Ravenswood, located between Uptown and Lincoln Square, is a residential and industrial Chicago neighborhood with a leafy streetscape and a rail-lined commercial spine. Much of its texture comes from brick two-flats, courtyard buildings, and converted lofts tucked along the Metra tracks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Ravenswood Metra station area at Lawrence Avenue and Ravenswood Avenue, where breweries, coffee counters, and small studios cluster under the rumble of passing trains. Community pillars include Begyle Brewing, Dovetail Brewery, and the Ravenswood ArtWalk, which opens working studios to the street. Winnemac Park adds open lawns and ballfields, while the Damen Brown Line keeps the grid connected to the rest of the North Side.

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.
