Chicago Community & Neighborhood Information

Tucked into the southwest corner of Edgewater is Andersonville, a charming community bounded by Foster, Clark, Ravenswood and Bryn Mawr. Andersonville has a decidedly Swedish presence, with traditional Swedish festivals held on Clark Street.

The neighborhood also is proud of several landmark homes that have been well preserved. Not a single home facade on the north side of West Farragut Avenue has been altered since the quiet street was developed in 1920.

Housing
Andersonville apartments rent from $950 to $1,600 for a two-bedroom unit; and from $1,600 to $1,775 for a three- bedroom unit.

Transportation
Edgewater is served by the CTA's Howard-Dan Ryan Line with stops at Loyola (Devon), Granville, Thorndale, Bryn Mawr and Berwyn. Several CTA express buses also run along Sheridan and Lake Shore Drive to the Loop. The Metra commuter train stops near the western edge of the neighborhood at Lawrence and Ravenswood. Travel to the Loop on Lake Shore Drive takes about 15 minutes.
