About KENSINGTON 1ST ADDN
Kensington 1st Addn is an established residential subdivision in the Ferry Pass area of Escambia County, just north of Pensacola proper. The neighborhood features single-family homes on modest lots along quiet interior streets, typical of Ferry Pass's mid-century and later suburban growth.

The University of West Florida and Pensacola State College are both a short drive away, making Kensington popular with faculty, staff, and commuters. Easy access to I-10 puts downtown Pensacola, Pensacola Beach, and the Florida-Alabama state line within reasonable reach. Neighboring communities like Riverview, Northpointe, and Cypress Point add to the area's established residential character. Kensington 1st Addn suits buyers seeking a settled Ferry Pass address without the density of newer developments closer to Pensacola's core.
