Edgewater is one of the city's more interesting neighborhoods -- yet few people, even in Chicago, think of it as a neighborhood at all.
Once considered part of the Uptown neighborhood to its south, Edgewater, for a variety of reasons, spun off on its own in 1980. By that time, its single best-known attraction, the once-glamorous Edgewater Beach Hotel (at Sheridan Road and Berwyn Avenue), had been demolished, and the view of the Lake Michigan waterfront was on its way to being barricaded behind a succession of high-rise apartment buildings.
When visitors came to enjoy the area, they went to Andersonville, which, though technically within Edgewater's boundaries along Clark Street, had (and continues to have) its own identity; or directly to the Lake Michigan beaches at Hollywood or Foster Avenue without giving the neighborhood another thought.
