Chatham, located between 75th Street and 95th Street, is a residential and historic Chicago neighborhood with brick bungalow blocks and broad, tree-lined boulevards. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around 79th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, where storefront corridors, barbershops, bakeries, and longtime eateries set a steady, street-level rhythm. Architecture leans toward classic Chicago bungalows and sturdy mid-century apartment buildings, with tidy front lawns and deep setbacks. The Chatham Club anchors local culture with live music and a storied room that still feels intimate. Simeon Career Academy’s campus adds a civic scale, while nearby green space at Tuley Park brings courts, fields, and open lawns into the weekly routine.

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.
