Hip, trendy, and yet somehow still sensible, Logan Square has long been one of Chicago's favorite neighborhoods. The area developed in the early 1800s, when a public green space was designed by landscape architect Jens Jensen. Today, Logan Square Park is located in the heart of the neighborhood, wrapped by Logan Boulevard and divided by Milwaukee Avenue.
Bicycle-friendly Logan Square is all about living local, from its craft breweries to local artists and restaurants. With its wide sidewalks and compact design, Logan Square is very walkable. If you choose a Logan Square apartment, you'll be about five miles from Downtown Chicago, with easy access to mass transit -- just hop on the L's Blue Line from the Logan Square Blue Line Station and you'll be downtown in minutes.
As of June 2025, the average apartment rent in Logan Square is $1,272 for a studio, $1,480 for one bedroom, $1,744 for two bedrooms, and $2,087 for three bedrooms. Apartment rent in Logan Square has increased by 2.3% in the past year.

It is a great place to be if you don't have a car as there are bus stops as well as train stations in the area. People are generally friendly and there's always something to do.

Logan Square attracts many people due to it's history and all it's attractions. It has changed so much throughout the years. I'm thankful that I grew up there. It's fun and always full of great activities to do with family and friends. Visit! You will fall in love.

Logan Square is an exciting neighborhood with restaurants and bars as well as art and live music. There is plenty of green space so you get the best of being in the city but not really feeling like it!

I have lived here for 23 years, all in the same apartment building. While was are moving to the suburbs, I'm really really sad about it. I could live here for the rest of my life, but I don't think we could afford a home here, although We didn't even look. The time to buy was when we moved in, but we didn't have real jobs so that wasn't going to happen. We are going miss the public transportation, the people, the food, the shopping, the food again, the square itself, the dogs, the farmers market and the little kids walking in groups from the local day care. Covid has changed the mood considerably. City Lit book store was forced to close. The movie theater is closed, the restaurants are closed or suffering. And because no one goes out, parking as gotten much worse. We are moving because our landlord no longer allows dogs, and because our daughter is going into high school and we don't want to put her through the competitive application process.
