East Side of Chicago?

[Kevin Hunter]

Hello BP Community!

Anyone have any thoughts on investing on the East side of Chicago? (Avenue B-O) This sometimes seems like a "forgotten" part of the city, especially being the fact that it runs right up to Indiana state line.  However, after taking a drive through several blocks, I see well taken care of buildings and homes despite the area once being home to heavy industrial activity such as steel mills.

Gathering details online it is in fact one of our 77 community areas. Located in the far southeastern corner of the city, the East Side is bounded by the Calumet River on the north and west, Lake Michigan on the east and Egger’s Grove on the south. Numerous bike paths and trails are also in the area

I've looked to see if the east side was selected as one of the neighborhoods in the city's INVEST SOUTH/WEST but did not find anything. Any thoughts? Am I looking at some potential here? or are my glasses just foggy? lol
