Overview

Kensington lies just 4 km north‑west of Melbourne’s CBD and offers a distinct village feel, with leafy, hilly streets lined by cafés and a blend of Victorian terraces, cottages, warehouse apartments and newer western developments. The 2021 census recorded 10,745 residents, a median age of 35 and a median weekly household income of $2,216, while nearby green spaces such as J.J. Holland Park and a river‑front reserve provide easy recreation.

Transport is a strong point: three train stations (Kensington on the Craigieburn line, South Kensington on the Werribee/Williamstown lines and Macaulay on the Upfield line) connect the suburb to the city, complemented by tram 57 along Racecourse Road and bus routes 402 and 404. Medium‑density housing dominates, with 5,547 private dwellings (88.3 % occupied) and a median rent of $416 per week, reflecting a balanced mix of owned, rented and public‑housing options.
