Area Guide
Known for its Spanish-style homes and manicured lawns, the Kensington neighborhood in northern San Diego offers residents a quiet place to get away from the hubbub of city life. The neighborhood lies just south of the I-8 freeway in the pocket created by I-15, Montezuma Road, and Fairmount Avenue Expressway to create an oasis that's only 15 minutes from the downtown area.
Stroll through the compact neighborhood on a balmy evening or join other locals at the Kensington Club for drinks and live music. If you want genuine Mexican food, make your way to Ponce's, a hole-in-the-wall treasure and Kensington's best-kept secret.
