Ravenswood Apartments For Rent - Chicago

Ravenswood Apartment Living

Neighborhood Vibe

Loft offices, art, breweries, railroad tracks and even a few old-fashioned cobblestone streets.

Heart of the Neighborhood

LILLSTREET Art Center is a recognizable beacon in Ravenswood. The large brick building at the corner of Ravenswood and Montrose is a sprawling marketplace for handmade crafts, exhibits by visiting artists and they offer art classes for the masses. Various other antique stores, reclaimed furniture shops and art galleries populate the brick storefronts along Ravenswood Avenue. Chicagoans should make a stop at Architectural Artifacts, a veritable labyrinth of reclaimed building materials and salvaged goods that is as close to a time machine as you’ll find in Chicago.

What We Love Most

Ravenswood was originally planned as a suburb of Chicago. Electric streetcar routes and the completion of the Ravenswood elevated train line (the CTA Brown line today) connected the community to the city and it was eventually annexed by Chicago. The parallel train tracks of the elevated Brown line and the UP-N Metra create the Ravenswood corridor. Every autumn, Chicagoans can tour the eclectic offerings of the corridor’s art galleries on the Ravenswood Art Walk.

Best Way to Get Around

Divvy bike station at Berteau and Ravenswood, no. 50 Damen bus, ‘L’ Brown line and UP-N Metra are all solid transportation choices for Ravenswood renters.
