Median days on market
Kensington is a settled residential pocket in Orange County, close enough to the Central Business District to make a downtown commute feel like an afterthought — roughly ten minutes door to door. The streets here lean toward established homes on real lots, with a couple of gated enclaves and pool properties mixed in, and neighbors who chose the area for its balance of space and access. You're twenty minutes from Universal and about forty to Walt Disney World, which puts the whole Orlando region within easy reach without living on top of it.
For buyers, this is a small, slow-moving market where patience pays. There are just six active listings right now, priced from $255,000 up to $1,067,900, with a median list around $426,500 — so inventory is thin but the range is wide. Homes here take their time, a median 121 days on market, yet sellers are still getting about 98% of asking, so sharp pricing matters more than lowball offers. If Kensington is tight, it's worth comparing against nearby Metro West and the broader pool of Orlando homes for sale.
Kensington is a community in Orlando, Florida.

Kensington FAQs
Is Kensington a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want quiet, established streets with quick access to the city — downtown Orlando is about a ten-minute drive, and Universal is roughly twenty. Assigned schools include Pinewood Elementary, Robinswood Middle, and Maynard Evans High. The neighborhood is residential and low-key rather than a nightlife or shopping hub, so it's best for those who'd rather commute into that energy than live in it.
Is Kensington expensive?+
It's priced in the middle of the Orlando market, with a median list around $426,500 and homes selling at a median of $450,000 over the past year. The average works out to about $228 per square foot. There's room at both ends, from a $255,000 entry point up past $1 million, so the ceiling is higher than the typical sale.
What do homes cost in Kensington?+
Active listings currently run from $255,000 to $1,067,900, with a median list price of $426,500 and a median size near 2,297 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 23 homes sold at a median of $450,000. If you want to broaden the search, nearby Metro West offers a similar feel with its own inventory.
How is the market right now?+
It's a thin, measured market — just six homes are active, and the median time on market is 121 days, so listings don't move fast. That said, sellers are still collecting about 98% of asking price on average, meaning well-priced homes hold their value. Buyers should be ready to wait for the right listing rather than expect a flood of options.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA here runs about $182 a month, which is typical for a neighborhood with gated sections and shared upkeep. Property taxes come in around $4,065 a year at the median. For renters weighing the math, the median rent is about $2,450 a month.
