The Logan Square Read

Logan Square is the fastest-appreciating mixed-use neighborhood on the Northwest Side — anchored by the historic Logan Square (the actual traffic square with the Illinois Centennial Monument) at Milwaukee / Kedzie / Logan. Milwaukee Avenue extends northwest through the neighborhood from Wicker Park / Bucktown.

Coffee, restaurant, and boutique retail density have grown steadily. Adaptive-reuse of historic industrial and mid-rise multifamily infill have been the defining CRE stories of the last decade. Substantial two-flat and three-flat vintage residential inventory across the interior blocks.

Frequently Asked Questions — Logan Square

Is Logan Square still an appreciating market?

Rate of appreciation has moderated from the peak of the 2010s but Logan Square remains one of the more active investor markets on the Northwest Side — driven by continued retail/restaurant infill, adaptive-reuse of the remaining historic warehouse stock, and multifamily rent growth outpacing city averages.

How does Logan Square retail compare to Wicker Park / Bucktown?

Similar creative-class tenant mix but at a slightly lower rent basis per square foot. Milwaukee Avenue's northwest extension is essentially a continuation of the Wicker Park / Bucktown corridor. Coffee and independent restaurant density is a defining feature — some of the highest cafe-per-block counts in the city.
