Why people love it

Boulevards, greystones, and a Blue Line that reaches the Loop in twenty minutes and O'Hare without a transfer.

What's drawing people

A $27 million rebuilt traffic circle and a new public plaza that opened this summer at the neighborhood's front door.

The value

Not falling, not running away. The gap between a boulevard block and an industrial-edge block is wider than the gap between years.

What people say about Logan Square

Zillow's home value index put Logan Square at $495,536 in January 2026, up 5.5% over the year. — Zillow

Logan Square is where people land when they want the boulevards, the food, and the Blue Line, and they are willing to pay for all three. What most buyers miss is how much the price changes in six blocks.

The historic boulevard system runs straight through the middle of the neighborhood, wide and green and lined with greystones built for the money that came out of Chicago's first industrial boom. Those blocks look almost nothing like the blocks six streets over, and that gap is most of what makes Logan Square interesting to buy in.

The 606 trail runs along the southern edge. The Blue Line gets you downtown in about twenty minutes and to the airport without a transfer, which matters more to the buyers I work with than almost anything else I show them.

The big change on the ground right now is the traffic circle. The city spent roughly $27 million rebuilding the intersection at Milwaukee, Kedzie, and Logan Boulevard, turning Milwaukee into a one-way loop around the Illinois Centennial Monument and adding protected bike lanes, raised crosswalks, wider sidewalks, and a new public plaza called La Placita next to the Blue Line stop. It opened this summer.

I bring that up because street projects like this move retail rents, and retail rents move residential demand a year or two behind them. The blocks nearest that intersection are the ones I would be watching.

On price, I have to be straight with you: the public data for Logan Square is messy right now, and anyone quoting one confident number is picking their favorite. Zillow's index says $495,536 and up 5.5% as of January 2026. Redfin says a $632,500 median for November 2025, up 7.7%. Houzeo says $557,500 for February 2026, essentially flat. Those are three different metrics covering three different months. Averaging them would be worse than useless.

What I take from it is that Logan Square is not falling and is not running away either, and that which block you buy on matters more than which year you buy in. Days on market ran 49 in November and 68 in February, so this is not the bidding-war market it was in 2021. If you are looking for the 2014 price, it is gone. But a neighborhood does not appreciate once and then stop. The strong blocks pull the weak blocks up behind them, and Logan Square still has weak blocks.
