Clearing is a calm, residential neighborhood on Chicago’s far Southwest Side, best known for its proximity to Midway Airport, low crime, and suburban atmosphere within city limits. With wide streets, front lawns, brick bungalows, and a mix of long-time residents and newer families, Clearing feels worlds away from the bustle of the city, while still offering solid access to transit and amenities. The area is divided between residential zones and airport/industrial zones, offering a unique blend of quiet living with city convenience. It’s a favorite for city workers, retirees, and anyone looking for peace and space without leaving Chicago.
