Kensington is one of Melbourne’s most compelling inner-city value propositions — 3km from the CBD with a village atmosphere, riverside walks along Moonee Ponds Creek, and a tightly held housing stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraces. It has consistently outperformed inner-north benchmarks on capital growth over the past decade.
