Kensington Pointe is a 2000–2005 single-family community on DeKalb’s south side — Kensington Boulevard west of South First Street — where three- and four-bedroom homes trade in the low-to-mid $300s with no reported association fee and a pond-and-park setting.
Kensington Pointe went up between 2000 and 2005 on DeKalb’s south side, along Kensington Boulevard and its courts west of South First Street near Taylor Street. A note on dates, because sources disagree: some listing aggregators describe the community as early-2010s, but the MLS-fed record — construction dates on sold homes and two independent data sources — puts the build-out squarely at 2000–2005, and that’s what buyers should expect walking the streets: established early-2000s housing with twenty-plus years of landscaping growth.
The homes are single-family only, running from compact 1,247-square-foot plans (the Brookhaven model, per MLS-fed sources) up to about 3,080 square feet, most with three to four bedrooms. Recent closed sales have run $305K to $360K with a median near $325K — right beside Heatherstone in DeKalb’s move-up band. Amenities reported include a pond, park space, sidewalks, and street lights, and average property taxes have run around $6,000 per MLS-fed data.
Like Heatherstone, Kensington Pointe carries a buyer-pleasing detail: no mandatory association fee is reported. Combined with the south-side location — minutes from both the Peace Road I-88 interchange and the south-side employment corridor — it makes a strong case for commuters who want an established neighborhood without a monthly obligation. We verify taxes and any parcel-level assessments on every listing regardless.
