Median days on market
Kensington sits close to the center of everything in Orlando, with a quick 10-minute run into downtown and easy access to the Metro West corridor for shopping and everyday errands. This is a settled residential pocket where homes have room to stretch — the median size runs about 2,207 square feet — and the location does a lot of the heavy lifting: Universal is roughly 20 minutes out and MCO about 33.
For buyers, the market here moves fast. Homes are selling at a median of one day on market and sellers are pulling in about 98% of asking, so pricing has been sharp and competitive. With just seven active listings and a median list price of $384,000, you'll want to be ready to act — and it helps to compare against nearby options like College Park and Laureate Park to understand where value sits.
Kensington is a community in Orlando, Florida.
