The Keninsington Community Association 

by Mikey and Steven Hall

The Kensington is a gated community of single family detached homes located in the Westridge neighborhood of the city of Aliso Viejo . The secluded Kensington community, includes a total of 154 estate size homes with a single entrance off Oak View drive.

Kensington owners do not have an association pool or spa. The original builder of the tract was Richmond American. Note that Square footage may vary depending on the model and model options selected by the original owner, as well as, additions constructed later.

Access to the 73 freeway is only a short drive away. While located in a rural setting, the Westridge communities are positioned within a short distance of the ocean and its resort towns; freeway arteries leading to major employment areas, and the shops, restaurants and amenities of Mission Viejo, Laguna Beach and Aliso Viejo.

The 73 freeway links up with the 405 freeway corridor and provides quick access to the financial centers of Fashion Island Newport Beach, the John Wayne airport area and South Coast Plaza. The 5 freeway links up with the Tustin employment centers and shopping centers.
