Olympic Village

[1] After the Games are over, the Olympic Village is typically sold or rented to the local population and turned into a new residential zone for the host city.

Some athletes stayed in hotels or hostels, others in schools or barracks, and some even slept in the boats they had taken to the host city.

"[3] As result, the organizers built wooden huts and established an accommodation centre near the Stade Olympique de Colombes called the "Olympic Village," allowing the various world teams to stay in the same location, under the same conditions, and with common services.

[3] The accommodation provided for the 1932 Summer Games in Los Angeles is considered to be the first official modern Olympic Village, with a capacity of 2,000 people and located to the west of the city.

[1][3] Consisting of a group of buildings with rooms to lodge athletes (men only), as well as providing a place to eat and train, it serves as the model for today's Olympic Villages.
