Logan Square Is Growing Up: New Housing, a Farmers Market Refresh, and Your Chance to Shape the Belmont Blue Line
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Logan Square ·
Logan Square's community-building momentum isn't just happening on Milwaukee Avenue — it's spreading block by block. Three fresh developments are giving neighbors real opportunities to shape what the neighborhood looks like next, and the energy couldn't be more optimistic.
First up: a proposal to bring a five-story, 40-unit residential building to a currently vacant lot at Diversey and Mozart is moving through the planning process, with Ald. Daniel La Spata's office inviting neighbors to weigh in. It's exactly the kind of dense, transit-accessible housing that can keep Logan Square affordable and vibrant for the next generation of residents. Meanwhile, the Logan Square Chamber of Commerce has moved its beloved Outdoor Farmers Market to a brand-new location for 2026 — a fresh chapter for one of the neighborhood's most community-rooted summer traditions, connecting neighbors with local growers and vendors all season long.
And if you want a say in the future of the Belmont Blue Line corridor — one of Logan Square's most important transit anchors — a community survey is open now, asking residents to map their priorities for green space, shade, and neighborhood character in the area. It's a rare chance to put your vision directly on the record. Logan Square, your neighborhood is listening. Have you taken the Belmont Blue Line survey, checked out the new Farmers Market location, or weighed in on the Diversey-Mozart housing proposal? Share your thoughts with your neighbors on Socialhood!
