      Hi! we are sorry you are having a bad experience! We do offer complimentary pest control that you can register your unit on in the office. Another way to get rid of a pest problem is by keeping a neat and tidy apartment. Also regarding our rents we feel that if our rents were truly terribly high that you wouldnt have moved in to begin. Please let of office staff know if there is anything else we can do to assist you.

    Only thing i don't like about this apartment is the maintenance but that is made up for the fact that is has a pool!
    Review from Apartments.com

  • DO NOT RECOMMEND

    May 18, 2022
    I’ve been loving here for about 2.5 years now. When first moving here it took them months to get a dryer installed (which should’ve been done before moving in). I had to call several times, then my balcony completely fell apart due to weather (completely out of my control). Put in a maintenance request and to this day still have yet to get it fixed. It’s going on a year of me constantly calling, putting in back to back request and even contacting corporate. Nobody cared. Maintenance is horrible. ...
    Orlando, Sierra, Steve and Rena do not care. I’ve waited months for a new dishwasher after putting in multiple request. I couldn’t cook in my kitchen at all. When I went to the front for the final and last time, both maintenance and Orlando told me that the dishwasher that were ordered were put in other units when I have been waiting months for one…. I strongly suggest you look somewhere else. Especially for the price when the only thing that has changed is the color or the building. My hot water stopped working and nothing was done about that. Bottom line if you want anything done be expecting to wait some months. It’s not worth your money, corporate and staff are horrible and rude. If I could give zero stars I would.

  • Do NOT live here

    February 9, 2021
    I lived here for 2 years with my two roommates, during which time the management company and most of the staff changed about 7 months in. In the beginning everything was fine, the staff were nice and helpful and we only had a few issues- one with a neighbor's dog which was handled quickly by the staff and our dishwasher and AC broke which was fixed quickly by maintenance. However with the new management, which is current as of this review, everything went wrong. Our hot water heater had to be ...
    replaced which took about a month, and the office manger let us use a neighboring apartment to shower and everything but literally told me she had no idea when it would be replaced. The ceiling above our AC leaked and it took two maintenance requests and calling the office to get it fixed. Then our AC went out in August(literally had a solid sheet of ice over it) and they put in one window unit in the living room while it thawed for a few days and then they came back and "fixed" it. It was still not working and in total we had no central AC for about two weeks. IN AUGUST. Then our oven broke and had to be fixed, one of our toilets had a leak, and one of our bathtubs has a crack that they said was an issue and then never fixed. But the worst was our sink started leaking water to the point where we had standing water in our kitchen and dining room. We called maintenance out three times for this and each time they supposedly found the problem and fixed it and then a few days later it would leak again. Turns out there were leaks in the pipes in the walls, so our kitchen cabinets and sink had to be taken out and drywall (moldy drywall since the leak had been going on for MONTHS) ripped out. It took over a week and me calling multiple times to get this resolved. The staff and maintenance seem like nice people, but do not do their jobs well. The complex itself is run down and not up kept and has gotten progressively more shady in the two years we've been here. No complex is perfect and maintenance issues happen, but for the price you can get a much nicer apartment somewhere else

    April 3, 2018
    This place is a solid place to live. The maintenance staff and the front desk are very responsive. The apartments are well kept and the property is well maintained. The price is an incredible deal for the location basically right in the middle of Baton Rouge.

  • Great location, affordable rent, pet friendly!

    April 2, 2018
    I moved to Baton Rouge almost 2 years ago and have lived here ever since. These apartments are reasonably priced and in a great location. My boyfriend goes to LSU and I work on Florida Blvd and it's a close enough distance for both of us to have no problems. It's also close to many restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The staff is always very friendly and they not only let you have pets, but actually enjoy interacting with them when you come by the office, which is a major plus. I would definitely ...

    March 31, 2018
    I’ve lived here for a year and love it here compared to many apartments I’ve lived in. The staff is great and any issue I’ve ever had has been fixed or addressed same day. Pet friendly, safe place. The lofts are very spacious and a great price for the size.

It's affordable. I've become awesome friends with the staff. It's become a true home here!! <3 10/10 recommend!!
