    Roscoe Village

    I know where Chandler and Joey are. But where did Roscoe?…read more Maybe to Yemen? Oh wait that was Chandler. Lovely little village with tons of eclectic ethnic food and awesomeness up in the north suburbs of Chicago. One of my favorite little neighbourhoods, and also has the second best deep dish slice in the city in my opinion. I come to Roscoe Village all the time and it's one of the places I would consider living if I was around here.

    IT REALLY IS THE VILLAGE IN THE CITY.Or is it the suburb in the city?…read more I lived here for a few years and since moving away have been reflecting on my honest thoughts with the neighborhood. I will first say that I am not a Chicago/IL native so I was always a little biased in terms of neighborhoods in Chicago and what is deemed "safe" and "nice" and "cool". In all honesty I would rate good old RV 3.5 stars rounding to 4 and here's why. There are no parks. The nearest park is Hamlin and that's not Roscoe Village. That's more west lakeview south on damen. There are also no farmers markets. Like none. The nearest farmers market is in East Lakeview or Logan Square. There is no efficient public transit nearby. Good luck getting anywhere in a timely manner. The nearest trains (brown Paulina and brown Addison are not exactly close nor walkable in sub-zero Chicago winters). Very inconvenient location from the Loop. Most people in this neighborhood seemed to be a two car family. Just like the 'burbs. Traffic is a nightmare. The main thoroughfares (Western, Damen, Ashland, Diversey, Belmont) are all congested traffic nightmares. Western is about to be destroyed down to two lanes from George to Waveland (one north, one south) for the next two years. It will make getting out to this neighborhood from downtown all the more inefficient. Evidently city planners didn't take into consideration the 4k students at Lane Tech, the 1k people at DeVry or the other hundreds of students at the other college prep school on California and Addison. Fail. Restaurants on the main strip of Roscoe are subpar at best. Volo is good but the rest I could pass on. We ventured more into other neighborhoods like Logan Square to do our eating and drinking. Now onto the good which is why it is considered a desirable Chicago neighborhood. It's great for families, very kid friendly at most establishments, and even better if you can afford a SFH. If you have one kid then I suppose a condo works, but since there aren't any parks nearby you may want a yard with that SFH. That'll run a cool $1M or so also so it's not exactly the most affordable. But it's a steal compared to Lincoln Park or Southport Corridor! I grew up with a yard and am partial to my kid having one too. Again if you grew up without a yard or were raised a more urban person you may feel differently. The neighborhood school is a top 5 CPS elementary. Bear in mind it's CPS which is insolvent and "best of CPS" really isn't something that's worth touting. It's like saying "what's the best motel 8 to stay at?" You get my drift. It's one of the worst public school systems in the nation which is why many Chicago parents (even in this neighborhood) go the private school route. It's crime free, relatively speaking by Chicago standards. Petty crimes mostly according to the CPD. Though over the recent fall months there was a crime spree of auto thefts and cars on cinder blocks.... you can imagine the shock when stepping outside and seeing your neighbor's car on blocks with all the tires missing like something Straight Outta Compton/East LA. So yes, crime even happens in Roscoe Village sadly. That said, like any Chicago neighborhood, a garage is a great asset. Overall it's a good place to live with lots of nice people, family oriented, long term neighbors, and a "village in the city" vibe. You lose a little bit of the metro feel out here, it's an outskirt of the city in terms of neighborhoods but can be the perfect blend for folks looking for something a little more quiet.

    Logan Square

    Logan Square is a continuously gentrifying area of Chicago. It's one of the "hip" neighborhoods in…read moretown. Lots of restaurants, some concert venues and the like. It's got several notable parks, such as Palmer Square Park, Unity Park, and Kosciuszko Park. What makes Logan Square special is that it's part of the boulevard system, and it has these beautiful wide boulevards which have large, park-like medians. I've seen people having gatherings, picnics, barbecues and the like here in the medians along Kedzie. I don't actually spend much time in Logan Square or its environs, but probably should. There's Emporium or Fireside Bowl if you're looking for fun (and I think Pink Squirrel is in the area, if you want to try duckpin bowling); more than one brewery, I think, though Revolution Brewing is the big one I think. Lots of great public art, from the Greetings from Chicago and Robin Williams murals to the most amazing mosaic commemorating L. Frank Baum and the land of Oz that you've ever seen (Oz Park can suck it). Worth a stroll, and get some Puerto Rican food.

    Logan Square is an area on the northwest side of Chicago that is dear to my heart. Southeast of…read moreLogan Square is the gateway to downtown Chicago. Northwest of Logan Square is the gateway to the most Polish neighborhood in the United States - almost like a little Warsaw. East of Logan Square leads you into the old German part of Chicago, which once covered over a dozen square miles, had 6 German newspapers, and over 100 German stores, restaurants, bars, bakeries, dancehalls, & cultural centers. And west of Logan Square opens onto a seemingly endless stretch of ethnic neighborhoods and faceless buildings that were flung up in grids during the first half of the 20th century. Once, Logan Square was an affluent neighborhood, a rich area of the city one might say, like a late 19th century suburb on the outskirts of Chicago's center. Even today, one can find the occasional stretch of old stone mansions with carriage houses left standing, tucked in between the many 1930's three story brick apartment buildings where other even older mansions once stood, some stretching back to the Gilded Age. Logan Square offers a bittersweet memory of the glory days of Old Chicago, when Speakeasys dotted the city, Sicilian Gangsters drove the streets, and European Immigrants from Sweden, Saxony, and other cities far and wide were pouring into town daily, enriching our lives with their many cultures and their absolutely delicious cuisines. Now Logan Square is just another place among the many spots in Chicago where it's specific history has been lost. Logan Square has become a Subway Station and a Bus Depot. Today Logan Square is just a big Pillar in the middle of the street.
