Get to know Logan Square

Want to know where Logan Square is? Culturally, it’s where Bucktown and Wicker Park were 20 years ago. There is a thriving music and arts scene, and the food and cocktail culture — which includes some internationally recognized spots — is still joyously experimental. This is all to say that Logan Square is now so hip that the post-hipster wave has noticed and moved in, renovating the great gray stone mansions and demolishing derelict warehouses in favor of upscale apartment buildings. The streets are wide and bike-friendly, and public transportation to the rest of the city is simple, making it one of Chicago’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Logan Square is the latest frontier in the Wicker-Bucktown expansion, and the energy and money of the new residents will continue to bring in restaurants, venues, and shops. Logan Square will be hip — or at least hip-adjacent — for years to come.

Living in Chicago

There may be people who live in Chicago who do not love Chicago, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find one of them. From the shores of Lake Michigan to the sprawling suburbs, Chicago is a global metropolis that still manages to be Midwestern friendly. The city has some 600 parks, and 18.5 miles of trail along the shore of the lake and another lining the rivers of downtown. The food is among the best and most varied in the world. Museums and performance venues abound, and public art fills green space and public squares. Public transportation is easy, as is reaching either U.S. coast in half a day. Even in the midst of its notoriously frigid winters, you won’t find a warmer city to call home.
