East MLK is a quaint, historic neighborhood just four miles east of downtown Austin and eight miles north of the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. With such luxuries in close proximity, East MLK residents have easy access to lively downtown streets and international travel.
The Austin Independent School District offers public schools like Norman Elementary School, along with community parks and open green space. On its way to becoming a wonderful recreational space for Austin residents with a master plan in progress, Little Walnut Creek Greenbelt covers 200 acres of undeveloped space in this residential neighborhood.
Residents appreciate the abundance of local restaurants in and around East MLK. Be sure to try Contigo, modeled after the owners’ family’s Texas ranch. This incredible restaurant has a covered patio and full bar that flows into outdoor ranch-style seating.

Property Ratings at Kensington
Apartments are old and dirty! There's NEVER hot water! Terrible roach infestation and management compulsively lies about repairs!!!! DEFINITELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT!!!!!!!!
Apartments are really old and everything in them functions poorly. AC is extremely loud and also doesn't even get cold enough to be useful in the summer. Washers and Dryers are perpetually out of service. Dishwasher doesn't dry the dishes sufficiently so metal items will rust and become destroyed All of what I've written so far is marginally tolerable, but it has been 4 months since I moved out and I have yet to receive my security deposit back. At this point it seems that the company is trying to defraud me or the staff is incompetent Either way, I recommend moving here if you like paying average rent for a really old and low quality apartment. Also if you liked getting fucked on application fees and not having your security deposit returned, then this place is perfect for you
Here's the Kensington: high crime, drug lab explosions, rats, dumping on property. Run away. Very fast.
