Old Norwood Park, located between the Kennedy Expressway (I-90) and the Des Plaines River, is a historic and residential Chicago neighborhood with landmark Victorian-era homes and a village-like street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Norwood Park Metra station area near Northwest Highway and N Avondale Ave, where corner taverns, longtime eateries, and small storefronts set a steady, local rhythm. Architectural details stand out in the Norwood Park Historic District, with porches, gables, and mature trees framing quiet blocks. The Noble-Seymour-Crippen House anchors the area’s deep roots in early Chicago history. Sidewalks lead toward neighborhood greens like Norwood Park and nearby forest preserves for a change of scenery. The pace stays calm, with commuter rail and neighborhood institutions shaping daily routines.

RS-1
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 - RS1 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
