While small in size, Kensington offers a variety of lifestyle options for residents. Look forward to outdoor exercise after work? You can hit the tennis courts at the Cedarbrook Swim and Tennis Club or build up your fitness by enrolling in a water aerobics class. If you prefer early workouts, get a taste of the crisp morning air while biking along the Rock Creek Trail just west of town or hitting the hiking trails at Rock Creek Park.

Just a few miles from town is an artistic hub with community events to engage your creative side throughout the year. The warm, naturally lit venue at the Music Center at Strathmore is a great spot to enjoy the sights and sounds of talented musicians and performers. Just next door is The Mansion gallery, where you can stop for an afternoon tea with friends as you walk through the sculpture gardens.

As a healthcare professional, you might also want to free up a Saturday to spend at the National Museum of Health and Medicine. With collections that are focused on the history and practice of American medicine and on current medical research, the museum may give you even more reason to be inspired about your chosen profession.

Living in Kensington, you’d be surrounded by a friendly and active community. Get to know more of your neighbors at Kensington’s Saturday Farmers’ Market or the many volunteer Weed Warrior events during the year, where you can help beautify the town while protecting native plants and wildlife.
