About Us

Kensington Gardens is minutes from Smith Haven Mall; a huge choice of supermarkets; large box stores (i.e. Costco, Lowes,); IMAX Multi-Plex Movie Theater; Restaurants of every ethnic food variety, and so much more.  Immediately adjacent to Kensington Gardens is Veteran’s Memorial Park with tennis, basketball and volley ball courts, baseball & soccer fields and many picnic areas with BBQ grills plus a great playground for the grandchildren. Residents of Kensington Gardens have full access to these Park facilities with proof of town residency.

The 3000 sq ft. clubhouse at Kensington Gardens offers amenities designed to suit your preferred lifestyles. You can enjoy a daily workout in the state-of-the-art fitness center, play a competitive game of cards with friends in the card room, read a book in the library, or just relax in the lounge in front of the fireplace. Sports enthusiasts can gather with friends in the lounge to watch your favorite sports on the large LED TV.  For outdoor enthusiasts — swim a few laps in the heated outdoor pool — or simply rest in a lounge chair on the sundeck.

Seventy (70) of the residences* at Kensington Gardens have 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths with gas heat/hot water; and central air conditioning.  Buildings are 2 stories with ground level or upper level units.  Several upper level units have a private elevator. An attached garage and a storage area in basement are also included for many of the units.

*Rentals: Twenty (20) of the 90 residences have been designated as rental properties for persons 55 +. These are all one bedroom, one bath units that have become appealing to some as 2nd residences for “Snowbirds” and to help fill in the gap of insufficient rental housing for seniors in this area.
 
Nestled in the private enclave in St. James, NY, Kensington Gardens is just minutes away from all that you are looking for in a neighborhood.  Whether you prefer the day to day activities of a local bustling village or a quiet walk in the park, St. James offers both… and much more.  
 
Right out your front door, Veteran’s Memorial Park provides tennis courts, a basketball court and baseball and soccer fields – there’s even a large playground and picnic area for your youngest of visitors.  Or take a quick drive and visit Blydenburgh County Park for a casual hike, freshwater fishing at Stump Pong or even a picnic by the pavilion.  

Nearby, you will find an abundance of top-rated restaurants, treasured historic sites, the newly expanded Smith Haven mall, and quaint picturesque villages.  There’s also grocery shopping, golf, entertainment and more.  If you are looking to expand you horizons even farther… travel to the city or to points south and east are made easy by the access to the LIE and Northern State Parkway.  St. James is small town living with big city convenience.
