Conveniences At Your Doorstep

All of life's essentials are conveniently located minutes from your door which means you can get more done in less time. Grab a fresh coffee on your way to work, meet your friends for dinner or stop at an ATM on your drive home. Kensington's vast range of amenities continues to expand and give you more options for dining, shopping and entertainment for all ages. With endless opportunities to live and play, you're never far from the conveniences you want and need.

Connections In Minutes

Connectivity is an integral part of Kensington's design. Kensington Boulevard, a major roadway, connects the north and south ends of the community and supports safe and efficient travel for all modes of transportation whether you want to walk, bike, drive or use public transit. Residents also have convenient access to the city's North Industrial district via 33rd Street where a hub of industrial and retail development resides. To the south, 22nd Street leads to Saskatoon's lively downtown core in only minutes where shopping, business and entertainment intermingle.

Diverse And Inclusive

The community boasts an adorning collection of homes including condominiums, townhouses, single-unit homes on cul-de-sacs, traditional single-unit lots and contemporary apartments. Whether you are a young couple just starting out, a growing family with children, or young at heart downsizers, Kensington provides comfortable living in a variety of affordable, beautifully designed homes.

Enjoy The Outdoors

A vast network of greenways, sports fields and pathways stretch across the entire length of the community so you have the space to run, stroll or cycle to your heart's content. Two charming ponds situated in the center of the community facilitate recreational bird watching and are home to a number of native plants and wildlife. Enjoy the view from a park bench or explore nature as you take a walk with your family. In Kensington, you can enjoy the perfect symmetry between nature and the urban environment.

Gather At The Village Square

Saskatoon Land designed Kensington's Village Square to reflect the diverse interests and lifestyles of residents within the community.

A smaller raised plaza provides an inviting space for community events or family gatherings with oversized barbeque pits, harvest picnic tables and shade. The larger plaza, set into the surrounding landscape, forms an amphitheater and market space, where the residents can connect through the arts, theater, musical events and other festivals. For more of a quiet contemplation, residents can relax, soak up the sun or read on comfortable single and double wide loungers or enjoy a picnic under the colorful shade sails. The Village Square also proudly features the first all wheel pump track in Saskatoon. The pump track with its small undulations serves as a challenging ride for all ages and abilities.

As winter arrives, power outlets across the park provide the perfect opportunity for the community to display their festive decorations and illuminate the park with holiday lights. Additionally, the village square features a RinkWater box, which can be used to flood the plaza and create a skating rink, keeping both the park and Village Square lively and engaging all year long.

Sustainable Development

Kensington is an eco-friendly community built to harness the power of the sun. Over half of the single-unit homes here are positioned to optimize solar energy use. This design not only helps homeowners support the community's environmental goals but also enhances their economic well-being, reduces their carbon footprint and preserves resources for future generations.
