If you`re looking for idyllic cafes and a charming setting, Kensington is the place for you! Of all the older urban areas in San Diego, this area is one of the most desirable to live in, mainly due to its peaceful vibe and close-knit community.

Kensington is located between the neighbouring communities of Normal Heights and City Heights in central San Diego and is only a short drive away from City centre and the San Diego Bay. This central location combined with the small-town community vibe makes this area a wonderful place to visit.
