North Kensington, MD

North Kensington is a census-designated place and unincorporated area in Montgomery County, north of Washington, D.C. Its boundaries are not officially fixed in the way a municipality's would be, which fits its role as a named suburban area within a larger county fabric. North Kensington sits near Kensington, Wheaton, and the University Boulevard corridor, with homes, apartments, parks, schools, and commuter routes defining daily life. It is practical, residential, and closely tied to the inner Maryland suburbs.
