Just like it sounds, Edgewater sits along the shore of Lake Michigan, affording breathtaking landscapes and beachfront activities. It has long been one of Chicago's most popular and diverse communities. Many of the late-nineteenth and early twentieth century residences in Edgewater have been rehabbed to provide residents with comfortable living spaces that rival those of downtown condominiums. A strip of towering lakeside condos fades into typical neighborhood blocks as you move further inland, filled with frame houses and bungalows. While the west side residential areas are rather quiet, Edgewater's main streets are full of life, entertainment, shopping and restaurants. During the summer months the neighborhood's Farmer's Market bustles with vendors selling farm-grown fruits, veggies, flowers and other handmade items you can't find anywhere else. For the outdoor enthusiasts, a long paved trail runs the length of the neighborhood and beyond, offering breathtaking views and fresh breezes.
