Dunbar Village is a 246-unit public housing community located within the North Tamarind neighborhood of West Palm Beach, Florida.
The community is directly east of North Tamarind Avenue, and borders the neighborhoods of Pleasant City and Northwood Pines.
The community was built from 1939 to 1940 for African Americans,[1] and is alike to Liberty Square and Edison Courts in Miami for its "army barracks" configuration.
According to The Palm Beach Post and Associated Press, up to ten men had gang-raped a thirty-five-year-old woman for three hours and then forced her to perform oral sex on her twelve-year-old son, who was also beaten and doused with household chemicals.
[citation needed] When completed, the redeveloped community will have both mixed-income rentals and renovations to the current, historical housing blocks.
