History of Kensington: Thanks to B&O passenger trains and streetcar lines, the neighborhood developed into a commuter community where those who worked in Washington, D.C. lived - a quieter place without the hustle and bustle that comes with owning a home in the nation's capital. Much of the neighborhood's early identity remains in Kensington's Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Local businesses largely support the economy, and Victorian-style homes are within walking distance of Antique Row, the largest antiquing district in the D.C. area. But murals on the sides of these Howard Avenue buildings nod to the present-day, and newly constructed townhouses are conducive to modern lifestyles.
