Introduction
Kenwood is on the shore of Lake Michigan on the South Side of Chicago with the boundaries of 43rd Street, 51st Street, Cottage Grove Avenue, and the lake. Kenwood was once an area of affluence and still has some of the largest single-family homes in the area. Kenwood is also the home of President Barack Obama and was the home of Muhammad Ali.
Transportation
Kenwood is serviced by the CTA Green Line, as well as the ME train and Busses #28 and #6.
The area also has access to Lyft/Uber rideshare services and taxi services. Unfortunately, this means that rideshare accidents, pedestrian accidents, motor vehicle accidents, and public transportation accidents can be common in the area.
Demographics
Kenwood has a population of 17,601 in its 1.09 square miles. According to the most recent U.S. Census, the median income for the area is $39,158.
Education
Kenwood students are primarily serviced by Chicago Public Schools, which include:
- Kenwood Academy
- Canter Middle School
- King College Prep High School
- Ariel Community Academy
- Beula Shoesmith Elementary School
Private schools in the area include:
- Ancona Montessori School
- Cambridge School of Chicago
- Akiba-Schechter Jewish Day School
- Hales Franciscan High School
When sending your child off to school you assume they will remain safe, however, this isn’t always the case. School bus accidents, gym and physical education accidents, lack of supervision, daycare accidents, playground injuries, and school district negligence are just a few examples of the types of school injury cases America’s Consumer Lawyer has experience with.
Attractions
Kenwood is home to many activities and attractions, which include:
- Hyde Park Art Center
- Kennicott (Jonathan) Park
- Little Black Pearl Workshop
- Kenwood Park
- Gwendolyn Brooks Park
- Burnham Nature Sanctuary
- 49th Street Beach
- KAM Isaiah Israel Congregation
While most of the time spent at these Kenwood attractions will be enjoyable and uneventful, accidents can occur, including premises accidents, slip and falls, bicycle accidents, bus accidents, car accidents, drinking and driving, dog bites, and playground accidents.
