The boundaries of South Shore are 67th Street, 79th Street, Stony Island Avenue and Lake Michigan. More than $125 million in reinvestment money has been pumped into the neighborhood by South Shore Bank and its lending subsidiaries.

Two public golf courses abut the neighborhood. South Shore Country Club, directly on the lakefront, has a freshly renovated nine-hole course, and Jackson Park offers a full 18-hole golf course with caddie services available.
