West Woodlawn, located between Washington Park and Jackson Park, is a residential and academic Chicago neighborhood with classic brick two-flats and leafy boulevards. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around 63rd Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, where storefront corridors and campus-bound foot traffic set the daily rhythm. The Rebuild Foundation’s Stony Island Arts Bank and the South Side Community Art Center serve as cultural anchors with a strong sense of place. Blocks of greystones and courtyard buildings sit alongside newer infill near the University of Chicago. Green space and lakefront paths shape weekend routines. Transit lines and wide arterials keep the geography legible and connected.

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.
