About Logan Square

Logan Square is a community area on Chicago's Northwest Side centered on the historic Logan Square boulevard system, a series of grand boulevards and green spaces designed by landscape architect Jens Jensen. The neighborhood is known for its tree-lined streets, landmark bungalows, and a mix of two-flats and greystones, many dating to the early 20th century.

The area has experienced significant demographic and economic change over the past two decades, with new restaurants, bars, and retail along Milwaukee Avenue and the 606 trail attracting younger residents. Logan Square retains a significant Latino population and a mix of longtime homeowners and newer renters. The community area extends from Diversey Parkway south to Bloomingdale Avenue.
