Kenilworth is one of the North Shore’s hidden gems — small, charming, and impossibly scenic. It’s one of the smallest villages in the area, and that’s exactly what people love about it. With all the neighborhood kids attending Sears Elementary School, there’s a real sense of connection and community here. Families know each other, neighbors look out for one another, and the streets feel warm, welcoming, and close-knit.

What makes Kenilworth so special for us are the gorgeous lots, beautifully maintained homes, and those rare lake views that make every walk or drive feel like a little escape. It’s the kind of place where you notice the details — the tree-lined streets, historic architecture, and quiet elegance that make this village so unique.

We love visiting Kenilworth to stroll the streets, admire the homes, and enjoy the peaceful vibe. It’s a village that perfectly blends small-town charm with North Shore sophistication, giving residents a true sense of belonging.

The combination of Sears Elementary, a tight-knit community, and beautiful surroundings makes Kenilworth a standout. For anyone who visits, it’s easy to see why people fall in love with this special corner of the North Shore.
