The neighborhood takes its name from Phillip Rogers, an Irishman who purchased approximately 1,600 acres of government land in 1856. Some of that land, which was annexed by the city in 1893, became Rogers Park.

Agriculture was the first industry and the fertile land produced hay, cabbage and cucumbers. The price of land then was a far cry from what it is now. An acre of land cost $1.25 an acre in the mid-1800s

Toward the end of the 19th century, well-heeled Chicagoans headed to Rogers Park and built elegant homes on large lots. Multi-unit buildings, many of which have been converted to condos, also were built.

Rogers Park's richly layered history is reflected in these stately older structures. The neighborhood has also evolved to become one of the city's most culturally and economically diverse. People of all ethnicities, from all walks of life and backgrounds make their homes in this neighborhood that is also known for its proximity to the beaches of Lake Michigan.

The neigborhood boasts condos loaded with old-time charm in buildings that line streets leading to the lake and throughout the neigborhood, as well as newly constructed lofts with an edgier look, old-fashioned courtyard buildings with lawns and gardens at their centers and other mid-rise condo buildings.

A wide range of prices for condos is a significant part of the appeal of Rogers Park. One bedroom units can be found starting at the mid-90,000 range to upward of $700,000 for a penthouse condo with spectacular lake and city views.
