Edgewater Beach, located between Foster Avenue and Hollywood Avenue, is a lakefront and residential Chicago neighborhood with a historic high-rise skyline and a broad stretch of shoreline. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Broadway and Berwyn Avenue, where indie cafes, global eateries, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks busy. The Bryn Mawr Historic District adds early 20th-century courtyard buildings and brick walk-ups to the streetscape. The lakefront edge centers on Berger Park and the waterfront paths near the former Edgewater Beach Hotel site. The Green Mill anchors nearby nights with jazz history, while the Aragon Ballroom and Riviera Theatre draw marquee shows. Transit nodes at Bryn Mawr and Berwyn tie the grid to the rest of the city.
