Why Live in East Side

East Side in Chicago, located near the Indiana border and separated from the city by the Calumet River, offers a suburban feel with strong community ties. The neighborhood features Chicago bungalows and two-flats, along with some modern-traditional split levels and bi-levels, often with small front yards and alley or detached garage parking. Local events, such as Little League games and culturally-influenced holiday celebrations, foster a close-knit community. Residents enjoy proximity to Calumet Beach and the Lake Michigan waterfront, providing recreational opportunities like fishing and boating. Dining options reflect the neighborhood's diverse Latino heritage, with notable spots like Birrieria Ocotlan and Leon’s Barbeque Zone. Grocery shopping is convenient with stores like Pete’s Fresh Market and Aldi, and a Walmart Supercenter just across the state line. The neighborhood is moderately walkable and bike-friendly, though most residents rely on cars for daily errands. Public transportation includes CTA bus routes, and downtown Chicago is accessible despite the Metra ending just across the river. Advocate Trinity Hospital is about 4 miles away, offering 24-hour emergency services. The East Side Chamber of Commerce organizes events like the annual Trunk or Treat and the 10th Ward Holiday Market. While the area is safer than the national average, industrial activity and traffic contribute to noise and busy streets. The Cook County Helicopter Task Force also adds to the noise with frequent helicopter operations.
