Neighborhoods
Welcome to Andersonville. 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. 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. Andersonville is a community full of
pride and a commitment to equality. Andersonville is for everyone.
With a quirky atmosphere and distinctive flavor, the area has quickly become one of the North Side's most popular neighborhoods.
Distinctive to Andersonville is a lack of national chains. In fact, the neighborhood's commercial district is made up almost entirely of independent, locally-owned businesses (with the exception of Starbucks). Between its specialty bakeries, dynamic bar scene and incredible array of stylish boutiques, Andersonville is a thriving example of colorful urban living.
Along Clark Street's fabled "restaurant strip," you will find craft brew emporium Hopleaf Bar, epic brunch spot m. henry and some of the city's best comfort food at Big Jones. Hamburger Mary's is famous for its lively dining atmosphere and outstanding ground chuck. In addition, Hamburger Mary's hosts award-winning stage shows at an in-house theater, which is precisely the kind of eccentric charm that you can expect in Andersonville.
