Introduction
Dearborn Park, Prairie District, Museum Campus, and Prairie Shores are all part of the community area of Near South Side, just south of the downtown central business district, The Loop. This area contains some of Chicago’s best-known structures and is currently undergoing a major residential and mixed-use redevelopment.
Transportation
Residents of the area can use the Chicago “L” Orange Line, the SWS Train, and Busses #383 and #79.
Near South Side residents also have access to Lyft/Uber rideshare services. Unfortunately, this means that rideshare accidents, pedestrian accidents, motor vehicle accidents, and public transportation accidents can be common in the area.
Demographics
Dearborn Park and its surrounding neighborhoods have a population of 22,401 in its 1.75 square miles. The median household income for the area is $78,290 according to the most recent U.S. Census.
Education
The Near South Side area is primarily serviced by Chicago Public Schools, charter schools, and private schools, which include:
- Drake School
- National Teacher Academy
- South Loop School
- Phillips Academy High School
- Perspectives Charter School
- British International School Chicago South Loop
- South Loop Montessori School
When sending your child off to school you assume they will remain safe, however this isn’t always the case. School bus accidents, gym and physical education accidents, lack of supervision, playground injuries, college accidents, and school district negligence are just a few examples of the types of school injury cases America’s Consumer Lawyer has experience with.
Attractions
Dearborn Park and its communities are home to many activities and attractions, which include:
- Soldier Field
- McCormick Place
- Shedd Aquarium
- Adler Planetarium
- 12th Street Beach
- Coliseum Park
- Burnham Harbor
- Chicago Women’s Park and Garden

While most of the time spent at these attractions will be enjoyable and uneventful, accidents can occur, including slip and falls, bicycle accidents, bus accidents, car accidents, drinking and driving, dog bites, and playground accidents.
