Say you want to live alone, but don't want to pay the exorbitant prices of Chicago's trendiest neighborhoods. Well, good news. Add a little more commute time on your way into the Loop (or subtract some commute time if you work in the north suburbs), and you have Edgewater, one of the city's most unsung neighborhoods.

Edgewater is especially ideal for singles who prefer to live without a roommate's dirty dishes in the sink. Even so, when we asked the team at Zumper to find the cheapest apartments for singles in Edgewater, they came up with a few that would also work for couples, families and a group of close-knit buds.

5718 N Winthrop Ave, Apt #205: $1,000/month

Admittedly, there's not a whole heck of a lot of space in this studio. Then again, the rent is on point, there's in-unit laundry, a fitness room and rooftop deck. Also, the beach is just a walk away.

1023 W Balmoral Ave, Apt #2A: $1,675/month

Roommates are optional at this two-bedroom flat with a fireplace. There's enough space to keep one's distance, or set up a personal office or hangout nook and forgo the extra human. There's plenty of storage in each of the rooms. The endearing Chicago-style wooden deck out back climbs up the rear of the building and also provides for relaxation outdoors with both sun and shade.

6337 N Clark St, Apt #2: $1,350/month

Straddling the border of Edgewater and Rogers Park is this spacious 1,400-square-foot, three-bedroom on the second floor. Hardwood floors run throughout and, again, there is a handsome fireplace accented with dark brick. Each bedroom is spacious enough to sleep in or use as one sees fit—personal gym, library, guest room—you name it. The kitchen isn't necessarily anything to write home about, then again, with a few smart touches (paint those cabinets!), you could make it unrecognizable to its former self.

5660 N Wayne Ave, Apt #1: $1,850/month

The previous renters of this two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex unit were a family and they used its 1,500 square feet well. In truth though, the apartment is better suited as a single's pad or for a pair of roommates who have things to do—namely at-home hobbies. The garden floor is essentially a second living room, sans the fireplace present in the one on the ground floor, making it just right for a practice space or room for crafts.

N Winthrop Ave, Apt #209: $850/month

This carpeted studio apartment is quite literally a single large room with a small, tidy bathroom in which to shower and relieve oneself when nature calls. There's a kitchen equipped with necessities and two spacious closets. The rest is open and sunny, waiting for the right tenant to spruce things up a tad.
