Welcome To Roscoe Village

Quiet and friendly, this north side Chicago neighborhood feels like one of the city's last true villages. However, its location offers sophisticated options to singles, couples and families who prefer a touch of big city living as opposed to a totally suburban lifestyle. Roscoe Village certainly does draw a family crowd& baby-strollers, toddlers and beaming parents are spotted on almost every street corner. The conventional flats and vintage walkups in Roscoe Village are an ideal home for young families who don't need too much space and appreciate the minimal yard work and grounds upkeep. For those who like to garden and stretch the legs a bit more, Roscoe Village has a large pool of private properties with plant-rich lots and traditional houses. A rise in luxury new construction real estate is also hitting the scene, and the dining and nightlife is long established, giving this quaint Chicago village a highly metropolitan edge.

Then and Now

In the latter part of the 19th century, immigrant German and Swedish workers settled in Roscoe Village, split between the industrial depots along the Chicago River at the western most point of the village, and the plants and factories on the eastern border. The post-war economic boom of the 1920s brought more development to the area with brick buildings springing up, often creating entire blocks of identical two-story brownstones lining the streets. Practically impossible to distinguish one building from another, some of Roscoe Village's residential blocks still maintain this Old World architectural charm.

Because much of the economy collapsed during the Great Depression, many of the warehouses and factories ceased operation, and their spaces went unoccupied. Still, the character of the Village remained, as colorful politicians such as "Burgermeister" Charlie Weber wore lederhosen during parades as a way to keep residents upbeat and optimistic.

After the federal interstate highway initiative in the 1950s made travel between the suburbs and city that much easier, many villagers left the struggling community for the inexpensive homes and good schools of the suburban "collar counties." By the late 1970s, residential developers started to take notice of the locational advantages of Roscoe Village with its proximity to many other up-and-coming neighborhoods, and looked to the old industrial corridors for urban pioneering.

With the housing explosion of the 1980s, much of the industrial space had been converted into loft condominiums, including the conversion of the Eversharp Pencil Factory at Roscoe and Ravenswood, which because of its size (nearly a full city block) and history, caught the attention of the entire city. All the new rehabs and additional restoration of walk-ups caused real estate values to shoot up as did property taxes, forcing much of the working class out and bringing a more affluent class in.

Real Estate

Roscoe Village is a family-oriented Chicago neighborhood. We need only to walk down the leafy canopy of Roscoe Street on any given afternoon to see several babies and four-legged friends going out for a stroll with moms and dads. Single-family homes dominate many of the garden-rich lots, but several three-story conventional walkups and duplexes are mixed in, accommodating younger working singles who enjoy a tranquil reprieve from the loud nightlife a few neighborhoods away.

Just the last half-decade or so has seen the new development of a large number of the brick walkups in Roscoe Village. The average sales price for a one- or two-bedroom unit is around $336,000. Many of the neighborhood's loft-style condos (in and about Ravenswood Avenue) have unique layouts -- buyers can expect sale prices to range between $265,000 and the mid $300,000s for one-bedrooms, and up to the mid $500,000s for a two-bedroom place. With its near zero crime rate and good schools, Roscoe Village is seeing new lavish single-family homes going up in its residential areas. Many of these newer construction houses run into the two or three million dollar range, whereas the older homes, built in the 1920s on through the 70s, run half a mil and up.

Park is the Place

Roscoe Village's Fellger Park and Playlot was recently redone by the Chicago Park District, making it more safe and friendly for kids (but sadly, not for dogs, they aren't allowed here). Nearly an acre of playground equipment and benches, it's the perfect spot for parents to sit and chat, while the kids work off some energy. During the summer, tall plastic sculptures become fountains of water for the little ones to splash around and catch glimpses of the rainbows materializing out of the mist. Fostering community spirit between neighbors and families, Fellger Park is a part of Roscoe Village's charming appeal.

What's on the Menu?

If there's one particular cuisine at which Roscoe Village restaurants excel -- it's morning food. Brunchers can choose from three of the best breakfast joints in town to meet your get-together needs, or to beat those post-weekend partying blues. Brunch is fast becoming a true tradition in Roscoe Village, as all three popular a.m. spots command at least a 30-minute wait to be seated on the weekends.

