Andersonville
Andersonville Living
Just blocks from the lakefront, Andersonville offers residents a vibrant, self-sustaining community on Chicago’s north side.
At the forefront of the “shop local” movement, the historic and bustling business district along Clark Street is a mecca of locally owned businesses including independent shops, restaurants, bars and bistros. Residents can find almost everything nearby, from the grocery store and dentist to fine art and antique shops.
In addition to dinner, cocktails, music, magic and the Andersonville Farmers Market, residents can enjoy al fresco dining with plenty of dog-friendly patios. Andersonville also hosts one of Chicago’s most popular street festivals, Midsommarfest.
The neighborhood is accessible by express buses, the “L” and Lake Shore Drive.
