    Anchored by South Chicago, East Side, South Deering, and Calumet Heights, 60617 sits along Lake Michigan and the Calumet River, blending industrial heritage with lake breezes and four true seasons. Expect a down-to-earth, multigenerational community with strong Southeast Side pride, Mexican and Eastern European influences, and a low-key dining scene—think Calumet Fisheries by the 95th Street bridge, panaderías and taquerías on Commercial and Ewing, and neighborhood favorites like Calumet Bakery. Everyday errands are easy with Aldi on 93rd, independent mercados, and retail clusters along 87th and Stony Island, plus local gyms. Outdoor time is a highlight: Calumet Park’s beach and fieldhouse, Steelworkers Park’s lakefront overlooks, Big Marsh Park’s bike trails and birding, and Bessemer and Rowan Parks’ ballfields. Transit is practical via the Metra Electric South Chicago branch and CTA buses, with quick access to the I-90 Skyway and I-94. Generally family- and pet-friendly, recent market trends show a median rent in the low-$1,300s, with most listings roughly $1,000–$1,800 in recent months.
