The Cypress Village housing projects are a series of housing complexes stretching from 10th Street to 14th Street and Kirkham Way in the Lower Bottoms are of West Oakland. Cypress Village is one of the three housing projects in West Oakland, along with the Campbell Village Court and the Acorn Projects.
Cypress Village was built by the Oakland Housing Authority after World War II, when many African-Americans began to migrate to Oakland. It was one of four all-black segregated projects built at the time. Cypress Village is the home of rapper J Stalin of the Livewire gang.
