Two days after I moved in a maintenance person barged into my bedroom with zero notice. No call, no…read moretext, no email, no active maintenance order on their portal. 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.

Ensure you right everything that you can on your move in list and dont forget to get a signed copy from them also email them pictures of the carpet and any stains or they will charge you for pet stains that were already there. ensure to get a confirmed email of the pictures and any communication with them should be in writing. They are very quick to forget and cover themselves from any wrong doing.

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.

Every time, when I am in the office, I saw him treating people with smiling and courtesy, even though when people come with a bad attitude. In addition, I want to mention that every time when I send him an email for any maintenance request, he replies immediately and I will have the service the next day. My rental renewal will be next month and I decided to stay because I have Antonio as my contact with this complex. Also, I want to add one more staff to my review: Troy. Troy is an outstanding employee. In my opinion, he needs a raise. He works hard and quick. I had a lot of issues in the kitchen, dishwasher... etc and he came and took care of it quickly with efficiency. I really appreciated what Antonio and Troy have done. OUTSTANDING!!

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.

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.

I only toured this apartment complex, never lived here. 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.
