a closer look at kenilworth Kenilworth is located approximately 17 miles north of downtown Chicago. It is the newest of the eight Chicago suburban communities that make up “the North Shore,” and is the only one developed as a planned community. Since its incorporation, the beauty of Kenilworth has attracted many distinguished residents including architect and town planner George W. Maher, who was an early purchaser. A contemporary and colleague of Frank Lloyd Wright, Maher, in due course, proceeded to design approximately 37 homes in the village. His town planning expertise and civic dedication further enriched the village with most of the parks and civic sculpture – including the entry fountain, stone benches, planter urns, bridges and entry pylons – that residents enjoy today. a closer look at kenilworth The Stats POPULATION: 2,513 AREA: 0.6 sq. mi.
