Edgewater Historically a suburban summer getaway, this lakefront community is now one of the most desirable North Side neighborhoods in the city of Chicago. Crammed full of antique shops among its many historic districts, Edgewater has preserved its past well, all the while embracing new residents and their contributions. Locally-owned specialty shops, a myriad of restaurants, and several theaters all demonstrate just how abundant Edgewater is. Residents who love spending their time outdoors have the advantage of living immediately next to the Chicago Lakefront Trail and one of the city's most popular beaches. Excellent public transportation makes it easy to enjoy both Edgewater's many attractions and festivals, while also providing necessary connections to the rest of the city.
