been living here for three years- great experience for my first apartment. ownership has changed- since then maintenance has been a bit more timely in responding to work orders. sometimes you have the occasional outside straggler walk in since the apartments are accessible to the outside- but nothing too horrible! there are always events being hosted, especially during school. rent is slightly pricey- but all apartments are now so it's okay. no towing read more

I would not recommend living here. The biggest issue was my air conditioning. It was broken for months, and my bedroom would get up to around 80 degrees. This counts as a "emergency" but no one answered the emergency line after calling multiple times so I was stuck with it for days. During the winter freeze, I also didn't have working heat, so my room was freezing, and this also wasn't resolved for weeks. There was a complete lack of communication. Maintenance would mark requests as "resolved" without actually fixing the problem or explaining what was going on, and it was almost impossible to get in touch with anyone for updates. Because they were constantly trying to work on the AC, maintenance was in and out of my apartment all the time, leaving doors wide open even though I have a pet that I pay rent for that could have easily escaped. Why am I paying so much to have my pet here and it's not respected? They would ask for me to keep my pet locked up but would give no notice of when they are coming, so it's unrealistic for me to lock up my cat for days at a time while I'm at work. On top of that, mold started growing around the AC unit and on my walls. The amenities are decent in theory, but even the clubhouse gets so hot that it's uncomfortable to study there for long periods of time. I also had a roommate whose dog destroyed parts of the apartment, and management didn't seem to do much about it. The dog wasn't on the lease and management did not care. Overall, the lack of communication and the way maintenance issues were handled made living here incredibly stressful. I spent months dealing with problems that should have been fixed quickly, and I never felt like residents' concerns were taken seriously. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

I just moved out and they are charging me $1040 for damages when cleaning is adequate. Along side this, managers are extremely difficult to contact and the front desk is little to no help. read more

I lived at the now named "Tradition at 777" for 2 years. Moving in, the unit was in TERRIBLE condition. Dirt all over the CEILING, candy melted to the floor, and tons of damage from past tenants left untouched. We had countless roach infestations and, though I love cats, we had some living under our unit, so the entire place smelled of cat pee. Our AC would go out at least once a month, leaving us in humid and hot conditions that they wouldn't fix for days since it wasn't deemed an emergency. During one summer it was a consistent 80+ degrees in our unit and they still would not fix our AC. Move out was just as horrible. I was charged for things I was told would be covered when moving in, like painting over nail holes. I was told as long as they were filled I would not be charged since they paint each unit after every tenant, which was evident to be untrue when I saw the condition of our unit when we first moved in. I am now being charged $110 dollars for them to paint over the tiny holes I patched, which I could've just left them to deal with. Many of my roommates were charged outrageous prices for things that were already broken and they would not come fix. One of my roommates had an ant infestation, as well as mold growing on her walls and AC unit, which I began to notice in my room once we moved out. Front desk workers are all college students who couldn't care less about your issues. They are basically getting paid to hangout with each other all day. They were always extremely rude when you would come in for an issue and would act like it was inconveniencing them to help you out, WHICH THEY ARE PAID TO DO. The only redeeming factor of this place is the amount of space in the unit. Living room in our 5 bedroom was huge and bedrooms were a nice size. Bathrooms and closets are extremely small though. I would not ever recommend living here. I know all college apartments have their issues, but this place was just abominable and horrendous. Good luck trying to get out your lease once you're in too. They make it almost impossible to escape the nightmare that is the Tradition at 777. read more

These apartments used to be a reasonably priced place to live and had good staff who helped with issues, but now the staff have gone down hill considerably. Have had many maintenance issues (these houses are built horribly and things constantly break). It was not an issue before when maintenance would come fix things but now they are under staffed and the staff on hand is not too bright. We have had our AC out for over a month (6 weeks now) and they haven't done anything they've came 3x and haven't been able to fix it and leave the apartment a mess. Don't even bother trying to contact them it is all Ai response messages and they don't even answer the phones or texts. Would not recommend, nice gym though. read more

don't move in. it's cool and all just because of the accommodation it gives you as a college student. they don't answer their office phones most of the time. my a/c is filling up with mole, while in my bathroom there is something else that looks like mole. I have many times asked maintenance to come fix it but all they did was paint over it and call it a day. also don't let me get started with the wild cats around here. my neighbors would leave their back door open while cooking , just for them to get fleas all over their house. the pricing is not really worth living with 4 other people! read more

