A wealthy enclave 15 miles north of Chicago, Kenilworth is a family-friendly suburb. There's hockey in the winter and lacrosse in summer in a large park near the town's center.

The town boasts a 1905 Frank Lloyd Wright home that's on the National Register of Historic Places. Other homeowners continue to enjoy the spoils of the 19th-century urban planners who made sure residential plots were large and designed the streets to maximize the sunlight to each house.
