I've lived at The Crescent for over two years, and I truly can't say enough great things about my experience here. The entire team, from the property manager and assistant manager to the leasing staff and maintenance crew, is phenomenal. They consistently go above and beyond, and it genuinely shows in every aspect of the community. Maintenance is incredibly prompt and reliable. My work orders are often addressed the same day, which is rare and so appreciated. The grounds are always spotless, well maintained, and beautiful. You never see trash, and it's clear there's a high standard for keeping the property clean and welcoming. What really sets The Crescent apart, though, is the people. The staff has always been so helpful with any questions I've had, and over time, they've truly become like family to me. They make a point to connect with residents and create a sense of community that you don't often find. It's not just a place to live, it feels like home. They also put so much effort into the resident experience. From monthly air filter replacements to thoughtful touches like resident events, coffee mornings, evening gatherings with food, and fun activities for all ages, you can tell their goal is to bring people together. It makes a huge difference. The apartments themselves are beautiful, clean, and consistently kept up to date. The team is always making improvements to ensure everything stays fresh and well maintained, both inside and out. This is, without a doubt, the best apartment community in Lafayette, especially for the price and location. You truly can't go wrong living here. A huge thank you to Dawn, Randall, Andrew, Kenny, and the entire maintenance team. I know I'm missing a few names. You all are amazing, and I'm so grateful for everything you do. Five star experience all around. Highly recommend The Crescent at River Ranch! read more

I've had the pleasure of living at the Crescent at River Ranch for the past four years, and I can honestly say it has been a wonderful experience. Since Dawn stepped in as manager, she has gone above and beyond to make meaningful improvements to the property while ensuring that residents feel heard and well taken care of. Randall, the assistant manager, is equally exceptional - his kindness and genuine attention to residents truly set him apart. It's rare to find a team so dedicated and approachable. Let me not forget to mention the maintenance staff, Josh, Shay, Kenny and Wayne.....awesome!!! The location is incredibly convenient; with everything you could need just minutes away. As a single woman, feeling safe where I live is a top priority, and I feel not just safe, but truly comfortable here and in the surrounding area. I love living at the Crescent so much that I've decided to upgrade to a larger apartment within the community - and I'll even be moving my mother here from Alabama. That alone speaks volumes about how much I trust and value this property and its staff. -KAM read more

My experience living in these apartments has been top tier. The location is unmatchable and they do a wonderful job taking care of the property. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and goes above and beyond for the residents I highly recommend asking for Randall in the leasing office. read more

Since living at the Crescent for the last few years, my experience has been positive. I usually deal with the assistant manager Randall, and he is always respectful, responsive, and patient .

I've now lived at the Crescent for 2+ years. Location is excellent, and area is beautiful. I cannot understate how great the manager, Dawn, has made my experience as well. Kind, quick to take care of anything you need, and is one of the main reasons I've stayed longer than planned (it was supposed to be a quick 6-12months). If you see this, thank you Dawn! I highly recommend the Crescent as a place to live. read more

I highly recommend Dawn and the Crescent . She was welcoming and made us feel at home while searching for a place to settle in. She was informative , thorough and address our needs and wants . Much appreciated. Randy and Elizabeth Ratcliff read more

very good experience over all. Dawn is very nice to deal with. My apartment is in great shape grounds well maintained

A number of seemingly upscale shops surrounding this aesthetic collection of housing. The traffic in front seems a little much though. Spacious and seems like a nice place to live. read more

