Located just southwest of Union, Kenilworth is a picturesque borough blending a small-town feel with suburban convenience. Kenilworth’s small-town vibe is most evident along the Boulevard, where a variety of restaurants, shops, and offices in historic buildings are strewn along a charming, tree-dense thoroughfare. Kenilworth is also proximate to a host of national retailers and chain restaurants clustered on U.S. 22.
Kenilworth’s lush natural beauty is complemented by its surrounding recreational destinations, which include Nomahegan Park, Lenape Park, Black Brook Park, and Galloping Hill Park and Golf Course. Kenilworth is also just a short drive from the expansive Watchung Reservation. Home to Merck corporate offices, Kenilworth affords many residents short commute times. Getting around from Kenilworth is simple with access to the Garden State Parkway, U.S. 22, and NJ Transit’s Raritan Valley Line.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
