Explore South Deering

Pleasantly wedged between the Calumet River and Lake Calumet, South Deering is a culturally diverse Chicago neighborhood that features cozy residential homes as well as an important center for industrial development. Single-family houses dominate the South Deering blocks with characteristic brick bungalows, spacious two-story abodes, mid-century ranches, and standard split-levels. Real estate prices in this part of Chicago are very affordable. However, as redevelopment takes hold here, some property values are expected to increase in the area. A smattering of quick bite eateries and a few local grocers are the bulk of South Deering commercial establishments and a handful of preschool and elementary schools cover the neighborhood's educational needs.
