New Management
May 1, 2026 - Review from Apartments.comIve been at The Kensington for just a few months and of course I’ve heard about different things around the property. However, one thing that everyone keeps saying is the new property manager is amazing. Keyna and her team are phenomenal. She greets everyone with a smile. And I have seen her even helping out hands on around the property. I’m loving changes she is making and can’t wait to see what else is in store.Property Manager Responded
