Excellent opportunity in West Garfield Park: a classic Chicago 2-flat with a NON-CONFORMING garden-level basement living space that currently provides additional income. The main level offers a spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit currently occupied by the owner; the upper level features a 3-bedroom, 1-bath unit; and the NON-CONFORMING garden-level space adds a currently performing 1-bedroom, 1-bath layout. Main units feature separate living and dining rooms for added space and comfort, plus a shared basement laundry room. Major mechanicals are already handled, with the hot water heater and furnace both replaced in 2021 and a new sump pump installed in June 2026, giving a buyer real peace of mind from day one. The numbers make this an especially compelling move for an owner-occupant: a buyer can move in, and the current rental income from the upper unit and the garden-level space combined will cover a significant share of the mortgage, helping an owner-occupant keep housing costs low. Add in the 2-car detached garage, and this West Garfield Park 2-flat offers a nice owner-occupant or investment property setup.
West Garfield Park, located between Garfield Park and Austin, is a historic and industrial Chicago neighborhood with brick two-flats and broad boulevards. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Madison Street near Pulaski Road, where corner storefronts, murals, and long-running local services set a busy streetscape. The Sankofa Cultural Arts & Business Center anchors community programming and performances in a landmark former bank building. Garfield Park Conservatory and the surrounding parkland shape daily routines with greenhouse paths, lagoons, and fieldhouses. Blocks of greystone flats and courtyard buildings sit beside rail lines and warehouse corridors, giving the area a working-city texture. The Green Line stations at Pulaski and Kedzie tie the neighborhood to downtown-facing commutes and weekend plans.

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.
