Building Up the Village: New Homes Coming to Belmont as Roscoe Village's Housing Momentum Grows

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Roscoe Village · April 26, 2026

Roscoe Village is getting a little more room to grow. A full building permit was issued earlier this month for a brand-new four-story residential building at 2249 W. Belmont Ave. — a six-unit development that marks another chapter in the neighborhood's steady, community-rooted housing evolution. And that's not all: a separate four-story, six-unit development has also been proposed just steps away at 2210 W. Belmont, signaling that builders and investors alike continue to see Roscoe Village as one of the North Side's most desirable places to put down roots.

For longtime residents, new residential construction along Belmont is a sign that the 'Village Within the City' remains as attractive as ever — balancing the small-town charm that defines the neighborhood with thoughtful growth that keeps pace with demand. With the Lakeview Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce's 2023 Master Plan already serving as a guiding roadmap for the area's next decade of development, projects like these reflect a neighborhood that's planning — not just growing — with intention.
