Kensington
Kensington
It has deep roots. Going all the way back to William the Conqueror, Kensington has been a highly sought-after location. Over time, 3 main roads, train lines, and bus service were built.
These public transportation routes connected this area with the rest of London making it easy to commute to work or to visit key attractions throughout the city.
Unfortunately, one of its more famous residents was convicted mass murderer, Jeremy Bamber. This resident and his fame have done nothing to ruin the good reputation that Kensington has formed over the centuries. It is still an ideal place to live and raise a family.
Shopping
One of the claims to fame that Kensington holds onto is that its Kensington High Street was once named the second best place to shop. The reason it got that award is because that street is filled with all kinds of shops that sell what people want.
Even though it has stiff competition from White City and its Westfield shopping centre, this is still a great area to relax and go shopping. The wide variety of shops is still on hand to make sure you find what you need without having to search all over the city.
Real Estate Values In Kensington
This area is not for the bargain hunter. Unless they consider £1,000,000 to be a bargain. There are a couple of homes or apartments on sale for £5,000 less than £1,000,000 but after fees, etc., expect to pay more than that price.
If you prefer elegant living then the more luxurious homes in the town may be more to your liking. They are selling for under £30,000,000 with many in the high teens and low 20 million pound range.
If you buy into one of the many grand apartment houses on the block, your style and status of living will be raised up a few notches. The designs are exquisite and should make one proud to live in such grand buildings.
If you want to overlook the Kensington Palace Gardens, you will have to pay £13,000,000 for the privilege. The interiors are far above expectations and are enhanced by the quality of furniture you place inside.
These descriptions apply to the lower-priced apartment buildings and homes you find sprinkled throughout the area. You are not going to go wrong when you move into Kensington no matter which building you call home.
There Is Great Parkland As Well
It is not just the homes that make Kensington stand out from other areas of London. Holland Park, Hyde Park, and even the Kensington Palace gardens bring a nice park-like atmosphere
to your new residence.
Many of the smaller streets have community gardens that help keep this area with a small town neighbourly feel. Once you move in you should feel right at home.
There is an apartment or home for everyone in this unique London area. Make Kensington a priority in your new home search. It is worth living here.
