A great place to call home, Kensington has risen from its university roots into a vibrant and diverse suburb between the city and the coast making it a perfect spot for young professionals, executive buyers and downsizers. Our Kensington specialist Tristan Oddi says, “Kensington has transformed over the past decade into a connected and highly liveable suburb at the heart of the east. Great parks, excellent transport links and village hubs make for easy living with the city and beaches just 15 minutes away. Now is a great time to buy in Kenso as there are still more upgrades in the pipeline with a new and improved town centre an activated street frontages to make a vibrant and prosperous urban centre. The light rail serves as a massive drawcard making it easy for residents to jump on for an easy trip to Surry Hills, the CBD and harbour attractions.”
