With all this talk about “West Bucktown,” you’d think that the mere mention of Logan Square was enough to doom a development.
But there are projects out there that take pride in their location, and – surprise – some are even latching onto the Logan Square name without actually standing inside the neighborhood’s boundaries.
Case-in-point: Logan’s Edge, a four-story, elevatored condominium building in Avondale. The promotional lit for Logan’s Edge (located at 2931 N Milwaukee Ave) hypes its proximity to the Milwaukee corridor’s dive bars and bike shops, but also plays up the area’s “quaint charm of a small European town.”
Two of the building’s six units are still on the market. Both are three-bed / two-bath condos with about 1,800 square feet of space, enclosed balconies and parking. Features include a mix of hardwood and carpet floors, granite counters and cherry cabinets in the kitchens, marble showers and 10-foot ceilings.
A short walk up Gresham and Kimball avenues will get you to the Belmont Blue Line stop; Logan Square itself is farther away, but if you’re going to be eating at El Cid (as Logan Edge’s pamphlet suggests), that walking distance might not be a bad thing.
Prices are from the $310s to $350s, with rooftop decks going for an extra $10,000. As expected, this development and others near the Avondale / Logan Square boundary seem to be drawing first-time buyers, as well as people from outside the Chicago metro area, says New Chicago Real Estate agent Margarita Rodriguez, who is representing the development with Deborah Hess.

Looks like a nice project. Logan Square will only get better than it is today.
replacing Dominick’s would help. I notice they still have it listed on their pamphlet, naughty naughty.
Revamping an old area is never easy and most can’t see the vision. Give it time it will improve the area. A city nearby us did this with the downtown air which was old and antiquated and crack houses. Now its charming lots of restaurants and antique stores. Condo’s above the stores and weekly farmers market and community events are held there. When the president came he even came to the area.
