Chatham Neighborhood

Chatham is a Southside neighborhood straddling the busy Dan Ryan Expressway. Home to many employees of the city, it has a history of middle-class affluence, preoccupied with African-American families. As Chicago, and in particular, the south side, has evolved and changed throughout the past half a century, Chatham has been more consistent and remains as one of the most family-friendly neighborhoods in the area. The Chatham Market is a primary shopping destination for residents of the South Side which features big box stores, local retailers and eateries.
