Just south of Downtown Asheville is the Kenilworth neighborhood, known for its bungalows and 1920s-era homes. Kenilworth is close to the hospital and central to South Asheville, Downtown, and shopping on Tunnel Road—making it a local favorite.
The area has rolling hills, ravines, and many old trees and is home to some of Asheville’s most unique “Spanish style” homes from the 1920s: large stucco homes with tile roofs and unique architectural details.
This Asheville, NC neighborhood is best known for the quintessential historic Kenilworth home, the two-story James Madison and Leah Arcouet Chiles Estate.
Most homeowners in the Kenilworth Community find that living in this area is highly convenient, located within walking distance of Mission Hospital, Biltmore Village, and Kenilworth Park.
