South Shore

South Shore is where affordable, down-to-earth living meets extensive beaches and expansive public recreation space. This beautiful, sprawling, south side neighborhood offers wonderful lakefront facilities and a number of civic organizations dedicated to ambitious community programming. The most notable of such facilities is the South Shore Cultural Center, which is a hub of outdoor amusement--including lengthy walking trails, sports programs, a bird sanctuary, and waterfront grounds that boast dramatic views of downtown Chicago. This stunning outdoor retreat is often referred to as the "gem of the south side."

The wide stretch of sand referred to as Rainbow Beach is the South Shore's answer to sun, fun, and surf. Rainbow Beach features walking and jogging paths, in addition to a number of remarkable exercise facilities and opportunities for outdoor recreation. That is, of course, if you prefer to do something other than simply lie on the sand and relax.

The South Shore neighborhood offers an affordable and attractive mix of residential options. From luxurious high-rise dwellings mere minutes from the beach, to three- and four-story rental and condo units, you'll enjoy the air of friendliness and convenience this location offers no matter where you choose to settle.
