Kensington is an artistic neighborhood in Philadelphia that offers unique rentals, partially due to the spacious studio and loft apartments available. There are also several affordable and modern townhomes for rent in town that attract families. You’ll find locals heading down Frankford Avenue to the artistic Fishtown neighborhood which is full of craft breweries and charming pubs. Check out Philadelphia Brewing Company or Memphis Taproom for some local brews. Try a cheese pie at Pizza Brain, which doubles as the nation’s only pizza museum, or chow down on bratwurst at Frankford Hall, a large, indoor German beer garden.
There are several stops on the area’s commuter rail line in Kensington, as well as plenty of bus routes to get to Center City, located less than five miles away, making this neighborhood a more affordable yet convenient option for in-city living.

About the Listing Agent
Tim Brogan
Coldwell Banker Realty
After graduating from Rider University, playing Division 1 Soccer all 4 years, I entered into the Pharmaceutical industry as a sales representative. There, in my career, I spent a decade as a top producing sales rep for some of most well-known Pharmaceutical companies. After successfully investing in buying and selling properties, I decided to make a career jump and in 2010 I joined Coldwell Banker in Old City to pursue my real estate journey. I entered into the Real Estate field fully loaded with extensive sales and marketing training along with top notch customer service. Born and raised in Northeast Philadelphia and living in Northern Liberties since 2003, makes me a lifelong Philadelphia resident! This not only gives me an advantage but also allows me to advise my clients with a personal touch. My considerable knowledge of Philadelphia's rich history and the market gives my business an authentic edge.
