Welcome to Logan Square
Urban vibrancy with an artsy flair
Stately greystones fleck the leafy avenues of Logan Square, a charming neighborhood known for its Farmer's Market, shops and nightlife. Milwaukee Ave is its main street, lined with independent businesses, cocktail bars and world-class restaurants, makes it a destination for Chicagoans and tourists alike.
Logan Square is home to families and creatives drawn to the historic boulevards and their expansive green space. The Landmark Illinois Centennial Monument, designed by Henry Bacon—the same architect who created the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C, is the keystone in Logan Square’s significant architectural heritage.

Local Lifestyle
Highly walkable with many unique and practical amenities in every direction. Spacious apartments, multi-units, and single family homes, often with generous outdoor space. Home to festivals and events, as well as many historic green thoroughfares with community gardens peppered throughout.
Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
Crossing through the heart of Logan Square, North Milwaukee Avenue—with its eye-catching storefronts, craft breweries, and diverse restaurants offering a multitude of international cuisine—imbues the community with a radiant urban atmosphere welcoming shoppers, diners, and entertainment-seekers. From home goods and fragrances at Fleur to curated art jewelry at Adornment + Theory, retail options abound on the charming sidewalks of Logan Boulevard, where residents can browse on-trend fashion pieces and handcrafted goods at Wolfbait and B-Girls or feed their love of literature with a visit to City Lit Books on North Kedize Blvd.
It’s impossible to talk about Logan Square’s eclectic food scene without mention of the long-standing and still trending Lula Café, a hotspot for brunch and cocktails with servings ranging from salads with buttermilk dressing to desserts and pasta. Try the tacos and over-the-top yet affordable libations, including margaritas, at Taquería Morán, now a local favorite for more than 20 years. Enjoy contemporary farm-to-table dishes paired with whiskey and craft cocktails at Longman & Eagle, and cool off with a coco loco sundae or banana milkshake at Margie’s Candies.
Things to Do
With great biking paths to explore, museums to tour, art events to lose yourself in, and verdant parks to help you catch your breath, Logan Square offers something for each and every one. Seven acres of lushness await at the Palmer Square Park, featuring a Velveteen Rabbit-themed playground and plenty of shade trees to relax under or walk your dog. Take an early morning jog along the scenic 606 trail, where bikers and runners take full advantage of their recreational moments, or spread out a picnic blanket with your friends at Humboldt Park. Spring mornings can be spent at the beautiful large pond, watching the turtles, geese, and fish and listening to birds chirp overhead. Be sure to catch a flick at The Logan Theatre or hit the bowling alley at Diversey River Bowl.
