Explore South Chicago
In a community that once buzzed with the heavy production of US Steel (one of the country's major steel manufacturers), South Chicago is a neighborhood rich in history centered about industry and organized labor. Today, these former industrial areas near Lake Michigan are some of the last few fleeting frontiers for development in the city. Acres of land along South Chicago's lakefront have not yet been built up — begging the interest of commercial and residential developers who continue to push south in search of prime real estate property. The neighborhood is bordered to the west by the Chicago Skyway, providing the region with good transportation. Both public schools and private academies dot the area, affording families their choice of scholastic options.
