Several thoughts come to mind when you hear the phrase “Quality of Life”; a protected area to live and bring up a family, access to respectable schools and churches; affordable housing and an abundance of green space.

Kensington truly is a wonderful place to call home. Kensington is bordered by friendly communities; rural farm estates, ocean front cottages, campgrounds and affordable ocean frontage. Wholesome sea air and untouched land is just right for solitude or investment.

Kensington has become identified as “The Small Town with a Lot to Offer”. We’ve preserved the genuineness of our “smallness” but we pride ourselves on offering many places to shop, dine, exercise, and be entertained! Our welcoming small-town ambiance makes it an impressive destination to visit, live or start a business.

Kensington’s nearby proximity to Cavendish, Charlottetown and Summerside allows for easy travel and tranquil panoramic views.

We welcome you to Kensington and Area; our future is about sustainability, growth, progress and community.
