Kenmore Avenue

Runs parallel to Pecan Avenue with a similar transitional character near the district boundary.

Kenmore Avenue in context

Kenmore Avenue runs parallel to Pecan and shares its position on the district's eastern edge, but the two streets are not interchangeable. Kenmore is more uniformly bungalow, with fewer of the transitional and later houses that give Pecan its mixed look, and its blocks read as a single build-out rather than a sequence of them.

Canopy is moderate: real trees, real shade in most places, without the closed ceiling of the interior streets. Houses are one to one-and-a-half stories with the standard vocabulary of the type — front-gabled or side-gabled roofs, porch piers, exposed rafters — and a good number retain original siding beneath later work.

The street's practical appeal is its position between two amenity sets. Central Avenue's businesses in Chantilly are a short walk east; Elizabeth's own park and commercial cluster are a longer but manageable walk west. Buyers who want a bungalow inside a historic-adjacent context and are willing to be at the edge rather than the center find this street reasonable on both counts.
