Rogers Park Could Be The Next Frontier For New Development, But Residents Want Their Say
North Side neighborhoods along the lake, such as Uptown, Lincoln Park and Edgewater, have largely gentrified, and neighborhoods once home to thousands of immigrants from Caribbean islands, Africa, the Middle East and Appalachia now teem with affluent families inhabiting everything from renovated architectural gems to sleek new apartment and condo buildings.
Developers are now casting glances at Rogers Park, the most northern of Chicago’s lakefront neighborhoods, and many in the community are leery of change. In many ways, Rogers Park is a throwback. The development boom largely missed it, and languages from around the world are still heard on its streets and in many shops.
