Kensington

Kensington is the quintessential small town. Nestled in the hills between Berkeley and El Cerrito, Kensington is a quiet, community minded town - most of Kensington is residential; small, attractive shopping areas can be found on Arlington Ave. and on Colusa Circle.

From this home, the shops on Arlington Ave. are a short walk away. Eat at the Kensington Inn or at Shai's catering; a post office, a pharmacy, a grocery market, a wine retailer, a bakery, a hardware store, a bank and a wonderful ice-cream shop complete this small shopping area.

There is excellent access to public transportation on Arlington Ave. AC Transit service runs regularly to downtown Berkeley and El Cerrito del Norte Bart. Commuter buses run directly to and from San Francisco at commute times.
