The Powhatan or Powhatan Apartments is a 22-story luxury apartment building overlooking Lake Michigan and adjacent to Burnham Park in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. This housing cooperative is the most expensive residential high-rise on Chicago's South Side per tenant.^[1] Since it and many of the neighboring high-rise apartment buildings are named for Native American tribes (such as the Algonquin, The Chippewa and the Narragansett), the area has been given the tongue-in-cheek name "Indian Village".^[2] It was designated a Chicago Landmark on January 12, 1993.^[3]