For those in the group not interested in sausage links, the vegetarian Victory's Banner (2100 W. Roscoe St., 773-665-0227) marks the best choice. Some of the menu options are vegan as well, but most involve breakfast's necessity: fluffy eggs. We love the soothing ambience, from the calming New Age music to the wait staff in white robes. As a great alternative to coffee, the green tea cooler (iced green tea blended with grapefruit juice) is an excellent non-jittery option. And don't even think about leaving until you've had some of their peach butter French Toast -- delicious! Just up the road is the funky Kitsch'n on Roscoe (2005 W. Roscoe St., 773-248-7372), which is open for lunch and dinner, but brunch is what really lines them up. A retro pop-culture theme pervades the orange-walled decor; we noticed "Knight Rider" lunchboxes and small knob televisions showing episodes of "Hawaii 5-0." Menu options range from spicy Mexican fare to green eggs and ham (it's basil, folks), and the alfresco dining during the summer makes for fabulous people-watching on busy Roscoe Street. Wishbone (3300 N. Lincoln Ave., 773-549-4105) offers a large dining space with big tables and booths (plus plenty of high-chairs) to accommodate the family affair. The hospitality and the southern-fried dishes -- we like the Yankee Scrambled Eggs, eggs scrambled with cream cheese and scallions, complete with a corn muffin -- plus an amazing bloody Mary, all at reasonable prices, make Wishbone a good spot for patrons of all ages and tastes.

While El Tinajon (2054 W. Roscoe, 773-525-8455) also has a brunch menu, it's more visited for its dinner fare, a tantalizing mix of Guatemalan specialties. Guatemalan cuisine has familiar Latin samplings of burritos and chile rellenos, but we recommend getting something regionally specific, such as the pepian antigueno (Mayan chicken stew with potatoes and green beans). Please note that the pre-meal salsa and chips are extremely addictive, be careful not to fill up before the main course arrives! Another ethnic option (also with a brunch menu) is the Turquoise Cafe (2147 W. Roscoe St., 773-549-3523), with authentic Turkish dining options. Tasty lamb dishes are complemented afterward by wonderful Turkish coffee. There's a much-appreciated Old World mentality here, so your server won't try to turn your table over by dropping the check off as you're enjoying the last few sips of coffee.

While on the subject of coffee ... we have no trouble getting our caffeine fix in Roscoe Village. This Chicago neighborhood has coffee shops in abundance, with the ubiquitous Starbucks (there's three locations here), and independent mom-and-pops to boot. One such place, and a quaint spot to play a game of Scrabble while having a cup of joe, is MoJoe's Cafe Lounge (2256 W. Roscoe St., 773-388-1236). And if coffee's not your cup of tea, maybe bubble tea is. There was a time when we had to go all the way to Chinatown, south of the Loop, in order to get a good bubble tea (fruity flavored tea concoctions jammed with chewy tapioca balls, served with an extra-wide straw). But now there's BeBoBa Bubble Tea House (3533 N. Western Ave., 773-883-2622) in Roscoe Village, featuring over 50 varieties of the stuff, including mixes and combinations. We lean toward the exotic with our bubble tea, and can recommend the Jack Fruit Bubble Tea for those who look for adventure with their tapioca treat. There's also the standard (strawberry, chocolate, mango) fares, and American and Japanese candy you can add as a bonus for your sweet tooth.

Speaking of sweet tooth, one of the best ice cream parlors around is Roscoe Village's Scooter's (1658 W. Belmont Ave., 773-244-6415). It's really frozen custard, not ice cream, but our palates are pleased, whatever the recipe difference. Special weekly flavors and an array of cones and creations add to the decadent experience. Inside the sundae shop is airy and cool, perfect for getting in from the hot sun, and just in case we get a craving in the middle of the night, we always take a pint of Scooter's homemade frozen custard to go.

