Kensington is a small town with a train station at its center. The historic B&O station on Howard Avenue still serves the MARC Brunswick Line, and on Saturday mornings it hosts the farmers' market. I'm James Buckley, owner of Canopy Property Group at eXp Realty, with $750M+ in career transactions across the DC metro. This page covers how I help buyers look at homes in Kensington, ZIP 20895.
A lot of daily life happens within a short walk or drive of Howard Avenue and Connecticut Avenue.
Kensington is one ZIP code and a fairly small pool of homes, so a few sales can move the numbers. Here's where 20895 stands right now.
Market Metric | Kensington 20895 (Bright MLS) |
|---|---|
Closed Sales | 251 |
Median Sold Price | $885,000 |
Median Days on Market | 8 days |
Sold-to-list price | 100.0% |
Active Listings | 53 (median list price $900,000, as of November 5, 2026) |
Months of Supply | about 2.5 months |
Get ready before you tour. With a small inventory, the right house may only come up a few times a year. We start with a Buyer Strategy Session to line up your financing, criteria, and timeline. Then I set up a custom search with early notice on new and pre-market listings. When the right one comes up, I build the offer from recent 20895 sales, so you know what a strong offer looks like before you write it.
My buyers have averaged a 96.3% Sale Price / Original List Price ratio, versus a 100.0% sold-to-list price ratio for Kensington 20895 (Bright MLS). They've reached contract in about 26 days on average and won 55%+ of their multiple-offer situations.
For some trips, yes. The Kensington MARC station at 3701 Howard Ave is on the Brunswick Line, with weekday trains toward Silver Spring and Union Station. Garrett Park is the stop just before it. Check the MTA schedule for your hours, since service runs on weekdays only.
Kensington homes are in Montgomery County Public Schools. Assignments follow the street address, not the ZIP code, so two houses a few blocks apart can go to different schools. I check the MCPS assignment for every house before you write an offer.
Call or text me at (202) 979-9561, or book a free Buyer Strategy Session. We'll talk about what you want and what's realistic in 20895, with no pressure.
