Clearing Originally named "Clearing" due to the sheer number of farm goods, which were cleared (or delivered) through the airport and railroad yards, this Chicago community remains closely tied to Chicago Midway Airport, while also transitioning into much more of a residential area than before. No longer the mysterious "Lost Village," Clearing is now defined by its safety, dozens of options for eating out, and consistently strong rental and resale value. Drawing in residents of all backgrounds, Clearing provides all the necessities in addition to housing itself: access to public transportation via the CTA Orange Line and several buses, a few public parks for recreational purposes, and both public and private educational options for those searching. Spend your weekends grabbing a bite to eat at one of many neighborhood food establishments, search for unique finds at a local boutique, or go bowling with some friends! Whether you choose to go out, or stay in, Clearing is a great place to call home.
