Andersonville Apartments

When searching for apartments here, you will find generously sized rentals with a significant inventory of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. There are always great 3-bedroom apartment options, while 4-bedroom apartments for rent tend to be more limited. Andersonville apartments for rent can be found in a vast array of vintage apartment buildings, two-flats, and single-family houses. Due to high renter demand and the small geographic footprint, this popular far north side neighborhood is slightly more costly than some surrounding neighborhoods like Uptown and Edgewater.

Andersonville is a popular Chicago apartment rental neighborhood (tucked inside Edgewater and on the border of Uptown) on the far north side of Chicago, with Swedish roots dating back more than one hundred years. The eclectic commercial center of the neighborhood straddles Clark street and includes a host of independently owned boutiques, bakeries, bars, and restaurants. It's a small but diverse area with a relatively high "hipness" quotient and a healthy corps of devoted community organizations who fight for green streets and support locally owned businesses.

Why all the Swedish paraphernalia in Andersonville? The iconic water tower painted blue and yellow to resemble the Swedish flag indicates that you've arrived in Andersonville, one of Chicago's historic northside neighborhoods. The neighborhood used to be filled with cherry orchards tended by Swedish farmers in the early days of Chicago. Now, apartment renters in Andersonville can live in a more diverse neighborhood than the name suggests, and Andersonville has emerged as one of the most LGBTQ-friendly neighborhoods in Chicago.

Andersonville apartments put renters within reach of trendy restaurants, many pubs, independent bookstores, and coffee shops, and it's easy to get to via Lake Shore Drive or the CTA. There are many convenient options in Andersonville for your groceries and daily essentials with Jewel-Osco on Clark, Mariano's on Sheridan and Foster, and Old World market on Broadway.

Access to public transportation is a breeze in Andersonville. The Bryn Mawr and the Berwyn CTA Red Line train stations are just a few blocks east. CTA bus routes in the neighborhood include 36, 50, 84, 92, 136, 146, 147, 151.
