Andersonville, located between Uptown and Edgewater, is a residential and commercial Chicago neighborhood with a historic main street and a strong independent retail scene. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Clark Street near Foster Avenue, where sidewalk patios, specialty grocers, design shops, and low-lit cocktail bars cluster block by block. Brick two-flats and courtyard apartments line the side streets, while vintage storefronts keep the streetscape intimate. The Swedish American Museum and the landmark Neo-Futurists theater act as cultural anchors. Hopleaf Bar and Simon’s Tavern serve as long-running gathering spots with a lived-in feel. Nearby lakefront paths and pocket parks add breathing room to the dense grid.

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.
