Kensington sits just about 10 minutes from downtown Orlando, which puts you close to the center of everything while still feeling like a settled residential pocket. Homes here run to a comfortable size — the median is around 2,215 square feet — and the location is genuinely central: Universal Orlando is roughly 20 minutes out, MCO airport about 33, and Walt Disney World close to 40. If you're comparing it against other west-side and near-town options like Metro West or a broader search of Orlando homes for sale, Kensington's draw is that short commute paired with real square footage.
The market is tight but not frantic. There are just 5 active listings right now with a median list price of $450,000, and homes are moving in about 32 days. Over the last year, 19 homes sold at a median of $484,000, with sellers collecting roughly 99% of asking — a sign that well-priced homes trade quickly. Buyers weighing this against communities like Hunters Creek will find fewer options here, so being ready to move matters.
Kensington is a community in Orlando, Florida.
