We're helping a client get their beautiful Edgewater Glen home prepared for the spring market. Edgewater is a diverse Chicago Community Area - in its people and housing options - that extends from the lakefront all the way back to North Ravenswood Avenue. I think many people first envision the 1960s and 1970s high-rise and vintage courtyard buildings near the lake. The neighborhood is dense with multi-units and condos. Edgewater is also home to attractive single family homes among it's tight knit neighborhoods. Let's take a look at the single family home sale market.

Edgewater single family home sales

82 single family homes sold in 2020 with a median price of $735,000. The median price has inched up the last few years but down from 2016 when it was $805,000. The highest priced sale in 2020 is 1439 West Farragut closed for $1,425,000.  The renovated grey stone is steps from Andersonville restaurants, bars and shops.  The lowest priced sale in 2020 was 1624 West Peterson for $285,000. The foreclosed home is located near the busy Peterson/ Ridge intersection and needed a gut renovation.

Lakewood-Balmoral Historic District and Edgewater Glen are probably the better known sub neighborhoods of Edgewater for blocks dominated by single family homes.  West Edgewater between North Clark and  Ravenswood has its own distinct vibe and is close to great amenities.

A "people spot" in the Andersonville neighborhood of Edgewater.  The restaurant / retail strip is one of the most robust and fun in the city.
