What is Beverly, Chicago?
'''Beverly''' is one of the 77 community areas of [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]]. It is located on the [[South Side, Chicago|South Side]] on the southwestern edge of the city. Sparsely settled in the middle of the 19th century. Its position on the ridge allowed the community to become an exclusive [[streetcar suburb]], and the homes and large lots reflect this historic distinction. Beverly is located on the highest elevation in Chicago.<ref>{{cite book|last=Grossman|first=James R., Ann Durkin Keating and Janice L.
