The Town of Kensington, CA

The town of Kensington is an unincorporated area in the southwest corner of Contra Costa County between Berkeley and El Cerrito. Located high in the hills overlooking San Francisco Bay, Kensington is an exceptional community with easy access to Bay Area freeways and transportation, yet isolated enough to offer a serene village atmosphere. Tilden Park and Wildcat Canyon Regional Parks with numerous hiking trails and open spaces lie in Kensington’s backyard.

Mostly a residential community, Kensington homes represent a wide variety of architectural styles adding charm and character to the neighborhoods. Many hillside homes offer views that are unsurpassed in the Bay area. There are also two small commercial areas providing a variety of goods and services.
