History

Like much of Chicagos North Side, Roscoe Village was settled by Swedish and German immigrants in the late 19th century. The neighborhood was situated between two industrial areas, and the Great Depression stalled development in the area, keeping its skyline relatively low. Many two-story houses were built in Roscoe Village after World War II, and by the 1980s, the lofts at its industrial edges began attracting the notice of enterprising Chicagoans in search of space and natural light. The former Eversharp Pencil Factory is one of the neighborhoods condo conversions.

Demographic

Roscoe Villages housing stock is composed primarily of two- and three-story houses. While some of these structures have been divided into apartments, many have been renovated to create ideal homes for city dwellers seeking the charm and character of a smaller town.

Landmarks and Institutions

Roscoe Villages schools, including Audubon Elementary, are among the best in Chicago, making this neighborhood a top choice for young families. Its vibrant food scene is diverse, featuring everything from vegetarian and vegan dishes at Victorys Banner to leisurely brunch options at Kitschn on Roscoe and Turkish cuisine at Turquoise Cafe. The popular and annual Retro on Roscoe music festival features the music of decades past as well as food from local restaurants.