Crescent at River Ranch - Apartments Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Pros: 1. Location, location, location! The Crescent is undoubtedly located in the middle of the premiere community of Lafayette, and also within the heart of the booming, growing, and "cool" side of Lafayette. 2. The Maintenance Crew Rocks! It was so refreshing living at an apartment where you could submit a maintenance request in the morning, and your request would be taken care of by the time you returned home from work. I surely miss that because you do NOT get that type of maintenance responses at other properties. 3. Apartment Events: The staff at The Crescent occasionally throw little fun get-togethers for the residents a few times throughout the year. There is a nice Christmas party for residents, and the staff actually do a good job purchasing REAL food that people like. 4. Utility Costs were excellent. My highest bill never exceeded $100 ... and my lowest bill was $35! The apartment also covers the cost of water, sewage, and trash ... so you'll definitely save a little more money. 5. Parking was excellent: There are so many parking spaces on the property that you will never have any issues with parking or inviting guests over. Cons: 1. Hidden Fees EVERYWHERE! If you thought the rent prices advertised on The Crescent's website were real ... LOL ... then you need to wake up. Firstly, the prices on the website are the bare MINIMUM prices for an unwanted, 4th floor level apartment with the most basic designs and amenities imaginable. If your apartment is going to be on the 1st floor or have a "pond view" for example, then be ready to pay a lot more. If your apartment will have a balcony or patio attached, then be ready to pay extra. And I can keep going and going . . . 2. Severely Outdated Interior Decor: For an apartment that is so beautiful on the outside, you would expect the inside to be equally beautiful, right? ... well the architects missed that little detail somehow when they built The Crescent. Other than the overall layout, high ceilings, and beautiful french doors in the living room, the rest of the apartment's decor is BASIC (that's "BASIC" in all capital letters). The decor of the apartment's interior is stuck in the 1990s, and that is completely SAD for a place that charges one of the highest leases in the entire city. At that price, you would EXPECT to get stainless steel appliances, updated finishes, recess lighting, etc. etc. ... well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you thought wrong. 3. Security Walk-In Gate Constantly SLAMMING. For those who will (unfortunately) get an apartment that is located near the apartment's entryway security gates ... you will be annoyed to the highest degree by the constant slamming of the apartment's security gate EVERY time someone enters and/or leaves the apartment's entryway. The gate is magnetic, and the magnetic force on the gate is so strong that it makes the gate close so fast that the inside of your apartment will literally rumble and sound like actual THUNDER when the gate slams shut (and no, I'm not exaggerating here). Many residents complained about this. I even complained all the way up to Park Management Services (the property owners), and was simply told there was NOTHING they would ever do about it, other than having maintenance "re-adjust the gates' hinges," but that never helped. 4. Pests Control Sucks. The apartment "claims" there is an Orkin Pest Control guy who sprays, but there was always some kind of weird cockroach, beetle, or other weird bugs inside of my bathroom at any giving morning. Although it did not happen frequently, dealing with pests of any sort is NOT something anyone should be subjected to when paying rent THIS high...ever! 5. Traffic noise that drove on Camellia Boulevard was a nightmare, and will take a couple weeks (or months) to get used to (if you're lucky). 6. Although you don't hear the neighbors in the adjacent apartments, you WILL unfortunately hear the neighbors who live immediately above your apartment, even if it's one petite person living above you, their footsteps will sound like a giant. 7. There are absolutely no security cameras anywhere on the property or parking lot. 8. There are absolutely no security cameras anywhere on the property or parking lot ... which is crazy in this day-and-age. In conclusion, even with all of my complaints (more like warnings), I really did enjoy living at The Crescent, and I appreciate my time there now that I have moved to another property that do not compare to the "pros" I miss at The Crescent. For what it's worth, if you have the money, then I recommend living at The Crescent, but only for a short-term basis. Otherwise, you'll be equally satisfied renting one of the many townhouses around Lafayette ... and you'll save yourself a lot more money as well ... I do miss living on the "cool" side of town. Good luck in your apartment search! :-) read more

I have lived in many apartment complexes and this by far is the worst. You pay high rent for a severely outdated dump. The location in River Ranch is great but if you live on Camellia Blvd. forget being able to hear your television or be able to sleep from the street noise. I have never needed so many maintenance requests for one apartment. The office staff has been incredibly rude and will sometimes ignore your complaints, you will be treated as if you are bothering them. Please hire competent staff so they can do their jobs in a professional manner like other high rent apartment complexes. I had pests in my apartment in which someone did spray a few times, which I have never needed anyone to spray more than once for living in a place for 1 year. Expect mold to grow all over the buildings and infiltrate the HVAC system and good luck trying to complain about it. There are so many nicer places to live within River Ranch, I would hate for anyone to waste their money here. read more
