Ravenswood

Ravenswood

Ravenswood was developed with the intention of becoming an exclusive commuter suburb, but between 1868 and 1906, it was a sparsely populated area of the city largely occupied by farms and small homesteads. A development boom followed the construction of the Ravenswood elevated train line in 1906 and 1907, and the area filled up with small houses, two-flats and apartment buildings.

Ravenswood is now known for its 'courtyard' style residential buildings. Ravenswood, once considered an "up and coming" neighborhood in the past decade has recently seen its real estate values sky-rocket, making it one of the highest valued markets in the city.

Ravenswood enjoys one of the best transportation arrangements in the city. With the Brown Line spur running across the center from west to east (or vice versa) getting to downtown is simplified.
