West Englewood, located between Garfield Boulevard and 75th Street, is a residential and industrial Chicago neighborhood with a grid of brick two-flats and broad commercial corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along 63rd Street near Ashland Avenue, where corner groceries, barbershops, and storefront services line the blocks. Kennedy-King College anchors the area with a campus presence and public-facing programs. Lindblom Park’s fieldhouse and open lawns shape daily routines around recreation and green space. Rail lines and wide arterials frame the edges, giving the streetscape a big-shouldered, working-city feel.

RS-3
Residential Single-Unit (Detached House) District
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 - RS3 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
Permitted uses
