Kenwood
Originally settled by wealthy Chicagoans while it was still a commuter-suburb, Kenwood is still home to some of the largest single-family homes within the city. Once one of the most affluent neighborhoods of Chicago, Kenwood has still remained a well-known community area, whether as the home of former U.S. President Barack Obama, or for its historic districts and diverse educational options. In addition to the important national figures who have called it home, Kenwood additionally provides its residents with many opportunities to visit and learn about its famous houses and buildings of significance. Grab a bite to eat at one of several delicious neighborhood joints, take an art class nearby, or relax at Morgan Point on Lake Michigan. Want to explore the city or head out for the weekend? The Metra (47th St. Kenwood), local buses, Lake Shore Drive, and the Dan Ryan Expressway are all nearby.
