July 31, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
So far my move has gone well, my main concerns are people not cleaning up after their pets! I have only been here for 3 weeks and have seen urine in the elevators consistently! Also, the carpets throughout the community are filthy! They look as though they have not been cleaned in AGES! They should be cleaned or simply replaced. This is very concerning, having a baby who I don’t even want to put down in the hallways in case he touches the carpets.

May 1, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
Ive 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.
