Along the lake, you will find both mid and high-rise condo buildings overlooking Foster Beach and Lake Michigan. For entertainment, nearby Andersonville offers a multitude of bars and eateries that make for an exciting night out, without putting a hole in your wallet. So while you may travel outside the neighborhood confines for most of your entertainment options, Edgewater serves as a peaceful neighborhood to come home to every night.
