Located just minutes from downtown Calgary, Kensington is one of the city’s most beloved and walkable neighbourhoods — a vibrant village within the city. Known for its charming streets lined with independent boutiques, artisan coffee shops, cozy pubs, and award-winning restaurants, Kensington offers a perfect blend of urban energy and local character.

Whether you're browsing unique shops, catching a film at the historic Plaza Theatre, or strolling the scenic Bow River pathways, there’s always something to discover.

Getting Around:
Kensington is exceptionally walkable, with cafés, restaurants, shops, and grocery stores all just steps away. You can easily explore the area on foot or hop on a bike to enjoy the nearby Bow River pathways and downtown Calgary.

Public transit is also a breeze — the Sunnyside CTrain station is just a short walk away, offering direct access to downtown, Stampede Park, the BMO Centre, and beyond. Bus routes run frequently through the area, and ride-sharing services like Uber are readily available.

Whether you're walking, biking, taking transit, or catching a ride, Kensington makes getting around simple and stress-free.

Other Things to Note:
This unit is a basement suite, and we do not allow pets due to allergies.
