2008-04-22T11:51:51-06:00

From frogprof12@hotmail.com: I've lived at "Kensington Green" [sounds quite posh, doesn't it? don't be fooled] for almost 2 years, and the place is not only badly run [e.g., the management can often take a week or longer to get maintenance to the apts.], it's also FAR too expensive for what [little] you ...

2007-06-07T08:57:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The management at Kensington is absolutely horrible these days (2007).

2007-04-16T14:14:56-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived in this complex for five years. The management office staff turned over at least once a year, if not more. In general, maintenance was responsive and fast.

2007-01-06T13:42:46-06:00

From JeniRhodes: I enjoyed living at the Kensington. My neighbors were very nice, friendly people. I try and avoid living near the college croud- even though this place was semi-close to campus, it for whatever reason doesn't attract a lot of college students.

2007-01-03T14:19:22-06:00

Kensington Green Apartments (formerly El Presidente): average apartment for average price (Recommending!)

2006-12-01T18:04:16-06:00

From thivai: You're certainly not getting a deal living here. It's Allendale�cheaper than Hyde Park but not quite as cheap further north. A couple places in the immediate area go for a little less, but they recently rennovated this place, so the carpet, dishwasher, disposal, and so on are new(er).

2006-06-12T10:45:04-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place sucks. When I viewed the apt. originally, they told me that you can't hear your neighbors and it's quiet. What a lie!
