Morgan Park, located between Beverly and Mount Greenwood, is a residential and historic Chicago neighborhood with leafy boulevards and a collegiate campus feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around 111th Street and Longwood Drive, where small storefronts, cafes, and local services line the walkable blocks. Classic Chicago bungalows and sturdy brick two-flats mix with larger homes along tree-canopied streets near the ridge. The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools’ Belfield campus and the sweeping greens of the Beverly Country Club shape the area’s daily rhythm. Open lawns and trails at nearby parks add room for a slower-paced routine without leaving the city.

The primary purpose of the RS districts is to accommodate the development of detached houses on individual lots. It is intended that RS zoning be applied in areas where the land-use pattern is characterized predominately by detached houses on individual lots or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. The Zoning Ordinance includes three RS districts - RS1 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
