The Village Green, also known as Baldwin Hills Village, 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 the 1930s 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 [Sam Hall Kaplan: LA Lost & Found, New York 1987, p. 109.] .

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2001.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/93000269.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: ] |1.54 MB|date=, 19 |author= |publisher=National Park Service and PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Photos/93000269.pdf Accompanying photos, exterior and interior, from 19 and 19.] |10.0 MB]