No Chicago neighborhood would be complete without a sandwich shop or two. Costello's (2015 W. Roscoe, 773-929-2323), now a Chicago tradition, serves hungry lunchers from its signature store on Roscoe Street. It's a tough call which sandwich is really the best, but the filling horseradish roast beef really hits the spot. There are also fantastic sides, including redskin mashed potatoes and pineapple tuna salad. Just down the street there's also a new outlet of the Jimmy John's chain (2115 W. Roscoe St., 773-528-5646) , and both have excellent delivery service.

For a bit more upscale dining, perhaps for a hot date, try La Mora (2132 W. Roscoe, 773-404-4555), a nice romantic Italian haunt that's been in the neighborhood for years. The stained glass-topped bar makes a fabulous first impression, and gives the place a classy vibe. Its dinner selection features one of the best linguine with clams in the city, but make sure to save some room for the delectable dessert menu. There's also the new Frasca Pizzeria and Wine Bar (3358 N. Paulina Ave., 773-248-5222). You read that right, pizza and wine. But it works. Sophisticated Roman arches give a classic touch to the modern dining room, and the trendy flatbread-style pizza (fired in a large wood-burning oven visible from most tables) is superb and light. Frasca has eight signature pizzas -- we're fans of the traditional margharita style, with goat cheese, basil, and oil. There's also an excellent sampling on the "Farmer's Table" menu, which features an assortment of Italian cheeses, meats and bruschettas.

Best Shopping Stops

With Roscoe Village's strong family-orientation, many niche-market boutiques and neighborhood shops have been popping up, appealing to the residents' consumer tastes. So there are several options for moms, dads, kids and toddlers, plus stores catering to the four-legged member of the family -- the dog.

Of Mutts and Men (2149 W. Belmont Ave., 773-477-0757) offers general supplies for our pampered pooches and boarding facilities for when Roscoe Villagers want to skip town for a few days. Sam and Willy's (3405 N. Paulina, 773-404-0400) "bow and meow boutique," has a variety of healthy treats for both dogs and cats, with all-natural and organic food and an assortment of accessories for the modern urban pet. Now that Fido's taken care of, time to focus on the kids' needs ...

To keep our little fashionistas looking their best, there's Little Threads (2033 W. Roscoe St., 773-327-9310), a designer kids store, featuring fashions by Baby LuLu and Charlie Rocket. Mom can also pick up some supplies for her newborn or toddler, or find the perfect gift for a baby shower.

The southern most border of Roscoe Village, boasts a few surviving shops from Antiques Row's heyday -- when a group of antiques dealers dominated the storefronts of Belmont Avenue two decades earlier. Our favorite today is Lazy Dog Antiques (1903 W. Belmont Ave., 773-281-3644), a more recent addition to the members of Antiques Row. Among other ancient oddities, we discovered an old manual camera that works like new, and the lazy floppy-eared dog that greets us upon entrance explains the shop's curious name. Continue the remembrance of things past further down the street at Night and Day Vintage (2228 W. Belmont Ave., 773-327-4045), Good Old Days Antiques (2138 W. Belmont Ave., 773-472-8837), and Father Time Antiques (2108 W. Belmont Ave., 773-880-5599) that specializes in old timepieces and restoration. Andy's Music (2300 W. Belmont Ave., 773-868-1235) offers antique instruments from international origins, boasting the largest retail display of harpsichords in the U.S., along with a large eclectic collection of percussion and guitars. Andy's even has that weird-sounding resonant woodwind from Australia called a didgeridoo. For those dedicated bargain-hunters, The Ark Thrift Stop (3345 N. Lincoln Ave., 773-248-1117) gives big discounts on donated goods that include clothing, books, electronics, furniture, and the occasional typewriter.

But this Chicago neighborhood isn't all about old wares and antiques -- Roscoe Village has trends, too. Collection Privee (3201 N. Wolcott Ave., 773-244-5130) features designer Thierry Roger's blouses and outfits, which happen to be both beautiful and affordable. For the stylish Chicago woman who wants hip shoes to traipse about the city, Skyscraper Heels (2202 W. Belmont Ave., 773-477-8495) is an independent boutique that's all about wild, sexy high-heels that is sure to satisfy. Cinnamon (2104 W. Roscoe St., 773-281-2466) is another boutique catering to the urban, budget-conscious woman looking to add some personal flair to her wardrobe and accessories. Roscoe Village also has an outlet of the unisex Denim Lounge (2004 W. Roscoe St., 312-642-6403), carrying high-end jean labels like True Religion and Rock and Republic. The vibe here is fun and fresh with swanky interior decor and a large aquarium of chic fish folk.

