Having a quaint village atmosphere in the heart of the city is not an easy task, but Roscoe Village pulls it off.
Dubbed a “Village Within the City,” Roscoe Village offers residents a mix of businesses, residences and parks just six miles from downtown Chicago.
The charming neighborhood is dominated by single-family homes with beautiful gardens. There are also classic three-story walkups and duplexes as well as luxury new construction, which gives Roscoe Village a bit of a metropolitan feel. The neighborhood also offers a variety of eateries, cafes, taverns, boutiques and independent shops.
Roscoe Village is especially lively in the summer when the community hosts Retro on Roscoe and the Roscoe Village Burger Fest. Fellger Park is the perfect place to picnic with grassy spots and a playground. Nearby Hamlin Park has an outdoor swimming pool, several sports fields and courts, a playground and fieldhouse.
Residents are served by CTA’s Brown Line, which has two stops in the neighborhood.
