Kensington Real Estate & Houses for Sale

The character of Kensington is exemplified by its relaxed environment. It is easy to reach parks in the neighbourhood since there are approximately 10 of them nearby for residents to visit. This area is very quiet overall, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamour.

Transportation

Driving is very often the preferred approach to get around in Kensington. The majority of properties for sale are a rather short car ride from the nearest highway, and it is convenient to find a parking spot. In contrast, residents using public transit may have few options in this part of Saskatoon due to the service's low frequency. Thankfully, homeowners benefit from a few bus lines, and most homes are very close to a bus stop. Kensington is rather amenable to biking since bicycling is made easier by the generally flat terrain. Getting around as a pedestrian is not very practical for house buyers in Kensington because few daily errands can be run without needing to resort to a car.

Housing

Small apartment buildings are the most common housing type, representing around 40% of dwellings in Kensington, whereas the remainder are mainly duplexes and single detached homes. This part of Saskatoon offers mainly three bedroom and two bedroom homes. Homeowners occupy around 55% of the units in Kensington and 45% are occupied by renters. A majority of the housing growth in this neighbourhood has taken place after the year 2000.

Services

Primary schools and daycares are easy to reach without a car from most properties for sale in Kensington. On the other hand, parents may find it very difficult for their schoolchildren to access high schools as pedestrians. As far as eating is concerned, a grocery store is ordinarily reachable within a very long trip from most homes for sale in Kensington. A limited variety of restaurants and coffee shops is available as well.