Hard Boiled Records and Video (2010 W. Roscoe St., 773-755-2619) is one of Chicago's best independent record stores. Meticulous taste goes into the stock of CDs, LPs, DVDs and comics here as many of the titles are obscure and worth giving a listen or view. Many local bands have dumped off their CDs into a specially marked section, so we have no trouble staying on top of the latest Chicago tune trends. And the friendly, unpretentious staff behind the counter is more than willing to hook up the musically un-savvy with expert recommendations.

Night on the Town

Roscoe Village keeps nights out a bit more down-tempo compared to the nightlife activity of surrounding Chicago neighborhoods. There's less people traffic so bars are full of places to sit. Music is generally played from a jukebox creating a laid-back scene geared toward an evening of conversation rather than clubbing or dancing.

One of our favorite nightspots is Four Moon Tavern (1847 W. Roscoe St., 773-929-6666), a neighborhood bar where the cheap beer specials and "beer of the month" choices seem the clientele's drink of choice. A popular after-show hangout for actors from Chicago's theater scene, playbills and notices for new city productions scatter the bathroom tackboards. Amber lighting against the wooded panels above the bar, gives the tavern a cozy, lodge-like feel, and the outdoor patio is draped with white party lights making a perfect place to sit and enjoy summer nights with friends.

Along that same kind of vibe is a fun neighborhood pub called the Hungry Brain (2319 W. Belmont Ave., 773-935-2118). On your way there, be on the lookout for its easy-to-miss entrance which is lacking clear identification. Hungry Brain has inexpensive specials on beer and cocktails, as well as plenty of tables for sitting with a group. There is a significant sense of strangeness here that adds to the clandestine nature of the place with pinball machines, ceramic brains on shelves, and oddball lamps that illuminate the crowd. One never knows if the stage riser in the front of the room could suddenly become host to an impromptu jazz concert (it happens from time to time). There's one more comfy dive on our Roscoe Village neighborhood pub crawl: The Village Tap (2055 W. Roscoe St., 773-883-0817). A popular spot for locals for many years, it has a Cheers-like feel where bartenders know all the regulars' names. Beer is again the libation of choice, with over 30 rotating draft beers, and great burgers and bar food with reasonable prices.

Going out to watch a game? Then know where your sports loyalties lie. That's because Waterhouse Tavern & Grill (3407 N. Paulina Ave., 773-871-1200) flies a red Wisconsin Badgers flag above its storefront, just below the "El" tracks. Upon stopping in to watch a Bears game, we're surprised to see fans rooting for the Packers around these parts. It's just one of the Big Ten traditions running in Chicago where a select few sports bars remain true to their alma maters. Several plasma screens and comfortable private booths make this an ideal spot for "Cheeseheads" to catch a game. The outdoor patio is another great option for lazy summer days and Waterhouse has daily food and drink specials, including two-dollar burgers on Mondays that are sure to please. Riverview Tavern (1958 W. Roscoe St., 773-248-9523) stays true to its Chicago sport allegiances, and is a popular pre- and post-Wrigley spot for fans. Others come to enjoy the spacious Old World pub feel, and the signature fish and chips, which tops the comfort food menu. Although the Riverview hung on to a name associated with the neighborhood before it was called Roscoe Village, this tavern fits right in to today's laid-back bar scene.

Night Cap

If we're feeling like a martini instead of a beer, Bungalow (1622 W. Belmont Ave., 773-244-0400) is the place. The red-tinged, dimly-lit lounge has a long bar and sleek interior to accommodate the late-night crowds, which pack in quickly on the weekends. We like to grab a seat near the fireplace and watch as the young, well-dressed crowd mingle and dance to sounds provided by the resident DJ. Steeply-priced house martinis balance gingerly in hands of clientele and on trays of the club's hard-working cocktail servers. We always order the "Bungalow Blonde," a fantastically sweet blend of Ketel One Citroen, Caravella Lemoncello and sweet and sour mix, rimmed with sugar. Bungalow is open until 3am on Saturdays, so fun-loving Roscoe Villagers and other Chicago locals can party after-hours.

