646-48 W. Roscoe Chicago IL 60657 Lake View

The Broadway & Roscoe bus stop is right outside the building, about a 2-minute walk, and it puts four routes within reach from one corner: the 8 Halsted runs south through Lincoln Park and the Near North Side, the 36 Broadway heads downtown to LaSalle Street Station, the 77 Belmont connects east to the lakefront and west toward the Belmont L stop, and the 146 Inner Lake Shore/Michigan Express runs a direct, limited-stop ride down Lake Shore Drive to Michigan Avenue and the Museum Campus, roughly every 30 minutes through the day.

For rail, the Belmont station at 945 West Belmont Avenue is about a 12-minute walk and puts three L lines on one platform: the Red Line runs 24/7 with trains every 3-10 minutes at rush hour (up to every 15 minutes overnight) toward the Loop and 95th/Dan Ryan, the Brown Line runs toward the Loop and Kimball roughly every few minutes during the day, and the Purple Line Express adds a faster weekday rush-hour run straight to the Loop.

Wendt Playlot Park sits right on Roscoe Street, about a 2-minute walk, a renovated neighborhood playground and green space for a quick outdoor break without leaving the block. A Starbucks at 3358 North Broadway is about the same distance for a daily coffee run, and the Merlo branch of the Chicago Public Library at 644 West Belmont Avenue is roughly a 6-minute walk, with a full collection, public computers, and community programming.

For the weekly shop, a Mariano's full-size grocery store at 3030 North Broadway is about a 12-minute walk, covering groceries, a pharmacy counter, and prepared foods in one stop. The same stretch of Broadway carries a mix of everyday restaurants and shops, making it an easy walk to combine errands with a meal out.
