"Chicago Transit Hikes: A Guide to Getting Out in Nature without a Car" author Lindsay Welbers spent ten years living in an apartment in the Logan Square community before deciding to move. She describes Logan as a "very, very dense city-type neighborhood” that she felt was connected to nature because of all the nearby green space. For instance, she could walk to the Blue Line under tree canopy the whole way. Then she moved to Jefferson Park, which she says has more of a suburban vibe with "little postage stamp lawns."
