Kensington is in Sydney's eastern suburbs, about five kilometres south-east of the CBD in the Randwick City Council area. It is best known as the home of the main campus of the University of New South Wales, which gives the suburb a lively, youthful feel.
The CBD and South East Light Rail runs along Anzac Parade, linking Kensington with Central, the city and Randwick, and there are frequent buses on the same corridor. Sydney Airport and the eastern beaches are both a short drive away.
Residents have Centennial Park on the northern edge, Royal Randwick Racecourse next door and plenty of affordable cafes and eateries along Anzac Parade, with a strong mix of Asian restaurants. Coogee and Maroubra beaches are close, and The Australian Golf Club is in the suburb.
New developments include boutique apartment buildings and mid-rise projects along the main roads, near the light rail stops.
Kensington suits students, university staff, young professionals and first home buyers who want a well-connected location between the city and the beaches, with light rail on the doorstep and the energy that comes with a large university campus.
