Kenwood, Chicago

Chicago is and always will be a special place for the Obamas, as this city is not only Michelle's birthplace and hometown, but also where the young couple started their family. Before Barack won the presidency, the pair resided in this Georgian revival mansion located on 5046 S Greenwood Ave. for many years.
