Roscoe Village

What has always struck me about Roscoe Village is that it feels like a SMALL TOWN in the big city. Part of the reason is the great residential sector surrounding the main retail district, which lies on Roscoe St. between Damen and Western Avenues. Outside of the strip there is some retail on Damen, but most of the area is purely residential property from Ashland Ave. west to Western (1 mile) and Belmont Ave. north to Addison St. (1/2 mile). The Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce has done an outstanding job helping to grow the community and offers some more insight below.

Please call or email me anytime for more information about Roscoe Village or to find out more about homes in the area.

From Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce,

"With a walk down Roscoe Street one can quickly get a feel for this special neighborhood. Roscoe Village has more than 20 eating and drinking establishments. Villagers can walk to charming boutiques and bookstores, enjoy delicious American and International cooking, and complement it all with a stop for gourmet ice cream or coffee.

Every bit as unique as our local establishments are the people who live and work in Roscoe Village. Our residents and business owners care about their community, their neighbors and the future of the children in the Village. They are committed to building a strong community through a strong community organization, Roscoe Village Neighbors (RVN).

RVN publishes the community newsletter, What’s News in Roscoe Village. It also hosts special “Welcome to Roscoe Village” receptions for new residents; semi-annual Come Meet Your Neighbors! parties for all our members; a Spring Brunch; a Halloween Parade & Pizza Party; charity pub crawls; an annual Winter Celebration; and our famous Retro on Roscoe neighborhood festival which draws more than 35,000 guests to the Village each August.

In addition, our residents and business owners work together to improve the environment through an annual neighborhood clean-up, local park improvements, and our annual Roscoe Village Neighbors Garden Walk. Villagers actively support our two local public elementary schools through RVN’s Education Coalition by providing volunteers, hosting fundraisers, conducting an annual book drive that, to date, has donated over $75,000 and collected more than 5,000 books for the schools.

All the exciting happenings in the Village are the result of the enormous energy of our neighbors. To learn ways in which you can become involved or how to better explore all that this unique and vibrant Village has to offer, simply request one of our Roscoe Village Welcome Kits below.
