Overview

Kensington lies just 5 km east of Adelaide’s CBD, where its uniquely diagonal street pattern follows the course of Second Creek. The suburb is dotted with heritage‑listed homes, former inns such as the Rising Sun and the Kensington Hotel, and the historic Norwood Swimming Centre, while leafy green spaces like Borthwick Park and Kensington Pioneer Park provide river‑red‑gum shade, native‑plant revegetation and river‑bank protection.

Well‑served by education and transport, Kensington hosts Marryatville Primary (around 545 students in 2022), Mary MacKillop College, a preschool and specialist STEM facilities for Pembroke School. A tram line once ran along High Street, linking the area to the city centre, and today the proximity to major roads and nearby suburbs such as Norwood and Kensington Park make commuting easy. The blend of preserved 19th‑century brick residences with newer dwellings offers a varied housing mix for families and professionals alike.
