"Downtown" Rockwell Crossing + Sales in Ravenswood Gardens



We recently listed a condo for sale at 4709 N Artesian (now under contract) in the Ravenswood Gardens sub-neighborhood of Lincoln Square.  Although the condo is just across North Western Avenue from the major retail and entertainment strip it also has a small "downtown" of it's own called Rockwell Crossing  on North Rockwell Street.

 A handful of popular businesses line North Rockwell such as Bloom Yoga, Beans and Bagels (shown above), Rockwell's (bar and grill) Pizza Art CafĂ© and my personal favorite The Red Lion English pub.
