Gentrification may be old news in Logan Square, but high home prices have taken root in the heavily residential western end of the neighborhood, where gang crime was once deeply entrenched.
An"apartment for rent" sign on a building along the 2600 block of North Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square on Sept. 27, 2022. As development in Logan Square continues westward, affordable housing options are shrinking.
A modest five-bedroom frame house on North Sawyer Avenue in the middle of the beat is now selling for $875,000. Less than a mile west, a fully rehabbed two-story single-family home on Belden Avenue, with a coach house and glass exterior designed by architect Carlos Concepcion, is on the market for $1.85 million.
“The culture feels different now,” said Dave Soto, a 22-year-old who has lived his entire life in and around Logan Square. “It’s like the Latinx identity is being erased pretty aggressively.” “In my experience, it is still possible for people to find naturally affordable housing in Logan Square, it’s just a lot more difficult and you have to have relationships with these mom and pop landlords to find these units,” he said.
“We literally had like two months to think of where we had to live,” said Aponte, 20. He said he feels lucky that his stepfather was able to find a landlord willing to rent to them at an affordable rate when so many neighbors and friends have been pushed outside the neighborhood. The 1960s saw a massive influx of Latino residents into Logan Square, as well an uptick of Black residents, just as the white population began to plummet.
The Lucy Gonzalez Parsons Apartments is an all-affordable apartment building, built on a city-owned lot on Emmett Street behind the CTA Logan Square station.
