Day Village Historic District, also known as Day Village Townhomes, is a historic district located at Dundalk, Baltimore County, Maryland. The district encompasses a garden apartment complex with 72 buildings, including 68 two-story masonry building blocks divided into individual townhouse units. Additional buildings on the site include a brick caretaker’s house (now a stand-alone rental unit), and the two commercial buildings. Opened in 1944, it was one of the first privately developed garden apartment communities for African-American residents with Federal Housing Administration (FHA) funds.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.[1]
