Local knowledge
Painting in Kensington
Kensington has a hidden village character that surprises people. Tree-lined streets of Federation homes sit quietly just off the busy Anzac Parade corridor. The suburb blends academic influence from nearby UNSW with established family living, and the housing stock reflects this mix. Federation-era homes with decorative timber details and period colour palettes occupy the quieter streets, while modern units and apartments line the main road. Heritage terrace houses add further variety, and the student-influenced rental market near the university generates steady demand for quality internal repaints and touch-up work.
On the ground in Kensington
What does painting a house in Kensington involve?
Three of Randwick City’s conservation areas touch Kensington: West Kensington, Sacred Heart and the Racecourse Precinct (Randwick City Council). West Kensington is the odd one out, a triangular subdivision between Dowling Street, Todman Avenue and the Australian Golf Course where every allotment sits at 45 degrees to the compass, so afternoon sun lands on elevations that would normally be shaded. The Racecourse Precinct picks up the houses on the eastern side of Doncaster Avenue that back onto the track.
Away from those streets Kensington is a flat suburb in both senses. At the 2021 Census 71.4% of occupied homes were flats or apartments and 54.8% were rented (ABS QuickStats, Kensington, 2021). An unusually high 17.6% of private dwellings were unoccupied on census night, which fits a student market counted in August. For us that means vacant unit interiors and strata common areas more often than full exterior house repaints.
