[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see how Kensington is declining. Building tons of houses in that neighborhood off Cedar I think it is[/quote]

I ageee that Kensington is vibrant.  Some things close and other things pop up, like the great pizza place and the relatively new playa bowls. One thing it needs is a better bus line to metro.  We bought on the bethesda side to take advantage of the buses.[/quote]

Kensington used to be looked at with an air to it in the 80s/90s. It has lost some of that appeal.[/quote]

I think the people "with airs" moved west to Bethesda/Potomac and now Kensington has more of a Silver Spring/Wheaton vibe. Which is actually what I like about it.

I thought this thread was about neighborhoods that seemed to be going downhill with crime and economic adversity but I don't think Kensington qualifies. I live in DC and am thinking about moving out of it due to crime, and Kensington is one of the areas we've been drawn to even though when I was in my 20s I considered it sort of stodgy and stuck up. It's hard to say if I've changed or it's changed, but either way -- it hasn't gone "downhill" in the spirt of this thread.[/quote]
