Edgewater is like most neighborhoods - your have your advocates and your detractors. And both sides likely have a degree of subjective infusion with respect to their sentiments. My wife and I live in Edgewater. We have owned a building here for more than a decade. The sweet spot of the neighborhood is west of Broadway, east of Clark, north of Ridge and south of Devon. The area east of Broadway is more heavily congested - larger buildings, more people, parking is much more challenging. West of Clark is not as congested as east of Broadway but it is further from the el, from the lake and does not feature the tree-lined streets of the "sweet spot."
I am unsure what type of home you seek. I think Edgewater provides strong value to buyers on three fronts - single families, multi units and condos. In fact I think single family options in Edgewater are among the truest values for buyers in comparison to the entire city. School options include what many denizens regard as the emerging Peirce Elementary and nearby private options include Northside Catholic Academy, Sacred Heart and Rogers Park Montessori. Our five and six year old sons attend Baker Demonstration School, a 15-minute drive near the B'hai Temple.
I think a reasonable means of gaining a sense for yourself of the neighborhood is to visit local businesses, see the people who live here and chat with them. A great place to accomplish this is one of our favorite places, Lickety Split, an off the rail sweets shop at Glenlake and Broadway. Metropolis Coffee on Granville is a great place to grab a latte for the journey and Indie a zagat-rated Thai Sushi eatery that has awesome rolls.
Personally I perceive Edgewater as a go-to place for the housing I mention above. Values are great and there is a convivial sense of place. And trick or treating is great on Hood and Glenlake.
