The original Cheung Sha Wan Estate ({{zh|t=長沙灣邨}}) opened between 1963 and 1964 as the Cheung Sha Wan Government Low Cost Housing Estate ({{zh|t=長沙灣政府廉租屋邨}}). It was renamed following the 1973 establishment of the Housing Authority. All thirteen blocks of this estate were demolished in 2001 as part of the Comprehensive Redevelopment Programme, announced 1995. Most displaced residents were moved to the nearby Fortune Estate.

It is made up of two public rental blocks and an auxiliary facilities block linked to Un Chau Estate by a walkway spanning Cheung Sha Wan Road.{{cite web|title=Cheung Sha Wan Estate, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon West|url=http://www.housingauthority.gov.hk/en/global-elements/estate-locator/detail.html|publisher=Hong Kong Housing Authority|access-date=24 November 2013}}
