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.
