Brighton Park, located between McKinley Park and Gage Park, is a residential and industrial Chicago neighborhood with brick two-flats and active commercial corridors. The neighborhood’s pulse concentrates along Archer Avenue near Kedzie Avenue, where bakeries, taquerias, produce markets, and repair shops keep sidewalks busy. Kelly High School’s stadium lights and campus presence read as a local landmark on weekday afternoons. Streets of frame cottages and bungalow blocks sit beside rail lines and working warehouses, giving the area a practical, grounded feel. Brighton Park Branch Library adds a civic anchor for reading rooms and community programming. McKinley Park’s lagoon and paths sit just north, shaping daily routines around open space and seasonal events.

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

Religious facility
Day care facility
Housing-Single unit

Infrastructure
