I had a friend who worked as a property manager for 1st lake who told me that the less deposits back the bigger the bonus for the property manager at the end of the year so they will do everything in their power to keep it. This is factual information I was told directly from someone who works there. They tried to pull one over on me claiming that there are stains in the carpet and they have to replace it, so they are taking my entire deposit. I will be fighting this in small claims court. They don't know how I am and who I know. I am in grad school for this stuff infact. Another very creepy and unsettling note was, I lived at Magnolia Creeks in Harahan and AT LEAST. 3 times had the maintenance guy "accidentally come into my apartment, once while I was half naked. Literally not just knocked on the door, this guy had keys in my door, coming in.. How do I know it was no coincidence? This is a huge property, if you know anything about the creeks, it's massive. I had a best friend there, and I asked a few neighbors if this had ever happened to them and they said no. This guy is the ultimate creepster. Always saying he made a mistake in coming to my apartment, On the third floor... seemed very weird to me. One time he even goes "oh I'm sorry baby, I came to the wrong place." Yeah, no crap. This is the third time you did this.. I kept reporting it to the management and they would apologize. Stay away from the creeks if you are a young female living alone!!!!!

FANTASTIC place to live. I moved here and only planned on staying about a year or so, and just…read moremoved out after getting married and ended my almost-eight year stay at the Arts. Danielle and Kiana and their entire staff are awesome. Property is always clean, pool is great, and it's close enough to everything in Metairie (food, shopping, entertainment) but still quiet and out of the way of the hustle and bustle. Also only about a 10 minute drive to downtown New Orleans. My apt. was a one bedroom but VERY spacious, and included both a utility closet with a washer and dryer as well as a really large walk-in closet. The bedroom was the perfect size for a queen size bedroom set (a king would also fit!), and the bathroom was also more than big enough and also had a closet. I have no words to express how amazing the place is. If you are looking for an apartment in which to stay either temporarily or permanently, DO NOT make the mistake of just going with the "big name" apartment companies without stopping here.

Started from a Craigslist Ad now I'm here! Well, I just moved out actually after a 6 year stay at…read moreThe Arts. I was apartment hunting and scoured the internet and every apartment hunting site and app to try to find the perfect apartment. I couldn't find a place that felt like a good fit. Then one day while searching on Craigslist, I saw a listing for an apartment that was very affordable and seemed to be almost too good to be true - it was the stuff scams are made of... BUT when I actually went to view the property it was better than expected. Although I ended up moving into a different unit than the one I saw the ad for, I was very pleased with my experience. I always felt safe. The staff was very attentive (at the time it was Danielle and Ebony if I'm remembering correctly, but later was Danielle and Keina). Any maintenance issues I had were handled quickly and efficiently. I loved all of the resident appreciation events even though I couldn't make most of them. Also it was very quiet. I saw many neighbors come and go, but they all were good people despite their walk of life. I honestly could have stayed at the Arts forever, but working in the film industry, the dual strikes made my place a bit harder to afford. Also due to work I'd spent the previous year away from home anyway so a move was inevitable, but overall, I HIGHLY recommend. I've had a few apartments before, but The Arts was by far my best renting experience to date. If I ever move back to Louisiana, they will be my first stop!

‼ 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!!

Bellawood has dozens of apartments vacant listed online for weeks. I was initially rushed to apply under the soft threat of "they may be gone if you wait!You should apply ASAP" Standard sales tactic. I watched the price plummet $50+ dollars in the weeks each unit stay unrented. Then when I went to apply for 9/2 move in date it was arbitrarily changed to 10/3 move in. When I asked Leslie why it was moved I got a bright shiny "Well, I don't know!" she deals in syrupy faux polite "I don't know"s. When I spoke to the manager Sydney about this, she explained it calmly and logically offering a closing comment of "there's no way Leslie would have known why" So, leasing agents don't have proper information to give to prospective tenants? WHY? Ridiculously juvenile antics and word salads from half baked brains. Total Confusion, chaos and mismanagement when there are tons of other properties in the area. All of the women there are surface southern "nice" but social politeness doesn't supersede intelligence and professionalism. I contacted Tonti Properties and filed a complaint against Bella Wood. To add more confusion, Tonti Properties is different than the corporate entity Tonti, which owns a large amount of SE Louisiana apartment complexes. Additionally, there is another business name that appears when applying after being debited for app fee: Creekwood Elmwood, LLC. So it's a bunch of scam companies triangulating their schemes with haphazard, sloppy tactics. Seems like a scam. Happy to be looking elsewhere and away from this nightmare of stupidity. I can't imagine having to deal with these type of people on a regular basis in a place you want to call home! These apartments will stay unrented. Enjoy Hurricane Season!

