A stunning building, and an absolutely wonderful place to live…read more The building is covered in ivy, and perfectly located in the garden district on the Mardi Gras parade route. The 91 bus and street car come right past it, and it is a very residential feeling part of St. Charles despite only being a few blocks from restaurants, hotels, and bars. The staff are incredibly friendly, and seem to know everyone by their first name. Maintenance requests are fulfilled very quickly, and the staff are very knowledgeable about any questions I have ever had. The two bedrooms are the best value, but the one bedrooms that I have seen seem just as large. The studios are quite intimate, so make sure to see a few rooms first, if possible. There is a gym, pool, laundry on each floor, and parking on site. The biggest downside is the lack of kitchen counter space, but other than that, I wouldn't change a thing!

I show up the next morning in time for my tour and the leasing office is not even open. No leasing agent is there. I called multiple times, texted, and emailed. No response. Even asked a resident, who told me the office should be open. I waited 20 min and still no one came in that time to open the office or respond, so I left. They called me later that afternoon and implied I missed my appointment. I explained I showed up on time and waited. They said they must've missed me while they were walking around the property. This office is not responsible or professional.

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.

I expected more after moving in and didn't expect the emails telling me all the things I can't do, when they said I could when I moved in. They even closed off an entrance to residents that was huge help, with having to park on the street the laoding dock really helped in getting us to our unit so we didn't have to walk around the building. For no reason the shut it off (just sent out a email yelling at us again). Why would you do that to your residents? When your management company send out emails like this, it's time to move..I'm not a kid. Why are you yelling at me? NOTICE: What NOT to flush!

Grocery store, restaurants, bars, WW2 museum, and the Super Dome are all in walking distance. Too many amenities to list them all.

HOWEVER, after months of contacting them about needing the lease rates for when my lease ran out in April so that I could determine the length I wanted to sign, I finally received an EMAIL not a letter on the door or a phone call on MARCH 24TH. I responded on April 4th that I wanted to do a 5 month lease only to be told that my lease had been auto renewed on the 31st for 12 months and that there was nothing I could do but pay an extra month rent to break the lease. Mind you I was NEVER told that I had to respond by the 31st of March by ANYONE ANY of the MULTIPLE times I contacted the manager. Rachel in the office was rude and laughed at me when I asked why she didn't give me a call after sending the lease rates since we had been communicating. I then tried to get in contact for THREE WEEKS with the regional VP Randy L'Hoste just to be told that it was "in my lease" and that one week was plenty of time to make the decision. Despite the fact I was the one who had been proactive about this the WHOLE time, it's somehow my fault they took forever to give me the info I needed and then didn't tell me it was due in a WEEK. Be very wary of this place. They are scammers and grifters who will try to pull a fast one on loyal, model tenants who have been there for years.

