Kendall-Whittier includes homes, apartments, schools, institutions, industrial uses and several commercial corridors. The residential neighborhood is larger than the Main Street commercial district.
The neighborhood’s working boundaries are Utica Avenue, Harvard Avenue, the BNSF railroad along Dawson Road and 11th Street. I-244 crosses the neighborhood rather than defining its northern edge.
These compass names help residents talk about places within Kendall-Whittier. They are not official census districts, attendance zones or legal boundaries. Exact analytical boundaries and verified figures will come from the existing neighborhood census and mapping projects.
Renters and homeowners who actually live here are residents. Property ownership by itself does not establish residency or qualify someone for a residency-restricted discussion.
