Far Southeast Side

What it’s like to live in Far Southeast Side

Far Southeast Side offers significantly more affordable housing options than northern or central Chicago neighborhoods. Many homes feature surprisingly large lots with actual yards – a rarity in much of Chicago. While downtown commutes require longer transit times and some commercial areas need investment, residents enjoy genuine community connection, substantially more living space, and excellent access to Lake Michigan beaches with less crowding than northside shorelines.
