 South Shore is a lake front neighborhood located just southeast of the University of Chicago and Museum of Science and Industry. Its entire coastline is green space and beaches, interrupted only by two blocks of modern apartment buildings. Parkland, golf courses and recreational centers are among the amenities that bring visitors to the community of 54,401residents. South Shore is a family-oriented community of diverse income levels. The community is served by six distinct commercial areas, 71st Street, 75th Street, 79th Street, Stony Island Avenue, Exchange Avenue, and South Chicago Avenue, the industrial corridor immediately south of the neighborhood. Most of the above-mentioned strips have been proposed or approved as Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts. South Shore is less than an half-hour from the loop by METRA. The community is served by two new Stations on 71st Street completed in 2006. Other access is from the Dan Ryan Expressway, 2.5 miles to the west, the Chicago Skyway, recently rebuilt at Stony Island Avenue, and Lake Shore Drive via Jeffrey Boulevard. Visitors to South Shore are treated to examples of the some of Chicago’s finest architecture. Every major architectural style is represented – Prairie, Romanesque, Tudor, Gothic, Queen Ann, Victorian, Foursquare, Classic, and more.
