Located roughly four miles north of downtown Chicago, and close to Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs baseball team, the boundaries of Roscoe Village are Addison Avenue, Ravenswood Avenue, Belmont Avenue and the Chicago River. The neighborhood contains bungalows, two-flats and condominiums. It also offers many newer townhome developments and loft conversions. Roscoe Village draws many professionals, couples and new families to the neighborhood. They are attracted to the community because of its proximity to downtown Chicago, the lakefront and the accessibility to all modes of transportation. Less crowded than other areas like Lincoln Park, Roscoe Village is considered to be a very stable and serene neighborhood that is family-oriented, yet at the same time trendy and filled with small specialty shops, hip restaurants, various entertainment venues, and a strong community spirit. The Roscoe Village Neighbors (RVN) is a group of residents and business owners who work together to welcome new residents to the community, improve the environment though an annual neighborhood clean-up, sponsor an annual garden walk, conduct an annual book drive, put on holiday parties, and oversee the well-attended "Retro on Roscoe" neighborhood festival, which draws more than 35,000 guests to the neighborhood each August. In their leisure time, residents and visitors alike can also peruse the many antique shops located on "Antique Row." Located on a five-block stretch of Belmont Avenue from Damen to Western Avenue, the group of stores is considered to be the largest concentration of antique stores in the entire Midwest. A weekly farmer's market also draws residents and others into the neighborhood during the summer months; the Music Box Theatre on Southport attracts movie lovers, and the Mercury Theater, also on the same street, features plays, musicals, children's performances, and other events.
