Rogers ParkEast - Real Estate

Rogers Park is the northernmost of Chicago community areas in the far North Side of Chicago, Illinois, and is also the name of the Chicago neighborhood that constitutes most of the community area. 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. 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.

Other neighborhood information,

Rogers Park continued to see demographic changes into the 21st century. The 2000 census data, like those of 1980 and 1990, showed it to be one of the most diverse communities, if not the most diverse, in the entire country. A robust mix of ethnic backgrounds with over 80 assorted languages flavor the neighborhood. However, this diversity has been affected by gentrification of the community. Much of the rental housing that has been converted to condominiums since 2000 formerly housed racial- and ethnic-minority households. More than 90% of the new homeowners are white households, according to the Woodstock Institute, a nonprofit advocacy and research organization.
