What’s up with…Old Kensington

Old Kensington is a revitalized community located north of Northern Liberties. Whether you call it Old Kensington or you tack on the letter "e" for that Olde Kensington effect, the ever-changing neighborhood has been through a lot.

The working class community is a haven for many artists, with the Crane Arts Building providing gallery and event space. There are some great taquerias nearby and good times to be had at the eclectic music venue and bar, Kung Fu Necktie. The view of the Market-Frankford line is both gritty and inspiring. The area has played host to new construction and funky architectural touches. Recent additions like the Piazza at Schmidt's and Liberties Walk are only a few blocks away, for those who prefer to live in a quieter part of town, but still want to have fun activities within walking distance. You got it.

The sun is not shy in this part of town, as the lack of tall buildings allows for an excellent view and a generous delivery of sunlight. We love Old Kensington, especially this hot new version of it.
