I lived at the end of Bayou Fountain (the section that backs up to Governor) as a student in the late 80s. It was utopia. Not so much today
Its acutally worse in person
I honestly hope she is at least at the other end away from Gardere

It's actually undergone an expansion in recent years.
And by expansion, I mean it's now called Bayou Blood Fountain.

In/by the meadow bend neighborhood is fine and safe because there’s plenty of new neighborhoods next to it that have kept it safe, but do not go south across Starring or west across Burbank though.

I lived there in 1987. Was almost brand new then. I remember thinking I was way the frick out and way too far from campus.

We rented one of those apartments about 32 years ago for a couple of college kids and another relative down on his luck and I stayed with them some of the time.
While it was sort of run down, we didn't experience any bad moments other than a cold arse winter there in '94.
What I remember most, was Jackie Kennedy's death just as we were packing up to move.

It’s quite back there. Does she have any kids? She’s right by Traction, that’s travelball central in BR.

It's definitely not great. Pretty rough area surrounded by decent areas.

Bayou Fountain is a great place to surround yourself with everything that will make you fall back into your past life.

I lived there in the early 00’s and was very close to being one of those statistics in those murders. It seems that it was some sort of proving ground for the “teens” that live off Gardere. Pretty much the exact situations that were in those examples happened to me. Still freaks me out to this day of what could have happened.
It’s sad, because the area wasn’t so bad when I moved there and before that.
To the OP, I would look elsewhere. Things are only getting worse there.
