West Pullman, located between the Little Calumet River and I-94, is a residential and industrial Chicago neighborhood with rail-yard edges and long blocks of brick bungalows. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along 119th Street near S Halsted Street, where corner groceries, barbershops, and carryouts line the sidewalks beside steady bus traffic. Classic Chicago worker-era housing mixes with low-slung commercial strips and wide setbacks that keep the streetscape open. The Major Taylor Trail adds a linear green corridor for walking and cycling. West Pullman Park and nearby riverfront paths shape a grounded, outdoors-forward rhythm. Local staples like Calumet Fisheries and the Pullman National Historical Park sit close by and help anchor the area’s South Side identity.

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 - RS2 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
