Chicago - Arcadia Terrace
Arcadia Terrace, while closely connected to the larger neighborhoods of East and West Rogers Park, is characterized by its distinguished geography and demographic makeup. This quiet, tree-lined residential area is "experiencing new growth and a rebirth of interest, thanks to recent revitalization along Lincoln Avenue."
Classic bungalows and traditional two-flats are the prominient architecture, although more new construction condominiums are springing up throughout the neighborhood.

Arcadia Terrace is located about 8 miles north of the Loop and is bounded by Peterson Avenue to the north, Western Avenue to the east, Bryn Mawr Avenue to the south and California Avenue to the west.
Numerous CTA bus routes serve the neighborhood. For car drivers, Peterson and Lincoln Avenues are both 4-lane roads. There are painted bike lanes along California, Peterson, Bryn Mawr and Western Avenues. And..."plain old walking is a real treat in Arcadia Terrace. Classic architecture combined with landscaped green yards and well-maintained sidewalks make this north side Chicago neighborhood a destination in itself."
