The Village Green is a condominium complex in Baldwin Hills, a Los Angeles neighborhood. It is located between Rodeo Road and Coliseum Street. The complex was built in 1942 as one of the most ambitiously planned communities in Los Angeles at the time. The complex, which encompassed 627 units, was designed by the firm of Wilson, Merill & Alexander. As one of the first such establishments, the Village Green was also designed with the requirements of car-owners in mind[3].
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2001.[2][4]
