Looking to live in a Chicago neighborhood with great food? Explore some of the hotspots of Chicago’s food scene for the best deep-dish pizza, Italian beef, and Chicago-style hot dogs.
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 January 2026, the average apartment rent in Logan Square is $1,371 for a studio, $1,702 for one bedroom, $2,165 for two bedrooms, and $2,403 for three bedrooms. Apartment rent in Logan Square has increased by 0.9% in the past year.

Good up and coming area with new restaurants and young residents. Very close to some more crime ridden neighborhoods but safety is good within the area and very close to transport.

Logan square is a very diverse neighborhood. There are men there who have a cat calling problem, but other than that this neighborhood is wonderful. The garden outside the blue line Belmont station is well maintained and the local stores nearby are friendly. CTA makes it very easy to get around this large neighborhood as well. Having a family here is a wonderful idea. Growing up in logan square I appreciated the scenery and the character of the neighborhood.

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.

Wonderful place to live in the city. Incredible restaurants/bars, loads of things to do, a wonderful farmer's market, and it definitely is safer than other places I've lived in the city. The 606 is nearby and is easily one of Chicago's best highlights. It's also got a lot of transit -- the East-West busses can take you anywhere and the blue line can take you either right downtown or out to O'Hare quickly and easily.
