Historically known as an actors' and artists' quarter, it has a sizeable gay community and a network of attractive streets with esoteric shops, plenty of small hotels, and a good range of pubs. There is an annual one-day "Kemptown Carnival" during which the main thoroughfare of St. George's Road is closed, and market stalls, street performers, and musicians take over. There are often also processions as part of the carnival, and at other times of year. Kemptown's venues play their part in the annual Brighton Festival. The Royal Sussex County Hospital is based in Kemptown.

The Royal Sussex County Hospital is based in Kemptown. There is a space available to the community in the crypt of St. George's Church, known as The Crypt, which was built with support from a European Union urban regeneration fund. Around the same time as The Crypt was proposed, a community development group known as The Kemptown Network was founded. The network has since been disbanded, but a humanitarian aid charitable organisation, which was one of its first projects, continues as Aid Convoy.
