What's up with...Kensington

By
Real Estate Agent with The Somers Team at KW Philadelphia

Kensington is a northern neighborhood past Northern Liberties and northwest of Fishtown. The formerly industrial area is next to the Market-Frankford line.

The working class neighborhood is experiencing an artistic rebirth along the Frankford Arts Corridor. Each year, the neighborhood hosts the Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby, a design competition and parade that rides through Kensington and Fishtown. Walking Fish Theatre brings a variety of entertainment to Frankford Avenue. Some of the city's best local beer is made at Philadelphia Brewing Company.

Christopher and Stephanie, My daughter and I would sure love to visit the art fair.  What a beautiful way to help restore a neighborhood...fill it with beauty.
