I have lived here for OVER 13 years now. I originally moved in with my boyfriend of 2 years at the…read moretime. And now it is me, my boyfriend of now 15 years, & our beautiful, amazing 5 year old daughter!! We LOVE living here! It's calm & quiet even considering we are a few feet away from the interstate & less than a 1/2 mike away from the train tracks... The residents are so nice and respectful of their neighbors. It's ESPECIALLY amazing living here the last few years since Mrs. Karen (our landlord/property manager) took over. Before her there was constant issues regarding the previous (several) landlords/property managers such as them being rude & not caring about us residents to hearingbrumors of one of them stealing money somehow... But none of those issues exsist now that Mrs. Karen is watching over us. She is the sweetest, most kind hearted person you will EVER meet!! When I say she treats us like family.. I mean that 100%. She goes ABOVE & BEYOND for ALL the residents (regardless if you just moved in or if you're like us who have been here 13 years... everyone gets the same respect & live shown to them by her). I HIGHLY recommend looking into Audubon Gates Apartments if you're looking for somewhere that's safe, kid friendly, & all around just a great place to live & a great little community to be apart of!!!

TERMITES, FUNGUS, HORRIBLE STAFF. This place is an absolute nightmare. We've lived here for 7…read moremonths and have had nothing but problems. The first month we moved in we had a fungal bloom come through the drywall in our bathroom. All they did was send maintenance to cut what they could see and put spackle over the hole. There's is no telling how extensive the damage is behind our wall. In February our entire unit flooded from their washing machine malfunctioning. We called the emergency line that night and no one answered. We finally called the next morning and got through to someone. They sent out a company to use machines to remove the water from the carpet. Even though the water had reached the walls NO INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED TO ENSURE MOLD HAD NOT DEVELOPED. We alerted the management two weeks ago that we had a termite infestation in our walls when we noticed we had new pin-sized holes in our walls. The management complete wrote us off and said it was simply swarmers that got inside even though we sent them pictures of them actively crawling through the holes in the wall. They finally managed to send a pest control worker out who only treated the outer wall and told us he didn't know what he was doing, had only worked for the company for a month, and could not treat the inside which was our biggest problem. After many complaints they finally sent another pest agent out to treat the inside. All during this we continued to tell them they were still coming into our unit by our window. They finally opened the wall up to find extensive damage to the studs in our wall from the termites. We currently have an open wall in our wall with exposed rotted wood with no baseboard. At the moment 1st lake has done nothing for us even though we can not occupy our unit due to our personal safety concerns. We refuse to share our bedroom with bugs especially when they are STILL COMING IN and have an open hole in our wall now. They have not offered us another place to live and have been extremely difficult to communicate with. We have told them we simply want to move out of our unit but they do not care about their residents. At the moment they are insisting we remain in the unit while they undergo extensive structural repairs to a load bearing wall--all of which I'm sure they are doing without permit. We already spoke with a license contractor and a local building inspector that both said we should not be occupying the unit while such an extensive repair is being completed. We are pretty sure from the damage we've seen in our walls that it has spread to other units as well. This community is horrible, termite infested, uncommunicative, and fails to care about the health and safety of it's residents. DO NOT LIVE HERE!!

Bulkhead Brothers was hired to do two large projects for our company. In both cases, they had very…read moreexpensive change orders that were not budgeted. This set back our business cash flow as the project came in quite a bit more than the original bid. In addition, they did not post one of our payments. They sent us a final bill. We hand wrote the check so the vendor could come pick it up. The next day our Accountant caught that they had not applied an earlier payment for $38,775. We have made numerous attempts to collect our money. The owner said they went over on the project and didnt have the money to re-pay our over-payment. We will be taking them to court for theft. DO NOT USE!

Brothers came out and redid our bulkhead and replaced piling for our back porch, great company to…read morework with! We had many questions and they answered all of them and then some! Treated us like family throughout the whole process! Very fair pricing wouldn't recommend anyone else! I'm sure my husband is already trying to figure out some project to have them come back out to our house!

We had an excellent experience working with MHP NOLA on our bathroom renovation. From start to…read morefinish, they were professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with--something that is honestly hard to find these days. They showed up when they said they would, kept us informed throughout the process, and never disappeared or left us guessing about next steps. That alone set them apart. On top of that, the quality of their work speaks for itself--everything turned out beautiful. What really impressed me was their responsiveness. If something didn't look quite right or needed adjusting, they addressed it quickly and without hesitation. No pushback, no excuses--just solutions. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with both the process and the final result. I would absolutely recommend MHP NOLA to anyone looking for a contractor who is dependable, communicative, and delivers high-quality work. I'm already planning on using them again for the wood floor replacement and other bathroom renovation.
