Come to Logan Square for trendy restaurants and convenience

Logan Square is a trendy Chicago neighborhood with lots of local charm. Local businesses and restaurants line Milwaukee Avenue, and the neighborhood’s year-round farmers market is a city favorite. Wide boulevards and green medians give Logan Square residents extra space to spread out, and there are plenty of commuter options in the neighborhood, including several stops on the Blue Line.

Logan Square is known for its restaurant scene and farmers market

If you're looking for a spot to eat in Logan Square, you've got several options in the Milwaukee Avenue corridor, including:

  • Lula Cafe, a modern farm-to-table breakfast and dinner spot
  • The Whale, a high-end American joint with ribeye and lamb chops on the menu
  • Andros Taverna, a Greek and Mediterranean restaurant
  • Longman and Eagle, a restaurant and inn with an upscale menu
You can also get your foodie fix at the Logan Square farmers market, which sets up along Logan Boulevard in the summer. “People get all dressed up in their best vintage, and people will bring their strollers and dogs,” says longtime Logan Square resident Camille Canales, a broker with Compass. “They do it year-round, and in the winter, they rotate different venues.”

You can find historic renovations and new construction in Logan Square

Nearly 70% of Logan Square residents are renters, but that number is changing. “There’s a growing homeowner scene with lots of new construction and renovations,” says broker Lucas Blahnik with Christie’s International Real Estate. “You’ll see a lot of two-flats renovated into single-family homes.” Historic Victorians and cottages are also popular single-family options in the area. Condos are common as well, ranging from historic and contemporary three-flats to larger complexes. Street parking can be tricky, though some single-family homes have detached garages in alleyways behind homes.

Many Logan Square condos include patios, a perk for city living in Chicago.

Logan Square has plenty of green spaces

On nice days, you can hang out on green strips of lawn running down the boulevards. “Because they’re extra wide, you get people who have impromptu picnics in the summertime,” Blahnik says. “You’ve got these little parties everywhere, like people celebrating a kid’s birthday or listening to music.” Other green spaces include:

  • The 606, aka the Bloomingdale Trail, a paved 3-mile trail that's popular with pedestrians and cyclists
  • Palmer Square Park, which has a running track and sculptures
  • Kosciuszko Park, popular for its indoor pool, tennis courts and athletic fields
There are also plenty of pocket parks throughout the neighborhood, so you’re always close to a green space.

You don't need a car in Logan Square

Canales says a lot of Logan Square locals go without a car. Sidewalks make the neighborhood very walkable, and bike lanes are all along the major avenues. You could also take the 606 for more separation from cars. Still, lots of residents elect to bike down busy Milwaukee Avenue. “It used to be called Hipster Highway because a lot of people would bike along it instead of taking the train,” Canales says. Buses stop throughout the neighborhood, and the Blue Line has multiple stops in the neighborhood, with quick routes to Chicago O’Hare or The Loop. The MD-N Metra stops here as well. For drivers, the neighborhood borders Interstate 90/94, which offers a 15-minute commute to downtown.
