Kensington - Coral Springs, FL Area Guide

Vibrant South Florida living

Welcoming Upscale Nature Park-Like

On Florida’s Atlantic coast just 15 miles southwest of Boca Raton, Kensington is a verdant Coral Springs neighborhood on the edge of the Everglades. Kensington is impeccably laid out, with classic Florida- and Mediterranean-style homes separated by canals and ponds. The Sawgrass Expressway forms the area’s northern borders, while Wiles Road forms the southern boundary. To the east lies Coral Springs Drive and to the west is Coral Ridge Road, making Kensington a relatively small suburban locale. There are plenty of neighboring communities that offer a plethora of dining and shopping choices. Head east to the North University Drive to enjoy taco spots, Mediterranean grocers, and pizza places. The commuting crowd can use the expressway or University Drive to get to Boca Raton, Downtown Coral Springs, or even in Miami in almost no time at all.

History

-

Rainbow Hills lies within the far west region of San Antonio, a city founded in 1718. At one point the largest Spanish settlement in Texas, San Antonio became part of the United States after the nation annexed Texas. Known for developing quickly, the city had one of the fastest growth rates in the nation towards the end of the 20th century.

While San Antonio has many museums and art galleries, none of them can be found in Rainbow Hills. The neighborhood doesn't have any annual events.
