Hi All!

I am relocating to Chicago soon to the Hegewisch neighborhood (SE side of Chicago ) and would like to know more about the neighborhood. Also what are the utility companies that provide water, gas, electric, cable, and phone?

Thanks for the insight.

Hegewisch is a strange place. It's almost completely disconnected from the Chicago street grid and surrounded by open space so it has a small-town feel. Basic amenities are minimal in Hegewisch so you'll probably be traveling to other neighborhoods a lot for basic shopping and dining. Hegewisch is adjacent to Indiana (Hammond to be more precise) where taxes are considerably lower, especially on gas, smokes and booze. Transportation to downtown is convenient via the South Shore train.

Water is provided by the city. Gas is provided by Peoples Gas. Electric is delivered by ComEd; however, you can choose from a list of suppliers. Cable is provided by Comcast; the neighborhood may also be served by RCN or Wide Open West.
