Brainerd, located between Washington Heights and Roseland, is a residential and industrial Chicago neighborhood with brick bungalows and rail-side warehouses. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 95th Street Metra corridor near S. Halsted St., where commuter platforms, corner storefronts, and wide arterials set a practical, working-city rhythm. Classic Chicago housing stock lines calm blocks, while freight lines and light industry shape the edges. Brainerd Park adds a green counterpoint with courts and open field space. The Metra Electric’s Brainerd station ties daily routines to downtown and the South Side. Nearby community pillars such as the Beverly Arts Center, the Pullman National Historical Park, and the historic Pullman Factory complex help anchor local culture.

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.
