You will not run out of things to do in Logan Square.

* Public Transport

The bus to Lincoln park which connects to downtown (73) is on our doorstep (2 min walk on Armitage St) and we are a ten minute walk from the California stop on the Blue line (The 'L) if you have plans to sightsee downtown! It is easy and safe to travel this way.

If you're driving by car here, there is free parking out front on Whipple Street.

Some info about the neighborhood:

Welcome to Logan Square, one of Chicago’s most vibrant and historic neighborhoods. Known for its tree-lined boulevards, classic greystone architecture, and lively arts scene, Logan Square beautifully blends history with modern culture.

*A Bit of History

Named after General John A. Logan, a Civil War hero, the neighborhood is part of Chicago’s historic Boulevard System, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The iconic Illinois Centennial Monument, designed by renowned architect Henry Bacon (who also designed the Lincoln Memorial), stands proudly at the heart of Logan Square.

What to See & Do:

Stroll the Logan Boulevard Historic District with its stately homes and green medians.

Browse local shops, vintage stores, and art galleries sprinkled throughout the neighborhood.

Catch live music at The Logan Theatre, a beautifully restored 100-year-old movie house that now features indie films, craft beer, and events. Another amazing spot walking distance for live music is Rosa's Lounge on Armitage St with live jazz and blues music! Perfect spot for a date night!

Spend a Sunday morning at the Logan Square Farmers Market, one of the city’s best, packed with local produce, baked goods, and artisanal finds.

A favourite date-night venue of my husband and I is to grab a glass of wine and charcuterie at Lardon and head to the speakeasy next door called Blue Bird. This is about a 8-10 minute walk from our home.

A bit of Trivia for you!

**Just steps from Logan Square, Chicago has deep ties to two icons of imagination. Walt Disney was born in 1901 at a modest home on Tripp Avenue in nearby Hermosa—only a couple miles from here. And in 1899, L. Frank Baum penned The Wonderful Wizard of Oz while living on Humboldt Boulevard, right next door to Logan Square. Together, these neighborhood connections remind us that Chicago is not just a city of architecture and food—it’s also a birthplace of timeless stories that shaped childhoods around the world.

Happy exploring Logan Square, Chicago and its surrounding neighborhoods!

House was immaculate. The location was PERFECT. We moved from Jeff Park to Nashville 4 years ago and staying at this home made me want to move back soooo desperately. It was nice to be able to walk to restaurants, shops, pharmacies, etc. Would 100% stay here again.

Beautiful home and great location for an event at Stan Mansion. The home was very spacious, several large bathrooms, amazing master bedroom/bathroom, and perfect for hosting a family stay for a nearby wedding. The host was very responsive and accommodated our early arrival.

Beautiful house

It was a pleasure to stay in this beautifully appointed, spacious house. On-street parking was easy, which is unusual for the area. The Palmer Square park was just a couple of blocks away, which my family very much enjoyed.

Father’s Day Weekend

Property was nice and in a good location; but the AC on the lower level wasn’t working and they didn’t make a huge effort to come fix it during our stay. It would’ve been nice to have the WiFi information at check in along with instructions on how to work the tv so we didn’t have to keep messaging back and forth. Also, there were no back up supplies such as trash bags, paper towels, or extra bath towels that we could find.

First Time in Chicago

This home was absolutely perfect for our first time in a new city. It was perfectly located near restaurants and bars we could walk to and explore as well as the blue line that took us downtown. Owner and property manager were so communicative and provided assistance when needed. House amenities were too notch and it’s clear the home is cared for. Already planning a future stay and hoping to land the same home next year!
