Our Top Kensington Moving Tips

Kensington is a peaceful enclave nestled in Brooklyn, bordered by the neighborhoods of Borough Park, Flatbush, and Windsor Terrace, along the tree-lined, serene streets.

As you transition into your new Kensington residence, here are some neighborhood highlights to get you familiarized with your new neighborhood:

  • Cost of living and transportation. The neighborhood’s real estate market has seen an upward trend with median home sale prices hovering around $550K. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Kensington typically ranges from $2,500 to $2,600. When it comes to transportation, Kensington is serviced by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) F and G subway lines at the Church Avenue, Ditmas Avenue, and 18th Avenue stations, providing residents with convenient commuting options to other parts of Brooklyn and into Manhattan. Bus transportation is also accessible, like the B69 MTA Bus route operating from Downtown Brooklyn to Kensington.
  • Local eats and diverse cuisines. Diverse flavors and Bangladeshi bites. A variety of food spots are recommended in the serene neighborhood of Kensington. One gem is the Thai Farm Kitchen, known for its authentic Thai cuisine and welcoming atmosphere. A short distance away in Borough Park, the Sammich Shop awaits to serve unique sandwiches and beautifully crafted drinks in a family-owned casual setting. Ghoroa Restaurant, a Bangladeshi restaurant, stands out as a lively counter-service spot where locals gather to enjoy a quick breakfast of roti and curried potatoes before their daily commute. The beef teheri, made with nutty kalijira rice, is a crowd-pleaser. While Sonia Cafe opens its doors to those craving fresh small Bangladeshi bites. Meanwhile, Shingara specializes in fried Bangladeshi delights, serving shingara or pakoras that are perfect for a quick bite on the go, embodying the spicy, dense, and delicious essence of Bangladeshi cuisine. For the pizza lovers, Uncle Frankie’s Brick Oven Pizza offers a cozy retreat with its tasty brick oven pizzas and salads.
  • Parks and leisure. Kensington, with its unique historical charm, invites locals and visitors alike to explore its remnants of the past like the Prospect Park Stable, the only remaining stable in the area that has been in operation since 1930. The stable offers private and group lessons in English and Western style riding, and trail rides around a 3.5-mile bridle path in the park. For leisure and relaxation, try a day at Brooklyn Banya, a spa offering two traditional Russian saunas, one steam room, pool, jacuzzi, and an ice dunk, as well as Platska treatments and a variety of spa services. Prospect Park and Prospect Park Lake are notable spots for serene nature walks and water views, while Kensington Dog Run and Detective Dillon Stewart Playground provide specialized spaces for pet and family-friendly activities.
  • Neighborhood bars and pubs. In or near the Kensington neighborhood lies a variety of nightlife. Shenanigans Pub is a local spot offering a traditional pub atmosphere, while Hamilton’s is another local tavern serving comfort food with some global twists, plus brunch, in a cozy and relaxed setting. For a more eccentric experience, Sycamore Bar + Flowershop is a unique that combines a bar, florist, and music venue all in one. For sports enthusiasts, check out 773 Lounge and catch a sports game at the bar or enjoy their live music on the weekends.

    From start to finish my move was a great experience. I immediately got a quote. The scheduling was easy, and they provided me with information regarding insurance coverage (and took care of the paperwork my building provided). The move itself went like clockwork. The movers arrived on time and texted me when they were on their way with an ETA to the delivery site. They moved everything up the 3 flights of stairs into my apartment quickly and safely. A great company that provides great service at very reasonable rates.

    They were awesome! They take everything apart and then re assemble for you.They wrap up your tvs and glass shit professionally. They take the legs off your couch so it fits through doors. Everything's wrapped until it's inside so it doesn't ruin the paint on your walls if they rub against them.Not even a wine glass was chipped.

    They came at zero hour after the moving company I initially hired and paid a deposit to canceled. I was freaking out about my move not happening at all but they did get this done and my stuff arrived more or less intact and accounted for. They handled changes and snafus gracefully and earned their money. Hopefully I won't be moving again for a long time but if I get forced into that again, I'll remember this experience.

    Was very easy to call and set up a move. The price was good to. I had some mix-ups and needed to add items and even change the date, but they were able to easily accommodate. Day of the move the crew was super nice and professional. They quickly packed up the entire apartment with ease, I didn't really lift a finger. They made what is usually a stressful day pretty easy.

    I was amazed how efficient the guys were. they sorted out my items to be removed and, went straight to work. We will definitely use A Piece of Cake multiple times in the future until, we officially make the BIG MOVE! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP....YES, IT WAS A PIECE OF CAKE! NO STRESS INVOLVED...JUST SWEET SERVINGS.....

    Piece of Cake Moving was phenomenal to work with. From the initial sale, to the follow up, to the day of delivery. The moving crew themselves were a dream to work with. I honestly don't know how they managed to move everything we'd accumulated over the years in such a short (relatively) period of time. Will definitely use them again (in hopefully 7-8 years).

    Jose and his team did a great job moving my husband and I. They arrived on time and were very organized. They were professional, courteous and moved us quickly. They wrapped our furniture very well. They took apart and put together our bed and sectional couch. We were very pleased and would recommend them.

    Nicholas and Giga made this moving experience an easy one, especially since I was moving alone. They were punctual, kind and very thoughtful. When we arrived to my apartment? They helped unwrap all the packing tape and set up my furniture and bed - something that would take probably days for me. They delivered excellent service and went beyond my expectations.

  • star star star star star

    Excellent moving company. I hired 2 men for 2 hours to complete 1 bedroom move. They arrived early, were extremely efficient, helpful, personable, strong, and careful. They finished the job with 45 min to spare. Everything went extremely smoothly. I would hire Piece of Cake again.

    Great move with POC movers! I rented their pink bins which was an excellent choice, they provide plenty of packing paper, zip ties, and tags. My team arrived right at the start of their arrival window and quickly and safely packed all my bins and furniture into their truck. The team just as efficiently unloaded everything, leaving the bins in the labeled rooms and re assembling my bed frame. I definitely recommend renting their bins. I would definitely use Piece of Cake movers again and recommend them to a friend.

    The movers were so professional, friendly and quick. They took such great care of my stuff. I happened to move on one of the hottest days of the year and felt so bad. They were gracious and so still worked quickly. Pls make sure you tip your movers good, they work hard and were really great!

    I had made an appointment from another moving company that completely screwed me over the day of. I called every moving company in New York freaking out, and Piece of Cake was willing to come at 7pm to help me move, last minute. I genuinely don't know what I would have done if they didn't go out of their way to fit me in. Anytime in the future I will be using piece of cake moving! They boxed and unboxed so fast and efficiently, it was amazing!
