Roseland, located on the far south side of the city, is one of the 77 official community areas of Chicago, Illinois. It includes the neighborhoods of Fernwood, Princeton Park and Roseland.

That community became South Holland, Illinois and it received an influx of Roseland residents during the white flight of the mid-20th century.
