Our Take
Logan Square is a lively, walkable area with a strong food scene and short commute to downtown Chicago, making it appealing for young professionals and foodies. However, the cost of living outpaces the median income, crime is moderate, and noise and parking can be problematic for families or those seeking quietness.
