EDGEWATER
7 MILES Edgewater is bounded by Lake Michigan to the east, Foster Avenue to the south, Ravenswood Avenue to the west and Devon Avenue to the north. The neighborhood began in the 1890s as a retreat for members of Chicago’s elite society. Later, the affluence of the area was symbolized most by the Edgewater Beach Hotel that opened in 1916 right on Lake Michigan and Sheridan Road. The extension of Lake Shore Drive from 1951 to 1954 cut the hotel off from the beach and the hotel closed in 1967.
The CTA Red Line and buses have multiple stops in Edgewater.
The CTA’s Red Line has stops at Loyola (Devon), Granville, Thorndale, Bryn Mawr and Berwyn. Buses run along Sheridan and Lake Shore Drive. The Metra train stops near Lawrence and Ravenswood. Edgewater is easily accessible to Lake Shore Drive. Edgewater has five lakefront parks including Osterman Beach, George Lane Park, Berger Park and two others between Ardmore and Devon.
