[quote=Anonymous]Unless you're living in downtown Bethesda, and the $1.5M+ price tag that comes with owning a SFH there, Kensington is more walkable than anywhere else in Bethesda. DH and I chose Kensington over an area zoned for Whitman specifically because of of the walkability. If you live in the Town of Kensington you can walk to a grocery store, several restaurants, the post office, the bank, a lot of charming antique and speciality stores, a MARC station and several gorgeous parks. The good thing about Kensington is that it has room to grow and there is already momentum to change a lot of these charming - but underused - storefronts to businesses that cater to a younger crowd. PPs mentioned Jenny Cakes and Frankly Pizza, which are examples of this, and there is currently a wine bar / beer garden opening across Connecticut next to the new hardware store. I don't see any reason why development would slow down, especially because all the high-end development that's coming in close by along the Purple Line in Chevy Chase, Bethesda and in Rosemary Hills is inevitably going to increase prices even more in these locations and push people who can't afford $1.5M+ homes a little further up to places like Kensington.[/quote]
