SOUTHEAST NEIGHBORHOOD <br />The Southeast Neighborhood is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. It <br />developed and prospered with the Studebaker Motor Company and South Bend's heavy <br />manufacturing base. Still in tandem with the broader area, the Southeast has declined <br />and, in some areas, disappeared as the inner city manufacturing base eroded and jobs <br />declined, disappeared and relocated. <br />The neighborhood is generally viewed as being bounded by Michigan Street <br />(west), the alley west of Miami Street (east), Sample Street (north) and Ewing Street <br />(south).

In earlier planning and development efforts, the <br />Southeast Neighborhood included the Monroe-Sample neighborhood, the northern <br />portion of the Studebaker Corridor and what is now called the Studebaker fringe area. <br />The land uses within the Southeast Neighborhood are primarily residential. <br />However, in addition to the commercial development along Sample Street, Michigan <br />Street, and Miami Street, there are several other areas ofnon-residential land uses in the <br />13DD1301 47~6224v4 D-1 <br />
