Avondale Mill Village was a section of housing near the Avondale Mills plant in Avondale. It was located between 4th Terrace North and 5th Court Alley North and between 37th and 40th Street North, behind the massive brick mill building.

In 1924 the company gave names to some of the alleys on which houses had been constructed. 4th Court Alley North, then called "4th Alley", south of what later became 5th Avenue North, which is now Messer Airport Highway, was renamed Shady Avenue. 3rd Avenue North was named Broad Avenue, and 2nd Avenue North was called Park Avenue.
