The Chicago neighborhood of Lincoln
Square is in no danger over-population
or rampant gentrification anytime in the near future, and this is exactly
how its residents want it. In fact, city planning authorities and local
activists have been working for decades to make sure that this gorgeous
residential part of Chicago remain family-friendly and suburban-paced.
20% of Lincoln Square has been designated as a historic preservation
district, which is arguably Chicago's largest.

Over a century old, Lincoln Square is often described as "European" or having
an "Old World feel" due to the zoning, size of the streets and architecture.
There are plenty of family-sized houses on these beautiful, tree-lined
streets, many still at very reasonable prices.
Ravenswood residents are known for their rehabbing savvy.
Some gentrification has occured and many vintage homes are available at reasonable
rates. There are small shops and outdoor cafés to appeal to a family-oriented
crowd and some young professionals. The annual Apple Fest and Farmer's
Market draw visitors every
summer. The East Ravenswood Historic District is known
for its lovely architectural homes and ever-growing popularity.
The El Brown Line runs through the southern section of the neighborhood. Ravenswood / Lincoln
Square are
bounded by Montrose, Peterson, the Ravenswood Metra tracks and the Chicago
River. Please see our North Ravenswood page
regarding the area north of Foster.
