It’s not as bad as people are saying. I’ve lived here (in Indigo Park) for 3 years now and haven’t had serious issues. I’ve heard of some car break-ins, but nothing I’ve experienced. Gardere is not a good area, but you really don’t experience it living on the Nicholson side. Also that low-income apartment has zero impact on my life so far, though I was worried it would.

As far as the waste treatment facility, probably one day a week to twice a month it bothers you, but nothing severe. Also important to note we live basically off Nicholson, so all the buildings on the Gardere side may have a different experience.

Just like any apartment complex, there are a variety of people, some louder and trashier than others. We looked at nicer places, but ultimately if you can’t afford to do better, it’s just fine. We are moving out in May to get a house, so it’s not a place to stay long-term, I just wouldn’t take advice from folks who haven’t lived there.




Thank you for responding. I will forward this information to her. She needs to live here for a year.

I lived in Nicholson Lakes and had multiple cars in my household be broken into. A sad part of the area. As far as smell went, it was rare but every now and then the wind would carry it out way. Not nearly as often as you imagine. The worst part of Indigo park was the people that would turn left into the entrance past the light, right after the sign that says no turning left.

I’ve lived in Nicholson lakes for 6 years. The smell was bad when the wind blew south. The last 1.5 years i haven’t smelled anything at all.
