In Chicago's street grid, Kedzie Avenue is located at 3200 West, 4 miles (6.4 km) west of State Street (0 East/West).

Between Palmer Street (2200 North) and Logan Boulevard (2600 North), Kedzie Avenue is part of Chicago's boulevard system and, as such, is signed as Kedzie Boulevard.

On its path through the city, Kedzie passes through the neighborhoods of (from south to north) Mount Greenwood, Ashburn, Chicago Lawn, Gage Park, Brighton Park, Little Village, Lawndale, East Garfield Park, Humboldt Park, Logan Square, Avondale, Irving Park, Albany Park, North Park and West Ridge.

Kedzie Avenue was referenced by Stunt Taylor in "Fe Fe On The Block" which references street parties, held on Kedzie, known as "Fe Fes".
