Calumet Heights Neighborhood

Calumet Heights is a largely residential neighborhood located on the south side of Chicago. This is one area of the city where the vast majority of the homes are owner-occupied, which supports the fact that those who move here tend to stay. Per its name, the Calumet River is nearby, and even Lake Michigan is fairly close. The Pill Hill neighborhood is often considered part of Calumet Heights. This community is home to Bronzeville Children’s Museum. It is the first and only African American children's museum in the United States.
