Description
A thriving community on the edge of Lake Michigan, Edgewater is framed by high-rise residential buildings on the east edge, graduating down into three- and four-story apartment blocks as the eye looks west. The usual blend of shops, restaurants and take outs are scattered along each road, with a higher concentration of antique shops like Brownstone Antiques and the Edgewater Antique Mall.
Several distinct communities make their home here; Andersonville was originally home to Swedish immigrants and keeps those roots alive through offerings like the Swedish American Museum. In recent years the neighborhood has welcomed families from the Middle East, former Yugoslavia and the Horn of Africa. Edgewater also has a lively LGBTQ+ population, with a number of bars and businesses catering to that community, even as rising rent and gradual gentrification begin to take their toll.
Transport through the district is aided by the Red Line 'L'.