Awful! Don't lease here. The pictures on the website are misleading. The model homes are in great condition, but don't expect your leased unit to be anything close. Mold everywhere, the internet goes out constantly and the furniture in the furnished units is a joke! They won't replace anything and the leasing manager, Madison won't help even if you could ever get her to call you back. It's absolutely awful. Ive attached proof in pictures. I pay $1255 a month for this. The worst decision of 2022, no exaggeration necessary. Since I'm in a furnished unit, I was told by Madison that if I moved anything to buy my own furniture, I would have to find a place to store their nasty furniture at my expense and replace it when I moved out. read more

worst living experience you could ever have. Their maintance team when into my room and threw away my belongings (total of more than $500.00 dollars worth) even family pictures. They said it was a mistake due to miscommunication from their front office, but never comunicated or even offered an apology this happened over the summer I find out until I went back for school and my room was almost empty. They only offered a $100.00 gift card that I still haven't gotten and it's been 7 months. read more

I love staying at the lodges and have been there for 2 going on three years. The maintenance team is always ready to help and it's so easy to put in a request. All of the workers are also so helpful and willing to do whatever they can to get the job fixed. I accidentally forgot to resign my lease for the following year and only had a couple months left to figure out a new place to stay but with all of the teams help and honestly some really good luck they were able to fix my issue and I'll be staying another year without having to move out. I can honestly say I would choose to stay at the lodges over anywhere else. read more

The Lodges at 777 - My room - University Housing Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

NEVER EVER LIVE HERE. lived with black mold in my AC unit for two years. Told maintenance and managers multiple times and all they did was take a wet rag and wipe the mold away. They DO NOT CARE. I will never forgive myself for living here for so long. Save yourself and your health and choose somewhere else. They are money hungry and the front desk workers are RUDE. read more

They are super helpful, maintenance is super quick, people are really great with their residents, they care about if your needs are met, I reccomend this place 1000%! read more

The Lodges at 777 - University Housing Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I have lived at The Lodges for 3 years now and there is no place else I would rather live. My favorite amenities include the pool and the gym. They recently renovated the gym and now I prefer to go there rather than the UREC. The staff and maintenance workers are so helpful and respond so quickly! read more

I have lived at the lodges for the past 2 years and I am living there again next year. It's a good place to live while in college. The way the leases are really great and my parents love that too. The amenities are great and the people who work here are very kind and helpful. Every place has its ups and downs like we didn't have ac down stairs for the whole year but over all I always recommend it. :) read more

The Lodges 777 has been a great experience for my first apartment at LSU. Throughout my time of living here, I have experienced great times with my roommates throughout the accommodating services done by the lodges. At the basketball court, we have made me memories that you never forget and I will always remember this place as my first apartment. The only downside for living here is come time to renew your lease, you better do it fast to get if you would like to get into a different apartment. Overall, this would be a great choice for you first apartment read more

DO NOT LIVE HERE. Please listen to the other reviews about this place. This is my 4th year living here, the first three years were great. The new management absolutely sucks and is super unprofessional. Before, I recommended this place to so many people but now, I would stay as far away as possible. read more

Pretty good place considering the price. Each room has its own AC/Heating unit.. but for the heat to work they have to all be on heat which can be an issue for some disagreeing roomates. Front desk s nice and helpful, but take ages to check in packages. Amazing prime is essentially useless here as your package won't be "checked in" for at least a day, sometimes up to a week after it's been delivered. Super frustrating to know your item is sitting in that room somewhere but they won't let you have it. What if whatever it was was needed for an emergency? Or medicine? Wish they had a new system. Pool is nice and usually clean.. although it's not deep at all. (4 feet it seems), Sadly no hot tub either. Basketball court is really nice but unfortunately they don't turn on the lights after sunset anymore.. so not night balling for anyone. Lakes are cool, but don't bother bringing fishing gear unless you just got a ton of time to waste. Navigating the neighborhood is kind of hard and there really isn't any good signage to tell you where to go. This sucks for food delivery drivers especially. My room initially came with leaks i. the window and the carpet smelled like cat pee, but maintenance might be the best part about this place. They seem to always fix whatever's broken in a pretty quick manner.. Although they recently told me they don't clean carpets anymore for returning residents even though they've done it twice before. The gates work most of the time but on the rare occasion they won't at all and that can be a headache. The residents here are also really really bad at picking up their dogs feces. The lodges needs to add those trash cans where you can also take a poop bag for your dog from. I've never had an issue with my keys, but my roomates magnetic key won't work no matter what he tries. He's already went through two of them and they charged him the second time. He's fearful they'd charge him again so now he banks in the fact we will be home to let him in. Sewage and water utilities all work nice and well. If getting furnished, the furniture sucks. Period, but that is 100% to be expected and you have to remember what you're paying for rent here.. because at the end of the day it's quite affordable compared to some others places around here. Also, don't let them sell you on the clubhouse.. It might seem super cool and all, but unless it's for the gym.. Odds are you'll never really utilize anything else. read more

