I moved in on Feb 2024. I had looked at 3 apartment complexes in person and a bunch online. I…read morefell in love with the 2 bedroom, 2 bath model called the Live Oak At Brookstone Park Apartments. It has a walk in shower in the master bedroom, rooms are a nice size. The front bedroom is a little larger but has a bathroom with a tub. The kitchen is beautiful. It has an open area so it doesn't feel closed in. I loved the set up. Lots of counter space and there is room for a few counter highth bar stools. The pantry is small so I also use the linen closet(in hall area) as a pantry. There is a hall closet and a nice size laundry room. You can put a rack or small table in there. There are two large walk in closets in both bedrooms. It has a nice size patio with a small storage closet. The complex is very nice. There is a workout room, a room where you can sit and relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. There is a lobby that you can also sit and enjoy the fireplace during cold weather. There is a nice size pool. There is a barbecue area off of the pool. The residents are very nice. There are many senior and younger people living here. They have about 10 buildings with some having garages on the first floor. There are also garages throughout the property that you can rent. There are two sizes, large and regular with enough space for one vehicle and storage. It is located close to Hwy 21 and north of I-12. The office staff is wonderful and they have a great maintenance crew that takes care of all your needs. There are lots of restaurants, a Winn Dixie, Walgreens, CVS, gas stations, an Ochsner complex, and other businesses on Hwy 21. It is worth checking it out if you are looking for an apartment.

He knocked on my bedroom door, and immediately entered before I could reach it to answer. I was nude in the center of my bedroom trying to reach the door. He said he would "come back later", when I demanded to know who he was he said he was a maintenance guy and he was there to change the window screens. When I asked why there was no notice given he laughed and said "We don't need to give notice." Don't sign a lease here. There's no expectation of privacy. You won't feel comfortable getting dressed in your own bedroom.

I have lived here for 3 years now and when I read the reviews I honestly was scared. Andrea assured…read moreme the fixed most of the issues and I think the last time I heard the fire alarm go off was a month after I moved in 3 years ago and maybe on the occasional test. My issues have been with tenants who don't clean up after their animals especially when they are next to the free provided bags and bin or the others whose dog stops and pees in the hallways and not reprimand, no concern just walks off like nothing happened. The greater concern is the tenants who don't give a f*+k about the place they live in like someone else is supposed to clean up after your ass. Staff is super and responsive! At 8 years old there is some maintenance to carpets in hallways as people drag their leaking trash bags down the hall SMH. The only other issue I have is rent seems to go up with each new lease and I understand that with inflation but inflation is holding now and rent is still going up... this might cause me to look elsewhere will have to see what next lease brings.

This is by far the worst apartment complex I have ever lived in. The level of service and…read moremaintenance is unacceptable. The property is poorly maintained, with trash frequently left around the premises and dog waste scattered throughout the community. After being a resident for seven years, I was unexpectedly charged $3,500 for carpet replacement, which I believe is excessive and unreasonable. To make matters worse, when I spoke with Felicia to discuss the matter, I was met with a rude and unprofessional attitude rather than assistance or understanding. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this apartment complex to anyone. If you are considering moving here, I strongly advise looking elsewhere for a community that values its residents and provides better customer service and property maintenance.

Renters Beware! You will be charged an outrageous amount for water. They base your water bill on…read morethe total bill for the entire complex. My water bill for a 2 bedroom apartment ranged from $200-$140 per month. We didn't even live in the apartment for the last month of our lease but still had to pay a ridiculous amount for water along with a whole bunch of bogus "move out fees", despite leaving the apartment completely clean. Also, they've never cleaned the ductwork in the apartments so there was black on the ceiling where all the registers are. When the motor on the furnace had to be replaced, the HVAC technician confirmed that the ducts were filthy and had never been cleaned. So my family and I were breathing in mold and filth for an entire year! There are much better places than this to live. The Manager will try to fool you by telling you that she has the best rental prices around but by the time you add in all the additional fees, along with the communal water bill, you could get a much nicer house or apartment for your money. If you do decide to rent here, make sure they show you your actual apartment because the model that they take everyone through is way nicer than any of the units for rent.

When we moved in, the carpets were so dirty that it turned your feet black when you stepped on them, they were also matted down. They repainted within the last 6 months and yet it's full of termite webs and wasp nests, they don't do any cleaning in the apartment buildings even though they charge you a common area fee (and the common gym is always bare bones). They also never call you back if you call the office and leave a message. I truly would never sign a lease with them again.

But the main reason I will not live here is…read morebecause every single unit we viewed had carpet along with a carpet smell in the apartments... it smelled like dirty musty towels in the units... I hate carpet bc it always stinks. Also, a big closet was a must for me and the apartments we saw did not have large enough closets. Each apartment comes with washer/dryer, fridge, dishwasher, and (some) came with microwaves. The ladies in the front office are sweethearts and we're very welcoming. They were very informative about everything. The gate to this complex is unlocked and open during office hours.. they do electricity through Cleco and internet through Charter or AT&T. Located on a service road right by the causeway entrance.. 3 red lights away from the causeway, so a good location to commute to NOLA.
