Neighborhood Description
The Chicago neighborhood of Rogers Park is the northern doorway to Chicago. Housing is affordable (but on the rise) and beaches abundant due to its border on Lake Michigan. Much apartment rehabbing is going on and these renovations are raising interest in real estate and in commerce. The community has responded to this interest with approximately 100 new units of affordable housing being developed each year, on average, for the last 15 years, plus a variety of new business and shopping districts. It is bounded by the city of Evanston along Juneway Terrace and Howard Street to the north, Ridge Boulevard to the west, Devon Avenue and the Edgewater neighborhood to the south, and Lake Michigan to the east. The neighborhood just to the west, West Ridge, was part of Rogers Park until the 1990's. Some Chicagoans use the phrase "East Rogers Park" to refer to any area east of Ridge, but usually East Rogers Park refers only to the portion of Rogers Park east of Clark Street. Rogers Park has four elevated ("L") Red Line stations: Howard, Jarvis, Morse, and Loyola.[7] The Howard Street "L" station, the northernmost Chicago Transit Authority rail stop in the city proper, has experienced major renovation during 2008 and is a major transportation hub for the northern Chicago region. Both the Skokie Swift and the Purple Line (formerly known as the Evanston Express) begin in Rogers Park. In addition to the above, there are also several bus routes traveling to the Loop and the suburbs. They consist of the #22 (Clark to Polk), #97 (Old Orchard Shopping Mall/Cook County Courthouse), #147 (Outer Drive/Congress/Michigan Avenue), #151 (Sheridan Road) and #N201 (Central/Sherman in Evanston). The Metra commuter railroad Rogers Park station, at the intersection of Lunt and Ravenswood avenues, is centrally located in the Rogers Park neighborhood.
