Clearing is a neighborhood in Chicago that has well kept single family homes that sell for a fraction of the price of north side homes. It is one of the best kept secrets of Chicago- with great ethnic Polish and Mexican restaurants, and fantastic bakeries. There are several great city parks- one with a free pool, numerous churches nearby, and it's only 12 miles to the Loop. It's a relatively safe area since many city policemen and firemen live there. I've owned property there since the mid 80's, still own a home there that I rent out, and still love the area.
I have lived here all my life and I thoroughly enjoy my neighborhood. I like how I feel safe walking around and I can easily take the bus to the Midway CTA station and travel downtown. I am also pleased with the Orange Line being one of the more safer train lines. There are a decent amount of stores and restaurants here but if I want more I cane easily travel to Hodgkins in my car and meet those needs. I feel like everyone in this neighborhood knows each other or are friendly people.
Its a beautiful and quiet neighborhood filled with local parks, respectful people and lots of different stores. It is also diverse.
