[quote=Anonymous]As PPs have said, depending on where you are in Kensington, it feeds into WJ, B-CC, or Einstein.  The WJ parts tend to have older, smaller homes (with the exception the neighborhoods right around Holy Redeemer; those are larger but a lot of the kids go to HR).  B-CC has some of those smaller homes, but also some quite large plots and larger houses.  The Einstein cluster is more of a mix: many smaller homes but some new builds cropping up.

We live in the latter and for the most part, really like it.  I've encountered some hardcore snobbery in the WJ/B-CC parts that's a real turn-off, and for which no amount of gorgeous homes or charming farmers market can compensate.  As for how fast houses go, it all depends on pricing.  A house down the street from us was under contract three days after listing, and I've seen those big, beautiful homes zoned for B-CC sit for months.

Location-wise, it's easy to get to downtown DC, and also SS and Bethesda.  Having Rock Creek Park close is a great thing and depending on where you are, you could be walkable to a few options.  The downtown area of Kensington has a lot of development potential, but I'm not sure how quickly that will be realized, if ever.[/quote]
