Located directly southwest of Jackson Park, Grand Crossing residents have quick access to this popular city park on the coast of Lake Michigan with public beaches, museums, golf course, and more. Grand Crossing is a quiet, affordable neighborhood 10 miles south of downtown Chicago, and less than 10 miles from the Chicago Midway International Airport.
This relaxing refuge from downtown is located off of I-90, giving residents convenient access to major highways. Residents and tourists alike enjoy the iconic Stony Island Arts Bank. This historic building, an abandoned bank until 2015, offers a gallery, archive, library, and community center that’s a true piece of South Side history.
