Take A Look At Kensington, Maryland
Where in the United States can you find just over half a square mile of land, occupied by just over 1000 of the most pleasant residents you will ever meet? Kensington, Maryland is a small town located in Montgomery County, just outside of Washington D.C. and Annapolis. Though this quaint area is not optimal for employment, the short commute to D.C. helps anyone separate work from home with just a short drive.
Kensington is a small town operated by one mayor and four councilmen. You will find over ten churches of different denominations within the area, access to over twelve schools in the surrounding county, and a variety of shopping centers, mom and pop shops, and a great farmer’s market all within the town limits. Community residents form many committees to continue to the diverse interests thriving, and yet you still get the feeling you are in a remote retreat away from the hectic life of a busy metropolitan area.
How many small towns in America offer this much variety within less than a square mile? Kensington residents are family oriented; over one-third of them have children that enjoy the art events and Noyes Library located in this area. There is a variety of activities and shops for the entire family, ranging from antiques, fitness, 14 restaurants and clothing outlets.
The history of Kensington keeps the antiquity alive and well with an operating train-station and the walking tour that is provided to those who are interested in learning about the phenomenal past. If you prefer to enjoy the scenery on your own time, you can always visit one of the seven parks that this town has to offer- bringing healthy activities and nature to a town notorious for being a “refuge from Washington D.C.”
The Kensington Arts Theater, Historical Society and Town Center offer events of all cultural tastes, bringing families together as the same as they did over 120 years ago. This small town is continuously expanding, and ready to burst at its borders with the amount of opportunity for familial involvement in the area.
Whether you are looking for an interesting place to visit, or you are looking to relocate to Washington D.C. but do not want to commit to fast, city life, Kensington is an excellent place to raise a family and escape the chaos of a stressful day. Its sophisticated appeal and diverse opportunity for activity make it an excellent place to settle and expand.
