Spotlight on West Roscoe Village
Sunday’s Sun-Times Homelife section ran a spotlight on the West Roscoe Village neighborhood, a “vintage blue-collar industrial neighborhood.” The area is bounded by Western Avenue and the Kennedy Expressway and Diversey and Addison, bisected by the north branch of the Chicago River.
The neighborhood has drawn interest because of its affordability in comparison to those closer to downtown, as many other residential areas north and west of the city do. It offers an enticing mix of two- and three- flat apartments, single-family homes, and empty lots for development. The article details a number of development projects in the area.
