I love this very diverse neighborhood. It is the same neighborhood that President Obama has a home in. The area gives you a suburban feel but city view. Kenwood is blocks away from downtown Hyde Park where you can go shopping, dining and to the movies. You are steps away from the lakefront beaches and a fantastic scenic view of downtown Chicago skyline.
I love living here. It is safe and clean which is the main reason I moved here. I love the fact that it has good transportation system and there are great universities in the neighborhood
We don't have to worry about the majority of natural disasters; however, the winers are insanely cold and the schools are constantly being closed due to the snow and cold
