Kensington Forest: Large Homes in a Smaller Neighborhood
About 178 large homes from 2005 on, roughly 2,700 to 4,800 square feet, with a pool.
Living in Kensington Forest
Kensington Forest has about 178 homes, started in 2005, and they are large: roughly 2,700 to 4,800 square feet. Amenities include a pool, a playground, sidewalks and streetlights.
The combination of big homes and a relatively small neighborhood is what sets it apart. You get the square footage of a move-up home without living in one of the town's largest communities, in a quieter town about 18 miles from uptown Charlotte.

Buying or Selling in Kensington Forest
For buyers moving up, a home this size changes the monthly picture beyond the price: taxes, utilities and upkeep all scale with square footage. We put those numbers side by side during the search. Homes from the mid-2000s on also deserve a close look at roofs and systems during due diligence. Moving up in Harrisburg covers how we plan the sale and the purchase together.
For sellers, there are only so many large homes in a neighborhood this size, so the Seller Market Position Review often looks at comparable large homes in nearby neighborhoods, such as Abbington, as well as sales inside Kensington Forest. Selling your home in Harrisburg covers the launch.
