Nickerson Gardens

Nickerson Gardens is a housing development in Watts, Los Angeles, made up of numerous buildings containing apartments built in townhouse style. The units have large windows and open floor plans that provide ample light and space.

The complex opened in 1954 and features design elements inspired by California architecture. The construction method with stucco details and flat roofs was contemporary for the area at that time.

The complex is named after a businessman who dedicated himself to community development. This naming reflects the importance this place holds for those who live here.

The location is easy to reach and has well-maintained pathways for visitors and residents. On-site management provides various services that support daily life.

In 2023, a new playground with climbing nets and a carousel was opened, funded by a well-known musician. This donation shows how the community receives support from people outside its boundaries.
