Today, the neighborhood is a mixture of historic homes, new-construction residences and commercial buildings. The surrounding area is growing at an incredible pace. Urban Land Magazine recently reported that the Near South Side is adding 1,500 new residential units this year, including converted lofts, new townhomes, single-family homes and high-rise condominiums.
