staff and management are excellent, always professional, friendly, and quick to help. It is a high-end experience all around and I could not be happier here... .

We love the dogs in the building, which is why we don't have pet fees and dogs know there are treats at the desk! Get ready for some pet friendly events coming up! - Team Kensington
