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.

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.
