Kensington Blog is a really informative neighborhood blog. Here the author muses about how she came to call Kensington home.

Ten short years ago we remember calling friends who lived in Prospect Heights out of their
minds. Later as we moved to Brooklyn as renters we felt lucky to have a
park and bars close to the pad and a decent commute for a pretty measly
monthly bill. As we grew up and saw the boom begin we were lucky enough
to buy a place in a quiet sleepy neighborhood that allowed us to bike
ride to those restaurants and still be close to work (we all actually work in Brooklyn now so have no commute complaints).
