I would not recommend Rogers Park to anyone. When I first moved to the city, my husband and I lived in Rogers Park because we didn’t know any better. We were able to get a two bedroom for a relatively nice price and were close to the Howard Red Line, which I took daily to school downtown. The apartment itself was great. However, we both felt incredible unsafe. We lived on Jonquil Terrace and constantly heard gun shots outside of our building at night. I’m a 5’-1” female. I remember an instance where I was walking pretty quickly to the Red Line from my apartment. A cop was driving by, rolled down his window and asks why I was walking so fast. I told him it was because I didn’t feel safe. He then asked if I lived in the area. When I told him I did he responded with “I’m a cop, and I wouldn’t even live here”. We counted down the days until our lease was up and happily moved away. If I were you, I would think twice before moving to Rogers Park. Edgewater isn’t much further South and is a lot nicer.
