South Kensington is known for being the location of the famous Washington D.C. Temple, informally yet steadfastly known to longtime area residents as the Mormon Temple. At certain points, while rounding I-495 (also known as the Capital Beltway), it's impossible not to notice a gleaming white building standing out from the hills and treetops that line each side of the interstate. Following the brilliant sight leads you right to South Kensington, a little place with a whole bunch of history.
The Kensington area originally functioned as a less humid alternative for prominent turn-of-the-century D.C. residents and visitors. To this day, it's not uncommon to hear Washingtonians refer to the whole D.C. area as a swamp and it can get extremely humid. Back in the day, portions of Kensington, including South Kensington, were sought-after havana where visitors and residents could escape this overbearing weather. Eventually, people started buying land and staking claims. Eventually, this former garden suburb became a full-blown city and South Kensington was born out of Greater Kensington. South Kensington is part of the Greater Kensington area. Located in the southern section of Montgomery County, South Kensington shares its border with Bethesda and is only about 10 miles away from Washington, D.C. As is the case for many residents of the D.C. metropolitan area, many of the people living in South Kensington are federal employees and work in some capacity for the government. Public transportation is a vital method of getting around the region and several nearby Metro hubs, as well as a MARC station, are only part of what make South Kensington a great place to live.
