Edgewater

If you’re looking for a comfortable atmosphere while you’re in the thick of the city, Edgewater might be the place for you. This neighborhood is one of the city’s more interesting spots, characterized by single family homes, high rises,  and the occasional low-rise flats.  This neighborhood of Chicago is also well known for its antique shops, as the Edgewater Antique Mall, Broadway Antique Market, and Brownstone Antiques all call the Edgewater area their home.  The city’s largest park, Lincoln Park, stretches south from Edgewater for seven miles along the lake, almost to downtown.  Given its name, it is not surprising that the neighborhoods of Edgewater are knit together by their enjoyment of the lake, the several lakeside parks and beaches that residents enjoy in the Spring and Summer months.
