An exceptional opportunity to own a full-size vacant lot in the heart of Humboldt Park! Buyer to independently verify zoning, permitted uses, building requirements, utilities, lot dimensions, and all development-related information with the City of Chicago. Property is being sold AS-IS. Seller makes no representations regarding development potential.
Humboldt Park, located between Logan Square and West Town, is a historic and park-centered Chicago neighborhood with a lagoon-lined boulevard system and stately greystone blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Division Street near California Avenue, where corner taquerias, bakeries, music spots, and late-night cafes keep the sidewalks active. Humboldt Park’s namesake park sets the pace with wide lawns, the boathouse, and the formal rose garden. The National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture anchors a strong arts presence in a landmark stable building. The 606’s Humboldt Park spur adds a bike-and-run corridor that links streets of vintage two-flats and brick walk-ups.

RS-3
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 - RS3 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
