Having owned in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood for five years, I have patiently waited for the tide that makes the boats rise.  The good news is that the tide is just beginning to arrive.  We now have many restaurants entering the neighborhood not to mention a change in image from murderous to trendy and hip.

My prediction (and many others) is that you will see more bars and restaurants enter the neighborhood around and between the California and Logan Blue Lines stops.  In fact The Logan Bar (2350 N. California) just recently opened while the Sultan’s Market (2202 N. California), Revolution Brewery (2323 N. Milwaukee) and Real Tenochtitilan (2451 N. Milwaukee) are at various stages of becoming new places. 

Logan Square is one of the last great Chicago neighborhoods to still be affordable.  The incoming tide suggests this will soon change.
