Andersonville is a North Side neighborhood built around Clark Street, straddling the line between the Edgewater and Uptown community areas. By the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce's rough definition, it runs from Lawrence Avenue up to Victoria Street and from Ravenswood Avenue over to Magnolia Avenue, with its busiest blocks near Clark and Berwyn.
Andersonville Chicago real estate pairs a walkable shopping street with quiet residential blocks of vintage buildings. The neighborhood takes its name from the Andersonville School, built in 1854 on land near Clark Street and Foster Avenue.
Andersonville Chicago homes and condos
Most housing sits on the side streets that branch off Clark:
- Vintage 2-flats and 3-flats
- Brick courtyard buildings, some converted to condominiums
- Greystones and other walk-up multi-unit buildings
- Single-family homes, including houses in the Lakewood Balmoral Historic District
With so much vintage housing stock, details such as masonry, porches, boilers and garden-unit permits deserve close attention before a purchase.
Clark Street and local landmarks
Clark Street is the main street. The Andersonville Commercial Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 9, 2010, runs along Clark from 4800 North to 5800 North and is lined with independent shops, cafés and restaurants in early twentieth-century buildings. The Chamber's office is at 5706 N Clark St.
The Swedish American Museum at 5211 N Clark St has occupied its three-story building since 1987, and the water tower on its roof is a familiar local landmark. Annual traditions include Midsommarfest in summer and the museum's Julmarknad holiday market; check andersonville.org for current dates.

How Daniel helps buyers and sellers in Andersonville
Buying: For a condo, Daniel reviews the association's budget, reserves, special assessments and leasing rules. For a 2- to 4-unit building, he helps you compare leases with the rent roll, check separate utilities and plan inspections of roofs, masonry and mechanical systems. See how his buyer representation works.
Selling: Value here depends on close comparisons: the same block, the same building style and similar unit layouts. Daniel prices from matched MLS sales, prepares your home for showings and markets it to buyers already watching the Clark Street area.
