South Lawndale, located between the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and I-290, is a residential and industrial Chicago neighborhood with brick two-flats and broad commercial corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along 26th Street near Kedzie Avenue, where taquerias, panaderías, produce markets, and music shops keep the sidewalks in motion. The National Museum of Mexican Art anchors nearby cultural life, while Douglass Park frames the west side with lagoons, paths, and festival lawns. Pink Line trains at Kedzie and Pulaski stitch the grid to downtown-facing commutes. Blocks of greystone flats and courtyard buildings give many streets a steady, historic rhythm.

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.
