Edgewater Real Estate

The real estate in Edgewater provides Chicago residents with affordable, convenient, and satisfying homeownership. The Edgewater community is located in Chicago's north side adjacent to Lake Michigan and only 15 minutes away from downtown Loop via Lake Shore Drive. While it is an urban community, Edgewater has the feel of a suburban community with wide streets, huge yards, and a close, friendly atmosphere where neighbors chat with each other as they walk their dogs. 

The Fannie Mae Foundation named Edgewater to be “just right for affordable homeownership,” along with only nine other urban communities in the US. The various types of housing seen in Edgewater include brick, stucco, and frame single family homes, multi-unit condominiums in converted rental properties, and high rise buildings (including the building at the edge of Lake Shore Drive where Bob Newhart's character lived in his first sit-com). Whether you prefer a view overlooking Lake Michigan along Sheridan Road (east of Broadway)or a spacious vintage home (west of Broadway), or multiple new construction buildings going up along Broadway, Edgewater offers a wonderfully inclusive hometown feel.

Being located near Lake Michigan affords Edgewater residents access to the water (albeit cold water). With the close proximity of downtown Edgewater residents have easy access to downtown, the Gold Coast, and Lincoln Park. And Wrigley Field is only four stops away on the Red Line for a nice getaway on a summer day.
