Around the Neighborhood
General
Renting an apartment in Edgewater, Chicago, will present options that range in size. Renters can expect Edgewater apartments, spread over nearly 2 square miles near Chicago's northern shoreline, to be more affordable than the higher-end luxury rentals concentrated in neighborhoods closer to downtown Chicago like Lakeview and Lincoln Park Wrigleyville. However, many Edgewater apartments can be found in larger 2-, 3- and 4-flats with a vintage character while outfitting with modern amenities.
Among the many Edgewater rentals, the majority listed for rent are 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom apartments. With that in mind, there are still plenty of affordable studios and one-bedroom apartments in Edgewater, Chicago. The larger 4-bedroom apartments are less available but can be more likely found in summer.
It may be no surprise that this neighborhood has been the choice of many renters searching for cheap apartments in Chicago. The affordable rents and the proximity of many Edgewater rentals to Lake Michigan, Lake Shore Drive, the CTA Red Line, and diverse local businesses add extra appeal for renters who want a convenient and engaging location.
Edgewater Chicago also encompasses the Bryn Mawr Historic District, located between Sheridan Road and Broadway Ave along Bryn Mawr. It includes the historic Edgewater Beach Apartments, Belle Shore Apartment Hotel, Bryn Mawr Apartment Hotel, etc. It also marks the northernmost point of the Lincoln Park lakefront park at Foster Ave.
The Edgewater neighborhood includes Andersonville and Lakewood-Balmoral (each treated as a separate neighborhood on Domu). It stretches from the shores of Lake Michigan to Ravenswood Avenue. Transportation to and from Edgewater is easy, thanks to the CTA Red Line and Purple Line' L' trains that run directly through the neighborhood and countless express and local buses. The Foster and Hollywood beaches are magnets for sports enthusiasts and sun-bathers alike in the summer, while the park district offers free entertainment with its "Movies In The Park" series.