The people…read morewho lived here before had a dog chewed up a lot of the trim that they didn't replace there was holes in the bathroom where the trim was eaten up I finally got them to come put some foam in to make me feel better as far as bugs and mice and stuff getting in. There was hair literally painted into the windowsills because they didn't clean it and they just went ahead and painted the hair into the windowsills. They didn't bring the refrigerator out or the dryer to clean and it was absolutely not just a little bit of field it was completely filthy and it still is because I'm not dragging a dryer out and will probably break it anyway. The refrigerator I drag it out and clean some it just kind of irks me out clean in other peoples like nasty gunk of many years. Something went wrong and the maintenance guy just told me that at least I don't have to pay for it have it done that you know. And then I was like well that's a part of the rent is maintenance and he was like no it's not and I was like yes it is. Part of your rent is the maintenance. There's a bigger gap where it's already late one time it was already sagging we had a water heater bust and now it's sagging even worse worried about mold and they're like telling me there's no mold up there you don't have to worry about it it's not yours like basically that I just pay rent and I'm a tenant. Reported my refrigerator at the beginning of the week almost the weekend almost 4 o'clock I go down there and I'm like hey it's the weekend asking are they not gonna fix it and the guy was like i was about to come fix it. He was like I got other stuff to do and I have to get around to it it's a bunch of apartments well obviously they need more people here and I'm like well I'm upset because it's almost the weekend but it's really expensive well there's other people that don't have food as what he told me even though I work and I go to school and bust my butt to pay for what little food I can afford literally. Which I have to work this weekend so my refrigerator goes out I would have to go bye and ice chess but ice put the food in there and wait till Monday to see if they were going to come fix it. And there's constantly dog poop everywhere like nobody cleans up the dog poop around here half the time there's dog poop in the walkway which I have to go tell him hey there's a big old pile at all. Could you please like spray it off or get them to do something and all they do is blow it to the side so especially during summer all you can smell is hot dog poo everywhere. School is about to be up and I'm fixing to make myself get on lazy and find somewhere else to live it may not be any better than this the only reason we live here is because it is in a safe neighborhood and the commute to some other areas is a little bit better but that is the only advantage to living in this place for this amount or rent. These apartments are dated they smell bad and musty these old central air and heat stink they're like old and musty and those like if you can afford it go somewhere else and if you're not scared of crime go somewhere else I would not live here. The walls are thin you can hear everything through it. And if you're not a smoker well you better get used to smelling the smoke from the other apartments because it's gonna come in to yours. Also you can smell the lovely marijuana through the walls and I'm not a smoker so it is not delightful to me at all makes my head hurt and makes me nauseated. And people have a right to live their lives if they smoke that's the right smoke I'm just saying these apartments are not insulated well whatsoever all the nooks and crannies everybody else's mail comes right into your house. All the noise people have a right to go and live their lives and make noise you know but it's so bad insulated that you can hear the other peoples conversations right through your bedroom wall you can hear them sneeze literallyThe landscaped is not kept up very well and it's not cleaned around here on the outside very well at all it's a lot of light black mold growing on the little walkways up to the apartments. And if things aren't spelled correctly it's because I'm voice texting because I hate to type on the phone. And one of the only other reasons I'm leaving here is because my obsessed safety boyfriend is obsessed basically with safety and it's a safe neighborhood again. And he's too lazy to to get his butt up and pack stuff up and move somewhere else but we're fixing to get our butt up and move somewhere else. But after the little thing today with the maintenance guy and not having something like my refrigerator that I feel was not fixed in a timely manner everything's done built up and like I said this is not the best place to live. As my boyfriend put it we're about to step up from Soviet era Union Public housing.
