Logan Square

Live in Chicago, and you’ll never be bored! Especially when you rent an apartment in Logan Square – there’s always a place to be and a place to be seen in the neighborhood.  

One of the best things about living here is simply being able to stroll down the historic boulevards and admire the historic architecture. For a little culture, visit local art galleries (Firecat Projects is the best!) and catch live music at Logan Square’s oldest blues venue, Rosa’s Lounge. No matter your interests, Logan Square will keep you busy and entertained. Here are some of our favorite spots:

• Logan Theatre 
• Humboldt Park 
• Logan Square Farmer’s Market 
• The 606
• The Lincoln Lounge 
• Logan Arcade

The shopping in Logan Square gives you everything you want, and then some! From everyday conveniences to locally owned boutiques, the neighborhood has it all. 

When it comes to groceries, you’ll find lots of local options like Tony’s Fresh Market and Safeway. There’s a Target on Milwaukee Avenue that has great grocery options too. Other conveniences include several pharmacies and the ultimate necessity of all – coffee shops that are scattered throughout the whole neighborhood. 

But what truly sets Logan Square apart is its thriving small business scene. Local boutiques and shops dot the streets. From Lost Girls vintage clothing shop to Skunk Cabbage book shop, these independent retailers are the heartbeat of the community. 

For the foodies, the neighborhood’s culinary scene extends to specialty food shops, including butcher shops, bakeries, and gourmet grocers. The diverse immigrant communities in the area have also given rise to international markets and ethnic food stores, making it fun to try new cuisine anytime the mood strikes. Check out neighborhood favorites like Kurowski Sausage Shop, Joong Boo Market and Borinken Cakes.

Even though Logan Square is an urban neighborhood, it has great parks, recreation options, and green spaces. Most famously is the historic Logan Square Park – a public square anchored by the iconic eagle-topped Illinois Centennial Monument. 

One of the neighborhood’s prettiest green spaces is Logan Boulevard, a tree-lined parkway that stretches for over a mile and is flanked by historic mansions and charming boulevards. This peaceful stretch is perfect for leisurely strolls, jogging, or biking. 

When you live here you’ll love being close to the Bloomingdale Trail (commonly known as The 606), a former railway line turned elevated park and trail that winds through the neighborhood. A popular spot for walkers, joggers, and cyclists, The 606 is adorned with public art and provides breathtaking views of the Chicago skyline.

Humboldt Park, located near Logan Square’s southern border, is the area’s largest park. At 197 acres, it’s a hub for outdoor activities and has lagoons, gardens, sports fields, and a historic fieldhouse. Take your dog out for a run around the park or pack an afternoon picnic and enjoy a beautiful summer day in your neighborhood! 

One awesome thing that sets Logan Square apart from other Chicago neighborhoods is its focus on events and outdoor festivals. The best community event is the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival, where art, music, and food come together in perfect harmony. More than 250 artists, three live music stages, and the best food trucks in Chicago make this an event you can’t miss!

You can rent an apartment in Logan Square and get practically anywhere in Chicago, thanks to the neighborhood’s awesome public transit. 

The CTA Blue Line runs right along Milwaukee Avenue, making the trip to downtown Chicago super quick. Hop on, and you’ll be in the heart of downtown in less than 30 minutes. Public bus lines run throughout Logan Square too, and are an easy way to get around Chicago’s North Side and beyond.
