At the Heart of Kensington: The Kenten Meets One of Calgary’s Best Neighbourhoods.

Kensington Named One of Calgary’s Best Neighbourhoods of 2025 — Experience It from The Kenten

Avenue Living has once again highlighted Kensington as one of Calgary’s Best Neighbourhoods of 2025. Much of that acclaim comes from its perfect blend of walkability, culture, greenspace, and local charm. Now, imagine living where that vibrancy meets luxury—that’s The Kenten.

For buyers searching for exceptional luxury real estate, Calgary luxury homes, or premier condos for sale Calgary residents are proud to call home, Kensington continues to set the standard.

Kensington: Why It Stands Out

A walkable, art-filled core: Heritage brick storefronts, murals, boutique galleries, and independent bookstores like Pages and Sunnyside Art Supplies give Kensington a distinctly urban‑village vibe.

Café culture central: From iconic Higher Ground to artisanal Aggüdo and long-time favourites like The Roasterie, Kensington boasts a coffee scene built on decades of true community.

Lifestyle at your doorstep: With over 250 small shops and eateries, outstanding pubs like Kensington Pub and Hayden Block, plus attractions like the Plaza Theatre and the Regal Cat Café, every stroll reveals something new.

Nature just steps away: Riley Park offers family-friendly greenspace, and the Bow River Pathways invite walking, jogging, or biking with downtown views and an urban-river connection.

Introducing The Kenten

Perched on the corner of Memorial Drive and 10th Street, The Kenten takes its name from Kensington and Tenth—a nod to its landmark location in Calgary’s most celebrated neighbourhood.

Boasting just 44 exclusive residences, the building offers expansive floor plans ranging from approximately 1,500 to more than 4,400 square feet. Designed to maximize natural light and showcase sweeping views of the Bow River and downtown skyline, each residence delivers the scale and comfort often associated with Calgary’s finest high end homes.

With retractable glass curtain walls stretching up to 22 feet across, the design transforms living spaces into true “bungalows in the sky.”

Inside, residents will find premium European-inspired interiors featuring Sub-Zero appliances, butler pantries, private terraces, heated floors, custom millwork, and generous entertaining spaces. For those exploring luxury homes for sale Calgary offers, The Kenten represents a rare opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a luxury residence without the maintenance demands of a traditional estate property.

A Perfect Match: Lifestyle & Luxury

In-Kensington, Out-of-Ordinary

Just steps from Kensington’s cafés, groceries, and galleries, residents of The Kenten enjoy the walkable energy that Avenue describes — but from the comfort and sophistication of a curated and simplified lifestyle.

‍Elevated Amenities‍

The Kenten offers over 8,000 square feet of amenities to socialize and relax — a Sky Lounge with views, private gym, hot tub & sauna, golf simulator, concierge services, and even a car wash.

Riverfront Access & Outdoor Living

Residents step right onto the Bow River Pathways, and live close to Riley Park and the Peace Bridge — making scenic runs, walks, and bike rides part of their everyday routine.

What the Neighbourhood Says

A longtime Kensington resident summed it up perfectly:

“The draw is unparalleled. I can’t imagine another community bordered by one of the largest urban green spaces ... the river and downtown core ... some of Calgary’s best local businesses ... strong community … no reason to leave when it’s all right here."

The Kenten builds on that legacy, placing residents at the centre of Calgary’s most desirable urban experience while offering the elevated lifestyle expected from premier luxury homes and exceptional luxury real estate.

Final Thoughts

Kensington remains Calgary’s benchmark for walkable, art-rich, community-centred living. The Kenten elevates that experience by combining the character of the neighbourhood with sophisticated architecture, expansive residences, panoramic views, and world-class amenities.

For buyers seeking luxury homes for sale, exploring Calgary luxury homes, or considering the finest condos for sale Calgary has to offer, The Kenten represents a rare opportunity to live in the heart of one of the city's most celebrated communities.

If Avenue Living’s feature sold you on Kensington’s lifestyle, The Kenten gives you the opportunity to experience it at its highest level.