Coming back again because they changed the way they charge utilities and now they can't help us if something is wrong. I have to contact the service they use directly. My rent has gone down every year yet I'm always paying the same amount because utilities increase for some reason. Also I'm paying 38% of utilities in a four bedroom house and my roommate is paying 8%. See the problem? read more

The Lodges at 777 - It has been FOUR DAYS and they still haven't fixed it. How tf does this even happen?!? - University Housing Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Buyer BEWARE. They will tell you that they have what you need, charge you a ridiculous application fee, then tell you that they sold out of your selection but can offer you something for more money. Oh, and they won't refund your application fee when this happens. Complete bait and switch scam! read more

I really like my stay at the Lodges so far. Very nice gym and pool

I lived at the lodges this past year and I had an okay experience. Everything went smoothly the first couple months until they switched management and utilities were bundled up into one giant check. The pool at one point had turned green during this time as well. I've had no problems with new management but I will say I was in a unit by myself and I had a major roach/mice problem. I am a VERY clean person so it was actually quite upsetting. I called pest control many times and it seemed to keep the problem at bay for a couple weeks and then I would find mice and roaches in traps I set out. I had problems with garbage disposal, a leaking sink, a dishwasher that would leak out water. I also had my packages stolen and I had to reach out numerous times because they were not going to let me know. Management was responsive to the dishwasher but messed up my sink and made problems worse when they tried to fix it. Baton Rouge isn't a safe place all together but during spring break I had two cars parked right beside mine broken into, not to mention many trucks getting there times/ whole tires stolen and let on cinder blocks. Also had an incident at the very end of the year where a couple that clearly did not live there would come and fish at our ponds. We had to call the police because of domestic abuse incident and as a college student that is very scary considering I lived by myself. I'm not sure if any other living situations are better but I did get sick quite often so I'm sure the other reviews about mold/ roaches and other problems are true. The amenities are nice but I hardly had time to use them. read more

DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!Had mold in our apartment and they refused to do anything but paint over it. They don't respond to anything unless it's an emergency. They left my dog with no ac for hours even when I said it was an emergency. read more

I love living here! Super dog friendly and anytime something needs to be fixed maintenance comes super quick to fix the issue!

I have really enjoyed living at the lodges. It is by far one of the best student living apartments to live in. Yes, sometimes things break a little more frequently than I would like, but maintenance will come same day and fix it and make sure everything else is working properly. For the price, it really can't be beat and the staff does a great job of making this feel more like a little community that everyone can be a part of. I can genuinely say that I really enjoy living here and wouldn't hesitate to resign my lease. read more

DO NOT LIVE HERE! If I could give zero stars I would. It was recently bought by another company and has completely gone to shit. Ordering packages is an absolute pain. They changed the office hours so it's harder to find time to go to the package room. Recently they've been shutting down the package room DURING OFFICE HOURS so it's even less time to get your packages. Maintenance used to always be on top of things. Now we never know when we're going to get repairs and there is little to no communication/updates on when things will be repaired. Gates and lights were broken the entire summer and the issue was not addressed at all with residents. Lights were not repaired until September. They went out in June. It was a major safety issue and my roommate got her car broken into because of it. Gym air conditioning upstairs has been out since we moved in. I think maybe one of the five treadmills works now. Many people have issues with roaches and mold. One of our friends had a flea infestation when she moved in and had to have the place tented. We had no issues prior to the property being bought out, but now that they're taking away unfurnished units, they've lost a ton of people entirely. If you could live anywhere else, please do. read more

I moved into the Lodges last month and everything has been great thus far! The office team is amazing and always willing to help me with whatever questions I have. Jess and Mike are amazing and so friendly! I LOVE IT HERE and will definitely be renewing! read more

Super friendly staff and beautiful property. More of a community feel than a apartment complex and super affordable!

