Apartment was extremely clean upon move-in and we were pleasantly surprised. However, we would’ve loved a guided tour of the complex as we moved from out-of-state and was not able to tour the complex before move-in.

Property Manager at The Kensington responded to this review

Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad to hear your apartment was move-in ready and exceeded expectations. We completely understand how helpful a guided tour would have been, especially coming from out of state. If you'd still like a walkthrough... of the building, we’d be happy to schedule one at your convenience.

Welcome to The Kensington!

Very communicative and helpful team! The move-in portal was extremely easy to navigate, and made accomplishing move-in tasks simple. As someone who had to move in a hurry, I couldn’t ask for anything more.

It's been good until now. A little bit bumpy on the beginning. I like the gym and facility as well as the programs for the residents. It's fun living here.
