A diverse community with lakeside charm
Edgewater, once a summer retreat for Chicagoans, has evolved into a lively, connected neighborhood that appeals to a diverse range of residents. The area strikes a balance between urban convenience and a relaxed, almost suburban feel, earning it the nickname "Mayberry with an edge."
The neighborhood offers a mix of housing options, from high-rise condos along Sheridan Road to single-family homes and multi-unit buildings inland. This diversity is reflected in the local dining scene, with options ranging from Ethiopian cuisine at Ethiopian Diamond Restaurant and Bar to comfort food at Moody's Pub, a neighborhood staple since 1959.
Shopping options abound, with Whole Foods Market and Jewel-Osco nearby for groceries. The Broadway Antique Market offers vintage housewares and collectibles, while independent shops like Kim's Hardware add to the neighborhood's charm.
Edgewater's crown jewel is its expansive beach, the largest in Chicago. Residents can enjoy the lakefront bike path, which stretches along the shoreline, or relax at Kathy Osterman Beach. The nearby Edgewater Dog Park provides a space for four-legged residents to socialize and play.
The neighborhood comes alive in the summer with block parties and events like Edgefest, a major community celebration featuring live music, local artisans, and food from area restaurants. Cultural offerings include performances at the Raven Theatre and The Edge Theater, adding to the area's vibrant arts scene.
With its mix of urban amenities and neighborhood feel, Edgewater offers a unique living experience that combines the best of city life with a strong sense of community.
