North Lawndale, located between Garfield Park and Little Village, is a historic and residential Chicago neighborhood with a boulevard landscape and landmark architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the intersection of Roosevelt Road and Pulaski Road, where corner groceries, barbershops, and long-running local eateries line the commercial strips. Greystone two-flats and brick courtyard buildings set a sturdy streetscape, with wide rights-of-way that hint at the West Side’s grand planning era. Homan Square’s restored campus adds a civic focal point and public gathering space. Douglass Park frames the area with lagoons, fieldhouses, and festival lawns. The Douglass Branch of the Chicago Public Library anchors daily routines with a classic neighborhood institution.

RT-4
Residential Two-Flat, Townhouse and Multi-Unit District
The primary purpose of the RT districts is to accommodate detached houses, two-flats, townhouses and low-density, multi-unit residential buildings at a density and building scale that is compatible with RS districts. The districts are intended to be applied in areas characterized by a mix of housing types. The districts are also intended to provide a gradual transition between RS districts and higher density RM districts. The RT districts are differentiated primarily on the basis of allowed density (minimum lot area per unit) and floor area ratios.
