Get To Know: Andersonville

Known for and still embracing its Swedish roots, Andersonville is one of Chicago’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Arguably it’s one of the most popular and established Northside locations, it’s also home to one of the city’s largest LGBTQ communities. Andersonville offers an array of modern favorites like Sweet Green and Lost Larson to local haunts like Simon’s, the Brown Elephant, and Swedish bakeries galore. Of course, you can find plenty more shopping and dining along the popular commercial strip, Clark Street. This laid-back expanse of charming 19th-century row homes offers endless character and lush green tree-lined streets.

It comes as no surprise that Andersonville’s real estate is booming. From new construction single-family homes with modern finishes and plenty of space to classic Chicago apartments. The neighborhood is no doubt a prime example of vibrant urban living. In fact, it was named the second coolest neighborhood in the world by Time Out magazine in 2021.
