Village feel
A bridge over Roscoe Street near the intersection with Ravenswood Avenue traveling west gives a welcome to Roscoe Village. On the other side of the bridge are the words “The Village Within the City.” According to 22-year Roscoe Village resident Charese David, founder & principal broker of The Charese Team at Compass, the village vibe is an appropriate description. “It’s a quiet neighborhood that’s very desirable and walkable,” she says. “I can walk out my door and get a coffee or go to a nice restaurant in just a few minutes. It’s one of those places where you don’t need a car to get around. Everything is right there.”
Shops and homes line the streets of Roscoe Village as bikers whiz by.

Nonprofit neighborhood organization
Roscoe Village Neighbors is a nonprofit organization that focuses on keeping the neighborhood village-like and vibrant. Events are planned throughout the year, including the popular Retro on Roscoe, which takes place in early August. During that event, the streets are lined with antique vendors and artisans. Live music throughout the weekend provides entertainment. The organization plans a special welcome in a meet and greet event for new neighbors. There’s also a Clean and Green Day in late April, where volunteers help clean up the neighborhood.
Unique shops and restaurants
Roscoe Street is the main business thoroughfare through the neighborhood, providing endless opportunities for food and retail. Le Sud means ‘the south,’ so the Mediterranean restaurant that bears that name in Roscoe Village concentrates on cuisine popular in southern France. If the weather is nice, folks will be dining outdoors on the patio on the Oakley Avenue side of the building. American comfort food in a casual setting is what the experience is at John’s Place. They serve weekend brunch on weekends starting at 10 a.m. Roscoe Books is an independent bookstore that focuses on providing a wide variety of books and hosting book club discussions. “I worked with the store owner to secure the space,” David says. “She opened the business when bookstores were falling out of favor. The business has thrived.” Shangri-La Vintage Clothing Store offers customers the chance to go back in time with fashion statements for men and women. The neighborhood's west side is the grocery shopping destination, with a Jewel-Osco, Mariano’s and The Paulina Meat Market.
Roscoe Books is the favorite supplier to the Roscoe Village area with latest best selling books.

Rules on housing
Another aspect of keeping a village feel is the rules for renovating a house or new construction. “There are instances where builders are changing a building from a multi-unit to a single-family home, and we want to ensure it doesn’t get too big,” David says, who is also vice president of the Roscoe Valley Neighbors group. “We don’t want to see a four-story building go up. It would take away the vibe we have.” There’s a mix of condos, single-family and multi-family units. Newer homes are built in the classic style with modern takes on classic Foursquare design, which is between $1 and $2 million. These houses have plenty of space, between 4,200 and 5,200 square feet. Some older homes, with some as old as the 1890s, may be slightly under $1 million and have between 2,000 and 2,500 square feet of living space. Duplexes and condos are priced between $500,000 and $700,000. Fifty-one percent of the people living in Roscoe Village are homeowners.
