KENILWORTH

http://www.villageofkenilworth.org/

Located a mere sixteen miles from the Loop, Kenilworth is the smallest and most affluent of the North Shore communities. Nestled on Lake Michigan, Kenilworth is the product of planner Joseph Sears, who believed streets should be platted to maximize the availability of sunlight in each home, utilities should be hidden underground, and no fences or alleys allowed. His legacy is high construction standards and an appreciation for both building and landscape architecture. The result: arguably the North Shore’s most distinguished community.

Residential

In keeping with its reputation for luxury and exclusivity, Kenilworth residences resonate opulence. Kenilworth has the largest collection of buildings by George W. Maher, a contemporary of Frank Lloyd Wright. Maher lived in Kenilworth and saw nearly forty of his designs constructed between 1893 and 1926. Palatial estates set on sweeping grounds easily establish the magnificence that connotes the name Kenilworth.

Commercial

Due to its smaller size, most Kenilworth residents live
within one mile of its village shops, train station, highly regarded schools, and beautiful beach. Commercial development has been limited in the interest of maintaining the perfection of this suburban paradise, with businesses found only on Green Bay Road.