good location and the price of rent is cheap but they use Simple Bills as their provider for utility bills. Simple bills is the worst company ever there is no rhyme or reason when they bill you some months you will get billed for 14 days worth of utilities and some days will be 33 days. on the last month of my lease i was just charged for 93 days worth of utilities. When contacting simplebills to ask them how this makes sense to charge three months worth of rent in one month they hung up on me. When looking up simplebills it is nothing but horrible reviews of similar experiences. Shame on the apartment complexes for continuing to use a service that disservices their residents. how they can justify continuing to use this company is beyond me read more

Extremely disappointed and unhappy with management and maintenance. They both send people to just unlock and walk into my apartment and room without my knowledge or approval. They walked in on my roommate in the shower to check her fire sprinkler that's in her bathroom/closet. They knew she was in the shower yet continued to do work. They unlock your bedroom door and walk in while you are sleeping to "see if this room is available." They make these unwelcome appearances several times a month. They don't wear masks or give us any type of heads up. We have tried to fix this many times, but nothing has really changed. read more

Poor and unresponsive management. No manager available after hours or on weekends. Not interested in providing customer service. Do not respond to calls or emails. I have never had a call or email returned. I can honestly say as a parent, this is THE WORST property management I have ever experienced. read more

Lived here for a year, was the worst place I've ever lived. We had an ant infestation. Constant cockroach infestation. We had a mushroom growing out of our kitchen floor. A hole in the kitchen floor. And the worst part had to be the mold growing in my bedroom walls. All of the items in my closet started to grow mold, and I was severely sick for 4 months straight due to the mold. After telling them about it multiple times, they finally came in and all they did was paint the walls to hide the mold showing through. Only good thing about this place is the cheap rent. read more

I really enjoy living at the Lodges! The office and maintenance teams are great and always respond very quickly. The property is beautiful, and I look forward to living here for another year! read more

I have loved living at the lodges so far! Matience has been super fast and reliable. The only thing I took a star off is our furnished cottage was supposed to come with a chair next to our couch and we were supposed to get in August and we still have not received it. Other than that living at the lodges has been amazing! read more

Living at the Lodges 777 has been pretty good so far. They are quick to respond to work orders and have fun events for residents throughout the year. I live in a manor with 4 other roommates and we really like the space we are living in. Our only problems this year have been with wifi and the printer being down for a few months. Overall, I would recommend this place if you are a college student looking for a place to live. read more

Lived here 2 years. Bottom quality units. wall outlets and vents leaking mold. Hastily covered water damage. Obscene move out/cleaning fees even after cleaning and following all instructions. Only upside is that maintenance is very responsive and its cheap. You get what you pay for, these are some of the shittiest units around and not even that affordable anymore. I would recommend paying an extra 40-50$/ month and staying at any other nearby place over this shithole. read more

MOST EXPENSIVE MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. They are CROOKS with no honor or compassion. I was given a disgusting room with roaches, paint peeling off every corner of the roof and ceiling, a dirty moldy bathroom, and the door falling off the hinges. When they refused to remedy the situation, I immediately turned in the key and paid hundreds of dollars to terminate my lease. They then continued to charge me for months despite me having no access. After battling them for months, I gave in to their endless threats and paid $5000 despite never having spent one night there. Now I am still locked into this contract and don't even have the keys! Anything good you have heard about this place is probably from before they sold the complex and changed the name. Most people I know who live here now have plenty of complaints. For months there were no lights, the security cameras were all off, the gates were open, and multiple car thefts and other crimes occurred. It may still be the case. The new management has been absolutely horrible and has done nothing but lie, steal, and screw everyone over. DO NOT RENT FROM HERE. read more

Great place maintenance always comes on time they do free food often! The pool and gym are nice and always clean!

The lodges is great! Always very responsive, great value, and super close to campus! They also have awesome giveaways and events to bring residents together and truly appreciate us!!! read more

horrible customer service and leasing office, they don't fix maintenance requests but mark them as completed anyways, and they allowed five of us to move into a cottage that was infested with fleas from the previous tenants, and did next to nothing to solve the issue, absolutely don't recommend read more

Although some of the units are a little outdated you get the most for your money at the lodges. It's one of the cheaper places to live around LSU campus and definitely nicer than others. Management is amazing and will come fix your work order within a day of putting it in. Everyone in the front office is also super nice and helpful. read more

Maintenance is very quick to fix issues but I did have mold in my last unit that they just painted over and it came back within two weeks. Good value on rent but could clean units between residents. This year I love my unit though! No issues so far. read more
