Location
Get Directions
Greater Grand Crossing encompasses five South Side neighborhoods: Grand Crossing, Park Manor, Essex, Brookdale, and Brookline. Located about eight miles south of the Loop, this area is just minutes from the exciting amenities and employment opportunities that characterize Downtown Chicago.
This neighborhood's buildings are showstoppers – the Spanish Revival style appears frequently with stucco walls and ornate terracotta elements. Elegant cornices and parapets adorn commercial buildings and serve as a testament to the city's great architectural past. The rental options are just as diverse as the architecture, including luxuriously renovated apartments, longstanding houses, and everything in between.
The Gary Comer Youth Center plays the leading role in this community. The Center provides a stage for the performing arts, instructional classes for all ages, and mental health and wellness services for the entire community to enjoy.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
