Comfy Garden Suite in Andersonville

A comfortable garden unit in a well cared for 3-flat, in a wonderful and safe neighborhood. Easy access to the lake front, dining and shopping. A great weekend getaway or a place to call home for a few months. Public transit is nearby, trains and express buses to downtown. Ride a bike home from downtown along the lakefront.
A neighborhood on Chicago’s north side, Andersonville is known for its Swedish roots, historic architecture, and bustling urban main street, Clark Street. When you arrive in Andersonville, you feel you have arrived someplace special.

Note: Being a garden unit, take note of the dropped heating pipes, particularly if you are taller than 6'2. Please see pics.

While our roots are Swedish, we are also recognized as the “shop local capital of Chicago,” supporting the largest network of local and independent businesses in the area.

Home to one of Chicago’s largest LGBTQ+ populations, Andersonville is a community full of pride and a commitment to equality.
* Parking is free on the street, no permits and easy
* Public transit is nearby
* Walk to neighborhood shops
* Little known secret: Take express bus to downtown shopping in 20 mins along lake shore drive, optionally ride bike home along the lakefront. The train is also an option.

My favorite places are the Hopleaf for a Belgian style brewpub atmosphere, very popular and Little Bad Wolf for dining. There is so much along the Clark St strip for shopping, don’t miss the Andersonville Galleria, a collection of shops in one venue. The brown elephant is another interesting thrift store for treasure hunts. Everything is close to your location. You’ll also want to go to the lakefront, just walk east down Berwyn, then at Sheridan look for a parkway to the north of Berwyn at Sheridan to get to the lakefront parks, great place for a bike ride. Ride north and it gets busier along the path. You’ll notice a Mariano’s grocery store (my favorite one) at Sheridan and Foster (you can get to the lake from Foster as well). There are two other grocery stores close by as well, depending on the direction you are headed. Oh, another great spot you’ll need to book in advance… Chicago Magic Lounge, a newly renovated flashback to a mid century atmosphere with reminiscent cocktails and a cozy setting for a magic show, a unique experience.
