Rogers Park Apartments

And since the lakefront community banned high rise apartment buildings to preserve views of the water, many of the vintage apartment buildings have been, and continue to be, rehabbed. Some Rogers Park apartments along the lake offer renters their own private beach. How's that for an amenity? A large student population comes via Loyola University, around which restaurants, studio apartments for rent and watering holes bloom.

Rogers Park is located at the northeastern edge of Chicago with an abundance of beautiful rental apartments just blocks from the shores of Lake Michigan. It is one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in the country, and it is said that you can hear 80 different languages spoken here.  

The Rogers Park Chicago community theater scene is strong, with a number of different theatre companies thriving here. Evanston, a suburb that doesn't quite feel like one, is just a few miles north, which expands the options for dining, entertainment and nightlife.

Rogers Park apartments tend to be in classic courtyard buildings, with the occasional mid-rise or two-flat apartment building thrown in for good measure. Rogers Park is the northernmost neighborhood within Chicago’s city limits. Rogers Park borders suburban Evanston to the north and Lake Michigan forms the eastern edge of the neighborhood. Apartments with stunning lake views are available at relatively affordable rents in Rogers Park. 

One familiar landmark on the campus is the Madonna Della Strada chapel, which has large stained glass windows that face out onto Lake Michigan. The Loyola University men's basketball team shocked the nation, but surely not their die-hard fans from the Rogers Park neighborhood, when the Ramblers advanced to the Final Four of the NCAA tournament in the spring of 2018.
