Edgewater, located approximately seven miles north of the Loop, is a vibrant, lakefront neighborhood bounded by Rogers Park to the north, Uptown to the south, Lincoln Square to the west, and Lake Michigan to the east. Known for its architectural variety, active shoreline, and diverse community, Edgewater offers a dynamic mix of historic charm and urban convenience.
