The historic neighborhood of Kenwood is on the shore of Lake Michigan in Chicago’s South Side. The area was once a refuge for Chicago’s elite trying to escape the bustle of downtown. They built enormous homes on Lake Michigan’s shoreline that are now gorgeous, historic landmarks. Landmarks and architecture, historic streets, and a continuously growing commercial district defines this Chicago neighborhood. The Powhatan Apartments and the Chicago Beach Hotel (now Regents Park) are recognized by the National Register of Historic Places in Kenwood.
Kenwood offers parks and open green space, lake views, paved trails, great restaurants, public transportation, and nearby amenities. Houston Park, Kenwood Park, and many others are open to the public year-round. The Hyde Park Art Center is a community spot with major exhibitions showcasing local artists and must-see events throughout the year.
