“Tell someone you live in Kensington and they will invariably ask, where's Kensington? It's unknown and there-in lies its specialness.  The Kensington community is involved and committed. Neighbors are easygoing. It's not hard to find someone to watch the family pets if you're gone for a few days. Kensington is a quiet, safe neighborhood with its own Police and Fire Department. The schools and community services are top notch. Located in  the cheaper tax district of Contra Costa County, the paradox is Kensington's contrast to Contra Costa County. It's much more urban, diverse and tolerant. Kensington's greatest charm is its proximity to San Francisco, gourmet chefs and miles of East Bay Regional Park open space. Kensington is truly an urban escape.”

- Elias Jacobson, Home Owner, Kensington
