I lived there from 1980-1983 and loved it. It was fine back then. Earl Gros Avenue.
The two big hangouts were Fred’s and Zachary’s across the street.

Savings and Loan crisis. Lots of properties were sold for a song and they went Sec 8. The surrounding apartments and 4 plexes slowly died and went Sec 8 as well.
what's known as Mall City and the Gardere Area were originally young professionals and students...all when down hill as new units were built where they could move into a nice new place for what they were paying at the older places so the owners went section 8....that's what happens when administrations approve permits for new units thinking it will increase the tax base...

Everyone I talked to said Katrina when so many people moved up here really was the downfall

It was pretty shitty by 2003/2004. It wasn't totally ghetto yet, but the trajectory was very obvious by then.

It extends beyond college. I knew multiple mid - late 20s girls with solid post grad jobs and their parents were still paying luxury apartment rent in Houston. Also had a boss that was doing this for multiple mid 20s children and unsurprisingly hounded everyone for daily billing.

This is insane to me. When I drive through LSU and see BMW's, Mercedes and Porsches parked next to $85,000 Z-71's my mind is blown.
And a shite load of them are with out of state plates. Not just Texas, either.
Maryland
New Jersey
Indiana
Illinois
Kind of weird to me.

At the time, again almost half a century ago, it was perceived as a top off campus living area. It appears it is not anywhere near that now.
No, no it wasn’t
