Do not rent from this complex! Huge issue with the billing practices for this apartment complex. Upon moving in we provided our rental insurance coverage and the property manager said everything was good to go. About 2 months in we received a charge for renters… See More >

      We've had mostly positive experiences with Kensington--the neighbors are great, maintenance staff is attentive, and we love that our kitchen is updated and feels clean. It does seem that they've been cutting corners a bit since their new apartment complex went in across the street.… See More >

          There is zero sound proofing between apartments. I can hear every step my neighbors take, every word they say. I can even hear them yawning! I am counting down the days until my lease is up.

            Clean and well-maintained--the building is an older building, but the apartments and grounds are well-kept. I had a washer/dryer in my apartment. It was kind of weird; one machine did both the washing and drying. Aside from the fact that you can't wash… See More >

                              We are very surprised to read your comments and sorry you are experiencing problems. The vast majority of residents at Kensington Place are very happy here especially those with a 3+ year tenure such as yourself. We strongly believe Kensington Place is a good value based on the apartment, community, and neighborhood amenities. In January we did change management companies; however, the ownership has remained the same for over 25 years. Our new management company was carefully selected to provide our residents with greater service, satisfaction, and value. Kensington Place is a very quiet and peaceful community - noise issues are rare. We are not aware of any noise complaints at this time. We welcome the opportunity to speak with you about your concerns and suggestions, and hope you will contact us. Justin Oliver Property Owner

                                              I enjoyed living there, however closet space was minimal and we had to get creative with storage issues. They were garden style apartments and upstairs neighbors could tend to be noisy. Beautiful grounds, good maintenance and I felt pretty safe.
