Welcome to Near South Planning Board
Chicago's Near South is a community reborn. Looking today at the area just south of the Loop, from Lake Michigan west to the Chicago River, you'll find a vibrant place where you can live, work, play, study, pray, and shop.
A PLACE TO PLAY
Sample our diverse neighborhoods. Visit the restaurants, shops, museums, galleries and historic sites of spots like Printers Row, Chinatown, the Prairie Avenue Historic District, Bronzeville, Motor Row, River City and Central Station for just a start. Check out events at McCormick Place, the nation's largest convention center. Or peruse the White Sox schedule for a home game at U.S. Cellular Field.
A PLACE TO LIVE AND WORK
From young singles to empty-nesters, people are finding homes in new high-rise towers, in rehabilitated coach houses, in lofts converted from old warehouses, or in communities of new townhouses.
Supporting this residential growth, the Near South is home to thriving businesses. Retail, banking, printing, health care, fitness, auto care--you name it. It's also a center for education. Over 24 colleges, universities, and other institutions of higher learning call the Near South home. And churches, hospitals, schools...the essentials that link you to the community are all here.
THE NEAR SOUTH PLANNING BOARD. . .
