About South Deering

South Deering is a community area on Chicago's Far Southeast Side, bounded by 87th Street to the north, 130th Street to the south, the Illinois state line and Lake Michigan to the east, and the Calumet River and railroad tracks to the west. The neighborhood includes the Trumbull Park Homes public housing development and the site of the former Wisconsin Steel works, one of the many steel mills that once lined the Calumet River.

South Deering's housing stock includes a mix of bungalows, ranch houses, and older workers' cottages. The neighborhood has a more industrial character than many Chicago communities, with large parcels of former industrial land along the Calumet River. The area has been the focus of environmental remediation and brownfield redevelopment efforts. Trumbull Park provides recreational facilities for the community.
