Cragin, located between Belmont Avenue and Fullerton Avenue, is a residential and industrial Chicago neighborhood with brick two-flats and active commercial strips. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates along the Belmont Avenue corridor near Cicero Avenue, where bakeries, taquerias, barbershops, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks busy. Classic Chicago courtyard buildings and bungalow blocks set a steady architectural rhythm, while wide arterials frame the area’s working-city feel. Hanson Park anchors daily routines with ballfields, a pool, and long walking loops. The Brickyard Mall area adds big-box retail in a former industrial landscape. Community pillars include La Villa Restaurant Lounge, the Patio Theater, and the Brickyard Mall.

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.
