About South
Shore
South Shore, located between Jackson Park and Rainbow Beach, is a lakefront and residential Chicago neighborhood with a historic parkland edge and a broad shoreline. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around 71st Street and South Shore Drive, where storefront corridors meet the lake breeze near South Shore Cultural Center. Brick two-flats and courtyard apartments line leafy blocks, while South Shore Drive frames long views of Lake Michigan. South Shore Cultural Center anchors arts and events in a landmark former country club. South Shore Brew and the South Shore Nature Sanctuary add a grounded, local rhythm of pints and prairie paths.

RS-2
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 - RS2 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
