    Kensington provides all you may want living in the city.- amazing location, walking distance to pretty much anywhere, Great amenities - gym, outdoor pool, well designed spaces for working or hosting an event. There are community events allowing residents to meet and mingle while enjoying drinks, music, and such. I've been living here for a few years now and can't imagine a better place to live in the city!

    It has been a good experience, but for the loud gym construction below our apartment. Wish this was informed the proximity to the gym and potential renovations from before.

    Living at The Kensington has been amazing. The team members are incredibly kind and friendly. From the concierge to the maintenance team, everyone goes out of their way to make you feel at home and assist with any needs or questions you may have. They create such a warm, welcoming environment that truly makes living here feel special. Also, the amenities are top-notch. The fitness center is well-equipped and always clean, and the lounge areas are perfect for relaxing or working remotely. I also ...
    love the outdoor spaces — whether it’s unwinding on the terrace or enjoying the pool, there’s always a place to escape and recharge. Also love how conveniently located the building is. Being close to so many restaurants, shops, and parks makes it easy to enjoy the neighborhood, and public transportation is right around the corner. I genuinely love living here and would recommend The Kensington to anyone looking for a comfortable, high-quality living experience!