Showtime!

Situated in a former warehouse and veiled by shadows from the Western Avenue overpass, the converted Viaduct Theater (3111 N. Western Ave., 773-296-6024) is a space for some of Chicago's best up-and-coming theater. These "off-Steppenwolf" shows are productions by the popular House Theater Company and other itinerant troupes that have included works by local playwrights and authors. The Viaduct has a full-service bar and also presents a variety of musical acts when the resident thespians are taking a break from the stage.

Live musical entertainment happens every night at the Beat Kitchen (2100 W. Belmont Ave., 773-281-4444). Now managed by the club owner of Wicker Park's popular rock spot Subterranean, Beat Kitchen offers music for all kinds of ears. With an updated sound and lighting system, bands from both the national and local scene make it a point to stop for a performance at Roscoe Village's Beat Kitchen. The music room holds a limited capacity -- shows typically draw anywhere from 20 to 150 people a night, with tunes ranging from indie rock to punk to heavy metal. A bonus at this venue is you can get a bite before the band begins -- and it's not the usual fried bar food -- Beat Kitchen serves up quality meals ... we recommend the tasty Cajun meatloaf sandwich.

Mark Your Calendar

Summertime means neighborhood street festivals -- all over Chicago. Two incredibly popular ones happen to be in Roscoe Village, and both center around Chicago residents' love of music.

During the first weekend in August, Retro On Roscoe sets up multiple stages for cover bands to play everyone's favorites from the'60s,'70s, and'80s. This retro rock fest goes on all day and into the night. It's free, but the Roscoe Village Neighbor's Association asks for a donation to support the festival's continuing success. Thousands wander shoulder-to-shoulder, through closed-off neighborhood streets checking out the featured booths from Roscoe Village stores and restaurants. Traveling independent vendors and other unique craftsmen make it out to sell their wares at the three-block-long party (on Roscoe between Damen and Oakley). As with most things in Roscoe Village, this summer fest is good for the whole family, and features a large children's play area to keep the kids occupied. The Belmont Arts and Music Festival features a more contemporary list of rock acts, and has two stages of live music, often drawing excellent performers that we would expect to see in an arena, not on Belmont Avenue. Held in late June, this two-day music and art event is not to be missed.

For those with a green thumb, we suggest heading out to the Roscoe Village Garden Walk. Over 50 urban gardens around the Roscoe Village neighborhood can be viewed on this self-guided walk. It's also a good time to meet neighbors and exchange gardening tips. Many people and families turn out for the relaxing mid-July outdoor tour. After picking up a map in front of the Victory's Banner restaurant, guests can take their time, following the guide with suggestions to the best personal gardens in the area. There are also several weekend sidewalk sales during the summer along Roscoe Street, and often the neighbors plan their garage sales on a concurrent weekend. Be sure to check out the several Parisian-style kiosks dotting the sidewalks along Roscoe Street, just west of Damen Avenue, where community members post notices for yard sales, show advertisements, and sadly -- lost pets.

Getting Around

The CTA Brown Line elevated train (known to Chicagoans simply as the "El") has two stops on the northeast side of Roscoe Village's neighborhood borders at Paulina and Addison. The Brown line provides Roscoe Villagers with direct service to the Loop and to convenient Red Line transfers at Belmont and Fullerton.

We never rule out travel on the CTA's other form of public transportation -- buses. There are a few routes servicing this Chicago neighborhood that make getting around easy and quick. Running up and down Roscoe Village's main traffic arteries, a ride on the bus is probably the best way to get from point A to point B within the neighborhood. And Bus #154 Wrigley Field Express provides rush service to Cubs games so you don't have to worry about missing the first pitch.

For anyone who owns a car, it's good to know Roscoe Village has mostly zone- and sticker-free parking. But save those quarters because there are meters on major thoroughfares like Lincoln, Belmont, and commerce-heavy parts of Roscoe and Addison. Lincoln Avenue also has a marked bicycle lane for those of you who travel via two-wheeler.
