 Ravenswood visit chamber website  |
Ethnic diversity, architectural variety and convenience are just a few of the reasons many people choose to live in Ravenswood. Ravenswood is bound by Foster, Montrose, Clark, and Kedzie.
Ravenswood is known for its 'courtyard' style residential buildings. Ravenswood, once considered an "up and coming" neighborhood in the past decade has recently seen its real estate values sky-rocket, making it one of the highest valued markets in the city.
Lincoln Square: European delicatessens, shops, restaurants, and the annual Oktoberfest make it easy to see why the two-block long, tree-lined mall on Lincoln avenue lives up to its theme "A Touch of Europe" in Lincoln Square. Residents and visitors, many of whom speak in their native German tongue, enjoy specialty shops and boutiques as well as a host of ethnic restaurants. Just south of Lincoln Square is the Sulzer Regional Library, one of the jewels of the Chicago Public Library system.
The East Ravenswood Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As one of Chicago's first planned neighborhoods, the area is known for its Victorian homes, brick and graystone two and three-flats and convenient shopping.
Events planned by the Chamber of Commerce, such as the annual Car Show, Applefest, German-American Fest, and the Farmer's Market draw visitors from far and wide.
Housing: In 2009, the average single-family home sold for $667,009 in the Ravenswood Area. Townhouses and condominiums sold for an average price of $279,638.
There are a variety of pricing options for apartments in the Ravenswood Area ranging from $875 to $3,300 per month.
Transportation: Metra's Union Pacific trains stop at Lawrence and Ravenswood Avenues. The CTA's "el" stops at Lawrence and Western, Lawrence and Damen, and on Montrose and Irving Park Road. Numerous CTA bus lines serve the area, and the Howard-Dan Ryan "redline" "el" stations are a short bus ride from most areas. Lake Shore Drive and the Kennedy Expressway (I-90/94) are a few miles away. |
