South Kensington, MD

South Kensington is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Montgomery County, just north of Washington, D.C. Its boundaries are not formally defined in the way a municipality's would be, which is common for close-in Maryland suburbs. The community sits near Kensington, Chevy Chase, and the Connecticut Avenue corridor, giving it a residential, commuter-oriented character. South Kensington is best understood as a small, established Montgomery County neighborhood area with access to Metro, local schools, parks, and the broader Bethesda-Kensington orbit.
