ROSCOE VILLAGE

Roscoe Village lies on Chicago’s North Side between North Center and Lakeview.
Today, the Roscoe Village neighbors (RVN) work to ensure the village is well
kept and maintained. Known for the annual ‘Retro on Roscoe’ event, as well as
smaller neighborhood events, Roscoe Village housing options range from vintage
greystones to new construction and everything in between. Its boundaries are
roughly Ravenswood Avenue on the east, Belmont Avenue on the south, the
north branch of the Chicago River on the west and Addison Street on the north.
Commuters into the city can either drive on I-94, the Kennedy Expressway, or
take the CTA Brown Line from the Addison or Paulina stops. There are also
many buses that travel to the city center. Roscoe Village has a variety of shopping
boutiques, antique shops and restaurants from which to choose and is about 7
miles away from downtown Chicago and Michigan Avenue.
