Located on Chicago's Far North Side, Edgewater is a sprawling area that
attracts city people who nonetheless appreciate wider streets, spacious
yards and friendly neighbors. Andersonville is a long-established
community of two-flats and single-family homes, and has a lively retail
and restaurant district along Clark Street. With its bungalows and
frame cottages, historic Bowmanville evokes small town America on the
North Side of Chicago. Lakewood-Balmoral is a traditional neighborhood
of single-family homes and two-flats. On Edgewater's northern border is
Edgewater Glen, a family-oriented neighborhood of brick and frame
single-family homes where pride of ownership and community commitment
are part of the lifestyle. To the east is Edgewater Beach, where
high-rise condominium buildings overlook Lincoln Park and the lake.
