Neighborhood Vibe

Heart of the Neighborhood

Rogers Park is also one of the most diverse neighborhoods in Chicago, both in terms of ethnicity and age.

The lake is easily accessible from pretty much anywhere in this neighborhood, and residents take full advantage of the public parks, green spaces and beach along Lake Michigan.

What We Love Most

Heartland Cafe is a Rogers Park landmark for poets, artists and political activists. It was the meeting place and welcoming space for many radical artists over the years. Sadly, Heartland closed its doors on Jan 1, 2019 but the owners pledge to re-open the neighborhood icon at some point down the road.

Best Way to Get Around

The Red Line is the most direct way into downtown, there’s the no. 36 Broadway Avenue bus for local commuting, and Lake Shore Drive is the scenic route to Grant Park, Soldier Field and beyond.
