About this property
Retro 2 bedroom bungalow in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood
Welcome to the Retro Roost! Sleeps 4 Guests/2 bedrooms, 1bath, separate entrance and exit and a full kitchen.
A sunny second story apartment filled with color and vintage pieces to bring a sense of fun and wonder to your Chicago visit. We hope for your stay to be comfortable, safe, and fun while in your separate top unit apartment we affectionately call the Retro Roost.
We are located in the Avondale neighborhood in Chicago.
The Avondale neighborhood has been ranked one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world!
Time Out Magazine gave Avondale the 16th coolest spot on a list of 51.
The magazine asked city dwellers worldwide to pick their city's neighborhoods with great dining and drinking options, and energetic street life.
Time Out Chicago editor Emma Krupp wrote that Avondale, once and still a center of Chicago's Polish community, is now "equally defined by some of the city's best Mexican food and a truly madcap array of small businesses."
Specifically, Krupp mentioned The Brewed horror-themed coffee shop, at 2843 N. Milwaukee Ave., and The Insect Asylum entomological collection at 2870 N. Milwaukee Ave. – among an assortment of others she named as stops for a "perfect day" in Avondale. She also noted that Avondale features "everything from trendy new bars and airy plant stores to decades-old sausage shops catering to the neighborhood's Polish-speaking population."
