The Scene in Logan Square
Centennial Monument in Logan Square
Set along extra wide leafy streets, massive turn-of-the-century mansions are the backdrop to beautiful gardens and well-maintained lawns in Logan Square. A strip of green grassy medians are almost a secondary front yard for the occasional barbecue or picnic get together. These are the Logan Square boulevards. Bicyclists travel leisurely up and down these stately thoroughfares but you can just as easily imagine that once upon a time, horse-drawn carriages once did the same. The Illinois Centennial Monument is the centerpiece of Logan Square and stands proudly as an icon to this fast-growing neighborhood. Bikers, runners and families with strollers stay active on the 606 Trail, a 2.7 mile elevated pathway that connects Logan Square to Wicker Park, Bucktown and Humboldt Park.
Where is everyone en route to in Logan Square? That would be the hotbed of restaurants and bars — and multiplying breweries and distilleries — that are now a destination in themselves.

Find It in Logan Square
The roundabout traffic circle where Logan Boulevard meets Kedzie Boulevard and Milwaukee Avenue cuts through what is considered "The Square" and is home to Logan Square Park but the boundaries of the entire neighborhood are quite large. Continuing south on Milwaukee, another major intersection at California Avenue is nightlife central. Palmer Square and its namesake Palmer Square Park (2200 N Kedzie Ave) is a quiet residential pocket. Haas Park (2402 N Washtenaw Ave), Unity Park (2636 N Kimball Ave), Mozart Park (2036 N Avers Ave) and Kosciuszko Park (2732 N Avers Ave) are a few of the other tranquil green spaces that can be found throughout the Logan Square neighborhood.
Get Around in Logan Square
Logan Square is a sizeable area, and where the CTA Blue Line 'L' doesn't cover transportation needs, many major bus routes help supplement (including #73 Armitage, #74 Fullerton, #75 Diversey, #49 Western, #52 California, #82 Kimball).
The 24-hour train line is convenient to downtown and O'Hare International Airport with stops at California (elevated station) and Logan Square (subway station; note a secondary Spaulding entrance/exit a few blocks further north).

Logan Square Commuting
Logan Square Divvy Bike Station
There is also a Metra train station, Healy, for the Milwaukee District/North line on the neighborhood's western skirts, not to mention a prominent bike culture for the active commuter. By bike, take Milwaukee Avenue southeast from Logan Square and it's just a 10 minute ride to the neighboring artsy area of Wicker Park. Head farther northwest on Milwaukee Avenue and you will find yourself in the heart of Avondale - another Chicago neighborhood that is ready for a real estate resurgence.
Zoom In on Logan Square
Both boulevards are lined with beautifully restored homes on wide lots, and whether you are out casually brunching or people watching or snacking at the sprawling Logan Square Farmers Market, you get the sense of a tight knit community that is welcoming, hard working and proud. And has an independent streak: check out Wolfbait & B-Girls for a shop that boasts handmade goods from over 170 local artisans.
See its creative side through its art and cultural hubs: Galerie F, home to works by local artists and patron to street art, Chicago's brick-and-concrete canvas; Comfort Station, a former transit shelter turned multidisciplinary space for exhibits, screenings, concerts and more; and Hairpin Arts Center with its year-round cultural programming. If it's more music specifically that you want, Rosa's Lounge has the blues covered, while other venues varying in size and vibe draw local and up-and-coming talent: from dives and no-frills stages mainstays like Logan Square Auditorium.
Get a taste of the emerging nightlife district that extends beyond the boulevards on Milwaukee Avenue, between Fullerton and Sacramento. Some places to start? Revolution Brewing, the largest independent craft brewery in Illinois, has its brewpub on this block (and its production brewery nearby with tours open to the public). Have a swill in the tasting room followed by a tour at Chicago Distilling Company, a small-batch craft distillery that turns out vodka, whiskey and gin from organic grains sourced from Illinois. Or find the ultimate rec room in Emporium Arcade Bar.

Anchoring the Area in Logan Square
The Logan Square Boulevards District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, and is part of the greater Chicago Park Boulevard System Forming a sort of "Emerald Necklace", these green spaces are interconnected by a system of 8 parks, 19 boulevards and 6 squares. Logan Square has the distinction of being home to four of those boulevards (Logan, Kedzie, Palmer and Humboldt).
Designed by Henry Bacon (the same architect of the Lincoln Memorial), the Illinois Centennial Monument is a symbol of the neighborhood. Topped with an eagle sculpture, the 70-foot marble column is a landmark that stands tall in the center of the busy public square.
See the neighborhood from an elevated perspective on The 606, a 2.7-mile trail that rises above city streets as a former train line turned bike-and-running path.
With its iconic marquee glowing outside, The Logan Theatre screams vintage. The movie house was established in 1915 and after thoughtful renovation, boasts original detailing, an adjacent lounge and four screens showing a mix of new blockbusters, independent picks and classics. Though currently closed, the massive Congress Theater is undergoing renovation in the hopes of reviving the designated Chicago Landmark to its glory as a stunning 1920s era auditorium.

Palmer Square (a southern pocket of Logan Square)
Palmer Square Park Chicago
A southern pocket of the Logan Square neighborhood south of Fullerton Ave to Armitage Ave, Palmer Square is comprised of an area encompassing three of Logan Square’s four main boulevards: Kedzie Boulevard (its eastern border), Sacramento (Humboldt) Boulevard, and Palmer Boulevard; plus a stretch of Milwaukee Ave between Fullerton Ave and Armitage Ave lined with shops and restaurants.
The area is perhaps most known for its rectangular, 7-acre namesake park which sits between Kedzie and Humboldt Boulevards (west and east ends, respectively), and Palmer Boulevard (on its north and south). This open green space is part of the city’s historic boulevard system, a thread of parks connected by wide boulevard roads, with tree lined medians.
Families often take advantage of the park’s play area for kids, which was designed with inspiration from the children’s book, The Velveteen Rabbit. But couples and friend groups will also post up in the park for a picnic or gathering, and runners will frequent the path that traces the park's outer border.
Palmer Square Walking Path Chicago
The homes encircling the park were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, many of them preserving some of the original interior design features like wood-detailed trims, hardwood flooring, built-in hutches, fireplaces, radiated heat, and up to 9-foot ceilings. A majority of these residences are brick and graystone, multi-unit buildings which started out as single family homes and then were later converted to apartment units.
The neighborhood area has a mix of single-family homes, apartment buildings, historic houses and new builds. The housing market in Palmer Square, and Logan Square overall, is highly competitive and prices for houses tend to be more than $600k and in some cases upwards of $1 million. Apartments and condos for sale in Palmer Square range from $250k to $550k.
Within the boundaries of Palmer Square are some Logan Square neighborhood dining favorites including Bang, Bang Pie & Biscuits (2051 N California Ave), Table Donkey and Stick (2728 W Armitage Ave), Bungalow by Middle Brow (2840 W Armitage Ave) and Parson’s Chicken & Fish (2952 W Armitage Ave).
