Residential area by Chicago Midway International Airport
Rooted in the founding of an industrial district on the outskirts of town, life in Clearing is distinct among southwest Chicago neighborhoods thanks to what’s above it. A quick look at the sky above is often punctuated by passenger planes darting in and out of Chicago Midway International Airport, the residential community’s northeastern neighbor. Between the air traffic and the mostly freight-focused railyards to the south, residents can find international cuisine and independent grocery stores nestled along 63rd Street and several southwest Chicago parks within the neighborhood. “It’s a well-known, established and diverse community. You get the best of going downtown and also the south suburbs,” says Tish Herrera, a real estate agent with Baird & Warner. Herrera has sold homes in the Windy City for more than 20 years.
Traditional homes on compact streets
Chicago-style raised ranch homes are the most common style for single-family homes in Clearing. These homes share the basements and one-floor stylings of the nationally popular ranch style of the mid-20th century, but adapted to the city lifestyle by using narrow floorplans and architectural influences from the popular Prairie style like low-pitched roofs and brick exteriors. A few other styles are also present nearby, including traditional homes with influences from American Foursquare and Cape Cod architecture. Prices generally start at $180,000 and go up to $500,000.Multi-family properties in the area include condos, Georgian-style townhomes and a few two- and three-flat converted homes. Prices for these typically range from $100,000 to $300,000 for individual units, and whole buildings usually sell for $325,000 to $600,000. Due to Clearing’s location near Chicago Midway International Airport, locals on the east end of the neighborhood may encounter high noise levels from air traffic. Many homes in the neighborhood received upgrades to doors, windows and other equipment through the Residential Sound Insulation Program, an initiative funded by the airport to reduce the impact on neighbors’ daily life.
