Budlong Woods, located between Lincoln Square and West Ridge, is a residential and leafy Chicago neighborhood with brick bungalows and a calm, tree-lined street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Peterson Ave and Lincoln Ave corridor, where small groceries, casual eateries, and everyday services keep the sidewalks active. Classic Chicago courtyard buildings mix with tidy single-family homes, giving the blocks a steady, lived-in rhythm. North Park University and nearby riverfront green space add an academic-and-outdoors backdrop. The North Branch of the Chicago River traces the area’s edge, shaping pocket parks and walking routes. Transit along Peterson and Western ties the neighborhood to surrounding commercial strips without changing its quiet tone.

RS-1
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 - RS1 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
