One of my good friends lives at the Crescent Club Apartments, so I've had an opportunity to spend a…read moregood bit of time here (not to mention a few nights on the couch...) As far as these sort of apartment buildings go, it's pretty nice -- the hallways are large and carpeted, the garage is convenient if you're bringing in groceries in the pouring rain (and, well, I'm sure it's great to have parking in general), and the pool in the center of the complex is gorgeous and probably underutilized by the people who live there. (That seems to be the case with most apartment complex pools, in my experience.) Not sure how this development compares price-wise to similar buildings (American Can, Cotton Mill, and The Esplanade come to mind), but the apartments themselves are quite nice and well laid out for roommates. They're carpeted, have great kitchens, a tiny balcony, and the two bedroom/two bathroom unit that I've seen is definitely somewhere I'd live if not for all the old, funky, charming houses in New Orleans that have prevented me from ever bothering to look at an apartment/condo lifestyle. (I love hardwood floors, huge, heavy windows that are painted shut, porches, balconies and the random old fashioned things you'll find like the laundry closets, transoms, and terrifying gas heaters that actually work but look dangerous and have to be lit with a match.) The only reason I'm giving this place three stars instead of four is because of the location. I'm sorry, but I really don't think I'd want to live THAT close to OPP. Case in point: last time I was visiting my friends, we (gasp!) ran out of beer and so two of us set out in search of a convenience store for more drinks. There were plenty of options within walking distance, but the one to the right had a crowd of people kind of loitering outside it (this is midnight-ish, by the way), and neither of us really wanted to brave the crowd to get inside so we did a 180 and headed toward the gas station to the left. On our way, we passed a few people walking their dogs or whatever, and there was a guy speedwalking in our direction who actually freaked me out a little because he seemed really fidgety, anxious, just gave off a weird vibe. For the record, I've lived in some seriously questionable neighborhoods (at one house, on Louisiana Avenue Parkway, we couldn't even get pizza delivered; no one would do it b/c the street had such a bad reputation), and am not easily freaked out by people on the street. Generally, I find people to be pretty awesome, no matter what part of town you're in. The fact that this guy made me nervous was kind of a big deal, because this rarely, rarely happens. (I'm tempted to stop here and see if anyone notices, because I'm getting tired of writing this unnecessarily long review, but it's actually kind of a funny story.)

I've lived here for more than three years, since a few months after the building opened, and it's…read moregenerally a pretty nice place to live. Despite what you hear on the voicemail greeting, these apartments are in lower Mid-City near Tulane and Broad, not "in the heart of downtown New Orleans." (That's for you, students from out of town looking for a place close to Tulane or LSU med schools.) Some things that drew me to this building were the beautiful pool area and outside grounds, which are kept up pretty well. Most maintenance issues are resolved quickly, although the building is beginning to show some wear and tear, especially in common areas. The parking gates are rarely all in working order, which can be frustrating, but the free covered parking is a great amenity. On the other hand, management has been taking visible steps to keep the outside areas cleaner and better maintained, so that's a plus. I should also add that the ladies who work in the office are very friendly and will go to lengths to ensure that residents are happy here. The building employs a security guard on the premises, which has been helpful more than once thanks to inconsiderate neighbors I've had over time. Most of the people who live here are very friendly and polite, although there's a sizable population of students and families with little kids who are less concerned with keeping the peace and keeping hallways and elevators clean. It's also not openly advertised, but this building is mixed-income (it was built with funding from tax credits), which seems to upset commenters on other websites who are unhappy paying market rate for an apartment while a neighbor might pay a reduced rate. Personally, I don't really care, since an overwhelming majority of my neighbors and former neighbors have been friendly and respectful of common areas. The apartments themselves are nice and modern, although they fall short of the "luxury" category (mostly carpeted, basic counter tops, basic appliances). I have my own washer and dryer in my unit, as well as a walk-in closet, which is fantastic. Best of all, my electricity bill is very low (under $50/mo year-round) thanks to the construction of the building (can't say the same about the walls keeping sounds out, though!). If you're looking for an apartment that's a short commute to the CBD and is VERY pet-friendly, I'd recommend looking here. Although a 1-bedroom can be a little steep (over $1,000/mo), a 2-bedroom would be a deal for roommates. I believe the prices are comparable to similar places in Mid-City like American Can.

While this is a residential apartment building, the Sonder hotel group has a few units out in the courtyard area that they rent out to travelers. This was my first experience with a Sonder property, but it won't be my last. The rooms were spacious and the apartment as a whole had all of the necessary amenities to give you that "home away from home" feel. Since this isn't a traditional hotel, you don't have staff at a front desk or daily room cleaning, but you can absolutely reach out to someone if you need to and also coordinate a mid-stay cleaning. Sonder has also done a fabulous job in terms of picking the location. This particular cluster of apartments is one block away from a great cafe (Stumptown), two blocks from a drugstore (CVS) and grocery (Rouses), four blocks from a car rental (Enterprise on Baronne), and a few blocks on all directions from tons of great bars and restaurants (Seaworthy, Josephine Estelle, Willa Jean, etc.). It's also either an $8 Uber/Lyft ride away from the French Quarter or a nice 15-20 minute walk. The cherry on top? The apartment we chose was ONE block away from part of the Krewe of Cleopatra's parade route on Girod and St. Charles and we snagged front row access. Highly recommended!

