Andersonville Homes for Sale | Clark Street and Beyond

No, and the difference matters for pricing. Edgewater is one of Chicago's 77 official community areas. Andersonville is a neighborhood inside the western half of it that also extends south across Foster Avenue into Uptown. They are not interchangeable and they do not trade alike. Over the three months ending March 2026, Andersonville's median sale price was about $750,000 at about $467 per square foot, while Edgewater's active listing medians at points during 2026 sat far lower, because Edgewater's inventory is dominated by lakefront high-rise condominiums and Andersonville's is dominated by two to four unit masonry buildings and single-family homes. A listing described as Edgewater may or may not be in Andersonville, so confirm the actual location before comparing it to anything.

Because of the main street, and because the housing is scarce. Roughly a mile of North Clark Street is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Andersonville Commercial Historic District, and its early twentieth century storefronts are largely intact and occupied by independent businesses rather than chains. A functioning commercial district of that kind is rare in Chicago at any distance from the Loop, and buyers pay to live within walking distance of one. At the same time the residential stock is small, mostly two-flats, three-flats, and modest single-family homes on standard lots, with very little new construction and often fewer than ten single-family listings active at a time. Scarce supply and a genuine amenity produce a per-square-foot figure above North Center and central Lakeview.

About $750,000 was the median sale price over the three months ending March 2026, at about $467 per square foot, up roughly 3 and 4 percent respectively year over year, with homes selling in about 42 days. Condominiums are the accessible end of the market and make up the largest share of listings, with recent condo listings spanning roughly $349,000 to $915,000. Two to four unit buildings and single-family homes run higher. Because the neighborhood is small and sales volumes are modest, monthly medians move around a lot, so any figure should be checked against current MLS data before you act on it.

Mostly small pre-war masonry buildings rather than either houses or towers. The blocks around Clark Street are built out with brick two-flats and three-flats, greystones, frame cottages that predate the masonry around them, small courtyard buildings, and condo conversions in both purpose-built and mixed-use buildings. Single-family homes are concentrated west of Clark Street toward Ashland and Ravenswood. There are no high-rises inside the neighborhood, and new construction is limited. For buyers who want a whole small building to owner-occupy or hold, this is one of the better hunting grounds on the North Side.

It depends on what you are buying. West of Clark Street toward Ashland and Ravenswood holds most of the single-family homes and the larger two-flats and three-flats, on quiet tree-lined blocks, and is where the biggest houses trade. East of Clark toward Glenwood and Magnolia gets denser, with more three-flats, courtyard buildings, and small condo buildings, generally the most accessible pricing and the shortest walk to the Red Line. Directly on Clark Street you get the shortest walk to everything and the most street noise, festival closures, and parking difficulty. South of Foster Avenue, the stretch known as SoFo, is genuinely Andersonville locally but sits in the Uptown community area, which affects what an automated valuation compares it against.

There is no rapid transit station inside the neighborhood, which surprises people. The CTA Red Line stops at Berwyn and Bryn Mawr, both just east of the neighborhood's eastern boundary and a walk of several blocks from most of Andersonville, and the Red Line runs 24 hours. The number 22 Clark bus runs the length of the commercial strip and continues south into the city. Metra Union Pacific North trains stop at Ravenswood to the southwest and reach Ogilvie Transportation Center quickly. Whether the neighborhood feels well connected depends heavily on which block you are on, so walk the route from a specific address before deciding.

JDC Group has worked the Chicago market since 1996 and lists Andersonville and Edgewater among its service areas, working the neighborhood from an office at 2350 North Lincoln Avenue. Andersonville rewards specific knowledge more than most North Side neighborhoods for three reasons. It has no official boundary, so a listing marketed as Andersonville may sit in Edgewater or Uptown and pull the wrong comparables. Two to four unit buildings dominate the stock, which makes deconversion potential, separate utilities, and garden unit legality the questions that actually decide value. And the market is small enough that monthly medians mislead.
