Around River's Edge
River's Edge is the name of the neighborhood as well as the name of a condominium complex that provides much of the housing here. There are ten different floor plans within the complex, all of which include over 1,196 or more square feet of living space. If you seek something a bit more spacious, there's also a pocket of single-family homes.
You'll have to order in or venture outside the neighborhood to find a restaurant. Of course, a major city like Chicago has many diverse eateries to match its population. Just outside of River's Edge, you'll easily find Chinese and Mexican food as well as Korean barbecue, American comfort food, and pizza. Head to Foster Avenue or Pulaski Road, where there's more activity.
River's Edge attracts its residents with the promise of serenity within the city. Looking at an aerial view, you'll notice that it's surrounded by green space, which is a rarity in Chicago. Homeowners are surrounded by leafy green trees and enjoy easy access to the banks of the Chicago River, should they want to go for a walk or run along the water.
A Friday night in River's Edge will probably be pretty quiet— that's the give-and-take of living in a neighborhood that's equal parts small and serene. If you prefer to spend your weekend nights in, then this could be the spot for you to settle down. If not, a ride down Foster Avenue to the Albany Park or Lincoln Square neighborhoods will bring you to more lively nightlife.
A relaxing Sunday in River's Edge will be easy to come by. Perhaps you'd whip up a nice brunch spread at your home or condo and enjoy it on your terrace, from which you can really enjoy the scenery that makes the neighborhood so unique. Then, lace up your sneakers for a leisurely walk (or run) along the banks of the river. This type of easy Sunday morning is what draws residents to River's Edge.
