South Austin, located between Garfield Park and Oak Park, is a residential and commercial Chicago neighborhood with a boulevard-lined streetscape and a legacy of early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along the Madison Street corridor near Austin Boulevard, where corner taverns, longtime eateries, and storefront services keep the sidewalks active. Landmark brick two-flats and classic Chicago bungalows define many blocks, with larger courtyard buildings appearing closer to main arterials. Columbus Park’s prairie-style landscape and lagoons set a calm counterpoint to the busier retail strips. Cultural pillars such as the Austin Town Hall Park fieldhouse and the historic Laramie State Bank building anchor local identity. CTA Green Line stations at Austin and Central connect the area to the wider city.

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.
