About South Edgebrook

There's not much about South Edgebrook that's urban, apart from its close proximity to the city of Chicago. Otherwise, this northwestern neighborhood has a strictly residential feel that's made even more serene by a forest preserve and a few golf courses. Of course, if this slowed-down vibe is your thing, then you may have just found the neighborhood for you.

Around South Edgebrook

You won't find much else besides single-family homes in South Edgebrook, but that's great news for those who are looking to settle down while maintaining close ties with the city. The homes here come in a range of styles, from angular modern homes to intricate Victorians to cozy bungalows.

There's some give and take when you choose to live in a place as residential as South Edgebrook. You get the single-family home that you want, but you do lose some of the culinary variety that you'd find in the bustling city. Check out Cicero and Peterson Avenues just outside of South Edgebrook for an eclectic choice of Thai, Indian, and comfort food restaurants.

South Edgebrook has all of the trappings of suburbia. Sleepy, tree-lined streets set the scene for kids playing and moms pushing strollers. This neighborhood's golf courses ensure that you might also see a few golf carts zipping around or people unloading their clubs from the trunks of their cars.

South Edgebrook will most likely be sleeping on a Friday night. It's not known for its energetic nightlife, and many of the neighborhoods this far from the center aren't, either. However, a short trip south to Jefferson Park will afford you access to a handful of bars and Irish pubs.

A sunny Sunday might draw you to one of South Edgebrook's two golf courses to play 18 holes. If hitting the links isn't your thing, perhaps you'd prefer a hike through the neighborhood's lush forest preserves, through which the North Branch of the Chicago River runs. Of course, you could just hang out at home on a lazy Sunday–this neighborhood has those suburban vibes, after all.
