Auburn Gresham, located between Chatham and Beverly, is a residential and historic Chicago neighborhood with brick bungalow blocks and broad, tree-lined boulevards. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates along 79th Street near Halsted, where storefronts, barbershops, and longtime eateries set a steady, street-level rhythm. Landmark Baptist Church anchors the streetscape with a monumental presence, while the Auburn Gresham Healthy Lifestyle Hub adds a civic, community-centered pulse. Housing leans toward classic Chicago masonry—bungalows, two-flats, and sturdy courtyard buildings—framing calm side streets. Parks and school campuses create open sightlines and everyday gathering space, and Metra service at 79th Street links the area to the Loop.

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.
