Parkway Gardens Apartment Homes
Parkway Gardens Apartment Homes, Public housing complex in Greater Grand Crossing, Chicago, US
Parkway Gardens spans multiple buildings between 6330 and 6546 South King Drive, providing two and three-bedroom apartments for low-income families.
The residential complex was constructed between 1950 and 1955 on the former site of White City Amusement Park, designed by architect Henry K. Holsman.
As the first cooperatively owned African-American housing development in the United States, the complex marked a milestone in community development during segregation.
The facility maintains 24-hour security patrols, gated access, on-site maintenance services, and laundry facilities for resident convenience.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama and several rap artists lived in this complex, which is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
