Overview

Kensington sits 4 km north‑west of Melbourne’s CBD and is celebrated for its village feel, cafés and a blend of Victorian terraces, cottages, warehouse apartments and newer western builds. Tree‑lined, hilly streets lead to green spots such as J.J. Holland Park and the Kensington Banks riverfront park. Local schools – Kensington Primary and Holy Rosary – are within walking distance.

Three train stations – Kensington (Craigieburn line), South Kensington (Werribee/Williamstown) and Macaulay (Upfield) – give frequent city access, complemented by tram 57 along Racecourse Road and bus routes 402 and 404. Housing is medium‑density with a 50/50 owned‑rented mix, ranging from heritage terraces to modern apartments; median rent is $416 weekly. The 2021 census recorded 10,745 residents, median age 35 and a median weekly household income of $2,216.
