Ok, so the last couple of reviews on Louisiana Oaks are from a couple years ago and completely…read moreoutdated. I was honestly shocked when I read them. I just moved in to Louisiana Oaks at the beginning of this month and I am loving every little bit of it! First of all, there must have been a lot of changes in the management office since the last two reviews because the gals in there are great. Either that, or the last two reviewers never took the time to stop by and actually talk with the management staff. They are incredibly helpful and fun to deal with. They really worked with me to help me find an apartment here that both fit my lifestyle as well as my wallet. They even put on resident events to help build a community feel here and invite residents to stop in the office every Saturday morning for complimentary coffee and pastries! What other apartment buildings do that? The building itself is beautiful. I feel like I live in a really nice hotel...and I love that! There is a winding staircase and awesome fountain by the main entrance. There is a fantastic fitness center where you never have to wait in line for any of the machines or weights. That right there saves you a least $50 bucks a month on a gym membership, right in the convenience of your own apartment building. Each apartment is given an underground heated garage parking space. Um...helloooo...We live in Minnesota. You know how bad the winters suck here. And there is also a large outdoor parking lot for all the residents without a garage spot. In your face off-street parking! Louisiana Oaks has a great clubhouse that can be rented out by tenants for parties and events. There is a large back patio on the building with two nice gas grills for residents to use whenever they want along with patio furniture and lawn chairs for soaking up some rays in the summer months. There's even a hot tube, sauna, tanning bed, and vending machines! So awesome and everything has been kept up really nicely. Another great feature the building has is the business center. There are two computers that both have internet access and one printer that anyone can use. All you have to do is supply your own printer paper and the apartment building takes care of the rest. So if you didn't want to pay for internet every month, you don't have too! I could go on and on about how many great amenities this building has, but one of the absolute best things about Louisiana Oaks is the location. Located right in St. Louis Park, you have about a 30 second drive to a Cub Foods grocery store, a one-minute drive to the Knollwood Mall, a two-minute drive to a Super Target and plenty of other shops. Not to mention it's only a 5 minute drive to Lake Calhoun, and about 10 minutes or less to Uptown. Right across the street is the Park Tavern (a really fun bowling and event center), soccer fields, and tons of walking and biking trails. It's super easy to find or give directions to...even my directionally challenged mother could find this place with ease. So, I'm sorry to hear that the other two reviewers didn't have a great experience here, because this place is great. And as far as dealing with crazy college students or rude residents...I'm sorry, but couldn't that happen anywhere other than a senior citizen community? This place rocks and is definitely worth making a visit to.

I must chare how pleased I am with the management services here at Louisiana Oaks Apartments.Having…read morelived for nearly a decade I have to say that Sidal taking on this building a fw years ago wa a blessing.
