Roscoe Village leapfrogs West Roscoe Village

While all of us are busily mocking the “West Roscoe Village” usage, apartment rental services are busy extending the boundaries of Roscoe Village.

Based on a brief survey of Craigslist apartment ads,, Roscoe Village now extends as far north / west as Belle Plaine and Elston, and as far south / west as Wellington and the river. The eastern boundaries are holding, except for parts of Uptown, which are being overtaken by Roscoe Village.

The battle cry for renting out-of-favor locations: It takes a Village.
