Logan Square

Logan Square, annexed to Chicago in 1889, is a key link in the city’s ribbon of green parks and boulevards. Handsome brick and limestone houses and apartment buildings line the leafy boulevards while greater density is found along the avenues and around the square itself—a popular hangout punctuated by the Illinois Centennial Monument. In the last decade or so, Logan Square has seen an explosion in new dining and drinking establishments, entertainment venues, and residential infill and mid-rise construction. The 2.7-mile elevated Bloomingdale Trail, or "606," which opened in 2015, is a triumph of recreational design, improving both access to green space and the area's active transportation network.
