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. Kensington is also conveniently connected by CTrain, making it easy to explore other parts of the city, including the Calgary Zoo, downtown core, and Stampede Park.

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.
The maximalist style embraces bold colors and layers of texture. If you love cozy chaos, you’ll feel right at home.
