Listed by Isidro Corona• Premiere Realty Group Inc
Montclare, located between Elmwood Park and Belmont Cragin, is a residential and industrial Chicago neighborhood with a rail-lined edge and a pocket-park rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Grand Avenue and Harlem Avenue corridor, where corner bakeries, long-running taverns, and small auto shops share the street with everyday errands. Brick bungalows and two-flats set a steady architectural cadence, broken up by light-industrial buildings near the tracks. The Montclare Metra stop adds a commuter pulse without changing the low-rise feel. Side streets stay quiet, while Grand Avenue carries most of the local motion.

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.
