Homan Square Homes for Rent

Homan Square, located 5 miles west of downtown Chicago, is a neighborhood undergoing significant revitalization since the late 1990s. The area features a mix of housing styles, including newly built townhomes, condo buildings, worker’s cottages, brick three-flats, and greystones. The neighborhood is known for its grid-like streets, making it easy to walk to local parks and restaurants. The Chicago-Kansas City Expressway borders the north, facilitating convenient commutes to downtown and other parts of the city. A notable development in Homan Square is the 70,000-square-foot community center, which offers an indoor pool, gym, and various health and family services. Adjacent to the community center is Homan Rails Farm, promoting sustainable gardening and seasonal produce harvesting. While yard space is limited, residents enjoy proximity to Boler Park and the expansive Garfield Park, which features baseball diamonds, soccer fields, tennis and basketball courts, and miles of paved trails around a scenic lake. The neighborhood is well-connected with easy access to the Blue L Line at the Kedzie-Homan station and several Chicago Transit Authority bus stops. Dining options include locally owned spots along Roosevelt Road, such as Soule, known for its creole-infused soul food, and Dave’s Red Hots, famous for Chicago-style hot dogs. Grocery shopping is convenient with Freshway Market nearby. The area is zoned for City of Chicago School District 299, with local students attending Gregory Math & Science Academy and Manley Career Academy High School.
