Neighborhoods
The neighborhood is the perfect representation of a real Chicago neighborhood experience. Great restaurants, boutiques and it's easy to get to everything. Located on the North Side of Chicago and off the Brown Line of the El, getting around is a snap. The street parking is not permitted so you can park overnight on the side streets. We love Roscoe Village--it truly is a small village within the city!
