Trump Village, Residential complex in Coney Island, US
Trump Village is a residential complex of seven buildings with red brick facades situated along Neptune Avenue in Brooklyn's southern waterfront district. It comprises five cooperative buildings and two rental structures providing different housing options for residents.
Fred Trump developed this residential complex in 1963, investing 70 million dollars to construct housing for middle-income families in Brooklyn. The project marked a turning point in the city's housing development during that era.
The buildings house residents from various backgrounds under the Mitchell-Lama Housing Program, fostering a multicultural residential community in south Brooklyn. This diversity continues to shape daily life within the complex.
The complex consists of separate buildings that are easy to explore on foot and accessible by public transportation. Visitors should note that some areas are private, and only the exterior areas are freely accessible.
This is the only property bearing the Trump name that was named by Fred Trump rather than his son Donald. The name came directly from Fred Trump's decision and not from later marketing considerations.
