It is also on the [[border]] of [[Woodlawn, Chicago|Woodlawn]] and [[Washington Park, Chicago|Washington Park]]. Chicago's [[Greater Grand Crossing, Chicago|Greater Grand Crossing]], Woodlawn, and Washington Park community areas are in the [[South Side, Chicago|South Side]] of [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]]. The apartments were built from 1950 to 1955 by [[Henry K. Holsman]], who planned many of Chicago's affordable housing developments, and designed the Modern buildings. The apartments were the first to be [[Housing cooperative|cooperatively owned]] by Chicago's [[African-American]] residents, who had a housing shortage during the Second Great Migration due to [[Racial segregation|segregation]]. Early residents included former First Lady [[Michelle Obama]], and more people such as [[Chief Keef]], [[King Von]], and [[Fredo Santana]] have lived here. Many other artists and music producers have come from Parkway Gardens as well. In recent years, however, the apartments have became the center of one of Chicago's most violent blocks. The [[complex]] is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. == History == Parkway Garden
