Congresswoman Diane Watson recognized West Angeles CDC for our efforts in transforming the West Angeles Parklane Apartments located in the infamous "jungle" of South Los Angeles, which is more commonly referred to as Baldwin Village. Today, the apartments are no longer known to be the access point to "crack alley" in reference to a public alleyway behind the property formerly used profusely by "pushers and addicts".

West Angeles Parklane features one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. In addition to a complete building retrofitting, redevelopment efforts included increasing unit square footage as well as the number of three bedroom units. Other amenities added to Parklane include: a computer facility, youth recreational space, barbeque pits, a clubhouse that includes a modern kitchenette, a television, and a DVD player.
