Kensington, Connecticut: Berlin's Quiet Southern District
Kensington is a census-designated place in the town of Berlin, Hartford County, with approximately 8,459 residents. The community occupies the southern portion of Berlin, centered around the intersection of Chamberlain Highway and Farmington Avenue. Kensington developed more slowly than Berlin's other villages, retaining a residential character dominated by mid-century homes on tree-lined streets. The Mattabassett River and its tributaries run through the area.
Berlin's government provides all municipal services for Kensington, including the Berlin Police Department, volunteer fire companies, and the public school system. McGee Middle School and Berlin High School serve secondary students from the CDP. Kensington's Chamberlain Highway corridor includes a small commercial strip with professional offices, a pharmacy, and a few restaurants, but most shopping needs are met in the Berlin Turnpike retail zone to the east or in nearby New Britain and Meriden.
The Metacomet Trail, a long-distance hiking path following the traprock ridge system of central Connecticut, passes through the Berlin area. Ragged Mountain, a popular rock-climbing destination, sits a few miles north. Kensington residents benefit from proximity to I-91, Route 9, and Route 15 (Wilbur Cross/Berlin Turnpike), all of which converge in the Berlin area. Hartford is about 15 minutes north.