There have been some kinks in getting things off the ground initially, but maintenance responds lightening fast and it wasn't anything major. The style of the building is cool, and I want to say there's some 1920s touches to it? Oh, and the apartment ceiling are huge. My apartment is pretty small, but it still seems spacious. The appliances are top notch (and new!), and the building materials are really solid. I can't describe this very well but there's no fake or cheap stuff in this building. The best part of this place is the location! I cannot believe how convenient this is. The grocery store is GREAT and only 100 ft. away. There's a pedicure/blowout spa across the street, coffee shop 2 blocks away, and a yoga studio 4 blocks away. Yes I go to all these places and probably should yelp review them too. When I have friends in town I presume I will take them on the trolley over to Bourbon which is far enough away that the crazy party people aren't around, but close enough to consider this a good location for tourism if you wanted. There's tons of high end restaurants within walking distance (WALKING DISTANCE! In the south!) I haven't tried them yet because I'm on a diet. Lol. Anyways, great renting process, great community, and a great location. Thumbs up from me.

They call it a luxury apartment building, but you have to hang your clothes to dry as if this were 19th- century tenement housing because the dryers just don't dry (I hear it's worse in the 1bdr units that have an all-in-one washer and dryer). The pool deck is warped with exposed rusty screws. The package room is always a mess and management does not investigate missing packages (except for one old white lady who gets preferential treatment and her own designated shelf). Rules are arbitrarily enforced with exceptions made for some tenants that negatively affect the quality of life for most residents. There is insufficient ADA parking and no enforcement of violations which leave actual disabled residents with no access to ADA parking. The windows leak and cracked walls have been a constant issue since Hurricane Ida, but instead of repairing the damage they provide us with sawdust filled bolsters to absorb the water during heavy rains and they completely ignore the growing cracks in the walls and ceiling. Anyone competent and friendly hired to work the front desk doesn't last long and I assume that's due to the toxicity of management. Avoid all properties managed by BGPM.

I toured a one bed and it was a pretty decent size, most newer apartments have typically the same floor plan I've noticed. This complex is located right off of N.

It is not about the living conditions or Apartment itself. We haven't lived here long enough. I hate doing reviews but sometimes you get exceptional service and they need to be rewarded. We shopped at over 7 Apartment complexes and it was just one disappointment after another. Just a soul sucking process with limited time. The worst was the service of the salespeople. Most of those places acted like a DMV line just pumping out income questions like you were moving in next day. Lady, I just asked for a 10 minute tour. I don't need a 30 minute life background check just to look at mediocre living arrangements. It was such a turn off. My decision is based 65% on price. The other 35% is based on the Office salesperson because I will be dealing with you for years to come. I'll see you more than my own family. If you're rude or coming off as condescending or insincere, I'll walk away. You shouldn't even intensely screen me before the tour like that. Take the ID and let's go. One girl at another place made us feel like hobo's who could never afford to live there. I believe I knew my price range before just showing up to play house. Anyways, back to this amazing customer service that helped my decision to sign the lease here. The person that helped us and gave the tour was Nick Scott @ White Water Creek. He came off as sincere and up front. He didn't ask us a million questions and since we've been to over 7 Apartment complexes it was getting monotonous with the same old "Are you suuurrree you can live here?," speel. He got straight to the point. Showed us the Apt. No up selling and fake pleasantries. He told us what we would and wouldn't get. It felt genuine and real. Then during the paperwork part of it. He was very patient and helpful. He understood our fears and knew how nerve wrecking the waiting can be so he called and kept us informed. The entire process was very friendly and helpful. Nick made us very comfortable and everything seemed to fall into place. This was where we wanted to make our Home. His other office mate, a pretty female, sorry I didn't catch her name, was also very sweet and professional. I feel I would have no hassle doing business here and welcome the opportunity. Thank you, Nick. We appreciate your help and the help of your Office.

Don't rent your home here‼ I reported a serious issue involving Mike who made me feel unsafe, uncomfortable, and threatened.

Brittney Roberts vice president failed to handle the situation properly the first time. I gave a clear warning that this person made me feel unsafe, yet no protective measures were taken, and no accountability was enforced. It shows the lack of adequate leadership. Reconsider else where to rent‼ As a result of this neglect, the same employee was allowed to provoke and intimidate me again, creating a hostile and dangerous living environment! When I followed up, Roberts told me I wasn't even allowed in the front office, (but pay rent) yet the person I had concerns about could still allowed to enter my unit if emergency. Like that wouldn't be one, alright. Don't rent your home here‼ This is unacceptable. A Vice President should be responsible for ensuring residents feel safe and heard--not ignored. While having the knowledge to take care of basic situations. Brittney Roberts had the opportunity and authority to resolve this before it escalated further, and she failed terribly‼ Don't rent your home here‼ If you're considering renting from 1st Lake Properties, think carefully about how seriously they treat your safety--because in my case, it was disregarded completely by Roberts!