‼ DO NOT MOVE HERE ‼ WORTH READING BEFORE LEASING‼…read more This has been the worst living experience! I've been a resident at Lost Bayou since April 2021, and have had issues with my apartment from the very beginning. They started small in comparison; not cleaned before move in, broken dishwasher, trouble opening front door. Then grew; lease renewed without notice, hot water stopped working, bathroom door stopped closing, etc. But this last issue was the LAST straw! I've been forced out of my apartment since November 20th, 2022, due to a leak in the bathroom. I called the number they have attached to Google, and was redirected at least 4 times before finally reaching their emergency operator. She told me she would contact maintenance and give me an update, which I never received. When I went back to check the apartment the following day (Nov 21st) nothing had been fixed. I went straight to Lost Bayou's leasing office and spoke with Ms. Jeannie ( who was there from Frenchman's Creek Apartments ) and informed her of what was going on. I also expressed my concerns about not feeling safe to stay in the apartment, but was told it was still inhabitable since the ceiling hadn't fallen yet. Despite the vent leaking over the toilet, soaking wet floor, stench, not knowing if/when the ceiling would fall, and water spots also appearing in the bedroom. I reiterated that I did not feel safe or comfortable staying in the apartment, and would continue staying with a family member until repairs were complete. Ms. Jeannie told me that she would have roofers assess & repair the roof, followed by sheetrock repair, and give me an update. I received a voicemail from Ms. Vicky on November 23rd, right before closing, claiming that the roof had been repaired and the sheetrock was scheduled to be repaired the following Monday (Nov. 28th). The office was closed by the time I received the voicemail and on Thanksgiving. I called back on Nov. 25th for an update and to see if the sheetrock could be rescheduled to an earlier date. No answer. I called again Nov. 26th, still no answer. That night, after work, I stopped to check the apartment myself. Not only had there not been any repairs, the ceiling had now caved in/fallen and the floor was still drenched in water! I contacted the emergency operator the following morning, and was told that maintenance would be sent. When I arrived back to my apartment on the 28th for an update, once again nothing had been repaired. I went to the office to speak to someone but no one was there. A nearby employee directed me to Frenchmen's Creek, where I spoke with Ms. Jeannie. I told her how the damage had worsened since we first spoke on the 21st, and there seemed to be no urgency or compassion towards my situation. At this point I had been out of my apartment for a week, with no estimate of when I'd be able to return, and rent was due in 3days. I was never offered prorated rent, or any other accommodation(s). When I requested to be moved to another apartment, she said she would reach out to her regional manager and give me an update (never received). When I called Lost Bayou the following morning (Nov. 29th 10:02am) for an update, Ms. Vicky answered. She was not aware of anything Ms. Jeannie and I discussed, but said she would reach out to her and let me know what the regional manager had decided. She also said that roofers would be sent out again and she'd call me with an update (never received). When I arrived to the office that evening (4:35pm) for an update, the roofers had just been sent & Ms. Vicky was just then sending someone inside the apartment to pick up the debris that had been left for days. Her excuse was their lack of personnel. When asked what Ms. Jeannie said about me being moved to another apartment, she said that she hadn't spoken with her. I expressed my concerns again about having to pay rent for an uninhabitable apartment; due to not being able to use the toilet, shower, or tub. I was told that it was my choice not to stay there, and I could take the option to not pay rent & face a judge. At this point, my only option was early lease termination. Which meant I'd be paying the end of November, December, and January's rent ($2,138+) for an apartment I couldn't even live in! Of course the "accommodations" came once I turned in my early termination notice (Nov. 30th) and began packing my apartment. The ceiling was FINALLY removed on December 2nd. On December 5th, I was called to tour another apartment; which was unfinished and drenched in cigarette stench & God knows what else. I haven't heard anything from management since then and the bathroom hasn't been touched since the 2nd; I'm glad I got out of this hell hole when I did. It's unfortunate that I had to pay for management's negligence and incompetence, currently seeking representation, but hopefully by reading this you will not go through the same!

So to start this place wasn't so bad when Jessica was in the office she would get everything done quickly and professionally, whoever is in the office now is terrible and incompetent!!! We've called MULTIPLE times about roaches and gnats and they STILL haven't done anything!!! Also there were RATS here as well a few months back, this apartment is truly disgusting and outdated, they also went up on the rent at the beginning of covid for these shitty apartments, we had plans to move once our lease was up but unfortunately with the pandemic that didn't end up happening so now we're stuck here until the lease is up next year and it's miserable. ALSO our toilet wasn't flushing and we again called multiple times and the lady in the office literally told us it was a city problem so we suffered with this issue for over a month and called again to get any update on the city plumbing issue and she FINALLY sent a plumber out and he fixed the issue is less than 10 minutes so why did she never send a plumber to begin with???? this lady in the office lied to us and made us have toilet that barely flushed for over a month...there's also a rehab center on Wabash street and sketchy people are always hanging around and throwing trash and their plate lunches everywhere, maybe that's why there's so many's BUGS AND RATS!!

Very quiet and the management is fast to take care of any concerns or problems we might have. I highly recommend renting here. Pet friendly and kid friendly. The location is great because you are not far from great shopping and great restaurants. Oh and they have recently started to do fun events like food trucks and farmers markets on site!!! Love it here!! They have also made a lot of updates to the grounds.

There are people who tend to the greenery and maintain the greenery to look nice. Cons: All equipment in the apartment is old, this includes AC, washing machine, dryer and kitchen stove. When it gets to 90F and above the AC cannot keep up and your room temp will be in the high 80s.They recommend your thermostat be set between 75 to 78, which is just ridiculous in Louisiana. Your AC bill gets extremely high during the summer as the AC is old and inefficient. Every month you have to go to management to get a filter for your AC. There is a gate, but it works 3 months out of the year. Finally, there is a problem with crows cawing right outside your window between 5am-7am. It is LOUD enough to wake you up every morning. To quote their response "Unfortunately, we do not have bird deterrents, and we do not offer such measures as part of our building management services. That said, we encourage you to explore temporary, non-invasive solutions that may help minimize the noise within your unit." Therefore, if you don't enjoy having your sleep disrupted in the early hours of 5am-7am I do not recommend staying here. Apart from the 2 treadmills, the equipment in the gym is all extremely old or broken. There is no AC in the gym. When you walk in you can immediately feel the air is stagnant there is NO air circulation. Extremely disappointing as we are paying more because of their gym but the gym is awful.
