Neighborhood

Perched on the hills north of Berkeley lies Upper Kensington. This area is connected by Arlington Avenue, which for over half a century was traversed by a tram. The main stop in upper Kensington is the intersection of Arlington and Amherst, given the small collection of businesses in the area centered here. The market, coffee shop, wine store, and cheese shop are the central hub. Tilden Park and Blake Garden are two beautiful green spaces located in and around Kensington. Most residents regularly visit the expansive trails in the area, as they provide hillcrest views of nature to the east and one-of-a-kind three bridge views to the west. 

A few other interesting facts:

  • Claims the most number of nobel laureates per capita (2/5000)
  • Was the home of Robert Oppenheimer when he was working on the Manhattan Project
  • Kensington Hilltop Elementary is rated in the top 4% of all elementary schools in California
