Rogers Park is known for its diversity, dining and beaches
Rogers Park is full of activity. It’s known across Chicago as a very diverse neighborhood, both in population and experience. Situated along Lake Michigan, its eastbound streets end at small neighborhood beaches. Restaurants line Glenwood Avenue and Clark Street, all local. It’s not uncommon to see your neighbors out, walking to the beaches or to catch dinner.
Rogers Park is a diverse neighborhood at the north end of Chicago.
North Shore Beach Park is located on the north side of Chicago near Loyola University.

There's a mix of housing options in Rogers Park
Most of the properties in Rogers Park are brick low- and mid-rise condo and apartment complexes. Some are standard Chicago two- and three-flats, but most of them are larger square buildings with more units in them. Single-family homes are interspersed amongst bigger buildings, ranging from cottages to American Foursquares and Victorians. “For the longest time, these properties were not available because people loved it, but now there’s more young couples moving in and renovating them,” says broker Mark Keppy with Baird and Warner, who has lived in Roger Park since 2013. “I had one house that only had two owners, and it was from the 1800s because it stayed with the families.” Rogers Park’s parking situation gets a bad reputation because of all the multi-family housing. Most people park on the street, but single-family homeowners have garages in alleyways behind homes.
Foursquare stucco homes are one of the more common single-family housing styles in Rogers Park.
There are a number of vintage courtyard buildings in Rogers Park.
Two flats are a common housing type in the Rogers Park neighborhood.

Affordable housing slowly competing with nearby neighborhoods
Rogers Park is more affordable than most surrounding neighborhoods, but it is slowly becoming a more competitive market. Rogers Parks median housing price is about $260,000. Meanwhile, neighboring Andersonville's is almost $600,000, and Evanston's is $670,000. In Rogers Park, you can get a condo between the mid $100,000s and mid $400,000s. Most single-family homes range from the mid $500,000s to low $900,000s, but some homes can cost even higher. “We’re seeing homes over a million for the first time,” Keppy says. “It was sporadic before, but now we’re seeing it consistently.” In addition to the mix of housing options, people find the home and property sizes attractive in Rogers Park. “If you look at the lot sizes between standard Chicago lots and our lots, most are oversized,” Keppy says. “Some people are looking here for the yards.”
Rogers Park's diverse dining scene and happenings

Local beaches line Lake Michigan
Between the beaches and Loyola Park, most of the lakeshore is public space in Rogers Park.

It includes one of the community’s beaches, which has lifeguards out during the summer. Other beaches include:
Rogers Beach Park

Rogers Park's public charters and private universities
Younger students head to Chicago Public Schools. It’s a school choice district, so students can apply to attend those outside their zone. Chicago Math and Science Academy is a highly rated public charter for grades six through twelfth and focuses specifically on STEM. Loyola University Chicago’s main campus is also in the neighborhood, full of Art Deco architecture. The private Catholic college serves about 17,000 students but doesn’t bring a college-town vibe to the community. “They’re right on the tip of Rogers Park, so when they do leave campus, they usually get on the train and go to one of the more hip neighborhoods like Wicker Park,” Keppy says.
Loyola University sits along Lake Michigan in the Rogers Park neighborhood.
Students sit on the lawn in front of the historic Madonna della Strada Chapel in Rogers Park.

Rodgers Park is NOT a nice place to live in. It is dangerous after dark , run down, and I would think a bad place to raise a family. People that disagree are not being honest with themselves. The rents are relatively high, and the rental buildings are to a large extent run down.

Rogers Park is such a tremendous place to raise a family, live, and work. We are two blocks from the lake and find ourselves there most warm days. Rogers Park is #1 in Chicago(perhaps the state) for diversity in ethnicity and culture. This means great neighbors, great food and great activities year round. I have been here for 13 years and it's my favorite place.
