Ravenswood is quiet in a way that surprises people this close to Lincoln Square and Andersonville. The blocks are residential, the trees are tall, and most errands point you toward Montrose, Damen or Lawrence. The exception is the industrial corridor along the rail line, where old factory lofts have been repurposed into breweries, a distillery, art studios and architecture firms. Locals call the brewery stretch Malt Row, and it gets its own festival.
Victorian and frame single-family homes, brick two-flats and three-flats, vintage courtyard condos, and loft conversions near the tracks.
The CTA Brown Line stops at Montrose and at Damen. Metra's Union Pacific North line stops at Ravenswood station, near Lawrence, which is the fastest ride downtown. Buses run on Damen, Montrose, Lawrence and Ashland.
I'm Megan Sullivan with Compass, and Ravenswood is a few minutes from my home base. Old frame houses here hide a lot behind the siding, good and bad. I'll help you figure out which one you're looking at.
