Known for its diversity, Edgewater lies between Lakeview and Rogers Park, stretching from the lake west to Ravenswood Avenue between Foster Avenue to the south and Devon to the north. Dozens of high rise apartments line Sheridan Road between Foster and Devon with views of the city and the lake. In the heart of Edgewater, along Argyle Street, from Sheridan to Broadway, is Chicago's new Chinatown with many popular restaurants and shops owned by refugees from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
Another well known neighborhood within Edgewater is Andersonville, so named for its origins as a Swedish American neighborhood. Andersonville's backbone runs along Clark Street, which still has a Scandinavian flavor, in spite of ethnic changes in the neighborhood in recent decades. It's also home to the Swedish American Museum and Association.
