Woodlake on the Bayou

"The area is great I love to live so close to the memorial area. These are great apartments in a great area. They are a bit older and that brings some issues, but the maintenance and office staff are always friendly and quick to respond, I always use the app and usually takes 24 to 72 hours to have everything done. The maintenance team are always friendly and the security team as well. I have loved my time here and will always recommend it to others. The only issue is the parking but that’s because some residents don’t respect it, if you’re renting an extra parking lot sometimes someone will be there and you would have to wait or send an email and just use the public parking area. Yes, there are raccoons depending on the season but come on people, we’re living almost in a forest area, just choose wisely the building because some are better than others, the closer to the bayou well more likely you’ll see more raccoons or stuff like that. I do recommend the complex. The rent is fair, the maintenance works well, the gym is pretty basic but it works as well. The area is great and you can live quietly in peace."

"Strongly considered leasing here , especially after checking out the neighborhood for a few weeks. Decided against it after a poor experience with the leasing associate w/ the detached lace front. She was a complete turn off and unprofessional. Now looking at the reviews, I'm happy with my decision .Definitely would not recommend this place."

"Do Not Move Here!! These are catfish apartments they are old and beat down on the outside and the inside is not updated the cabinets were destroyed in my apartment the paint job was rushed everything was old. I was told I would have a balcony and when I saw them it was a shared porch as my “balcony “. I have resigned my lease due to these reasons and also a false lease agreement the price in the lease wasn’t the same when I came to pay my move in amount. I’ve been having issues not only with these things but the leasing agents here are rude and disrespectful it took a lot for me to keep my composure the only agent that was respectful is McKenzie. A motel is better than these , other current residents have also told me these aren’t good and lots of maintenance issues that don’t get handled in a timely fashion."

"BURGLARIES ARE RAMPANT DO NOT MOVE HERE. Should receive 0 stars. I lived here for almost a year from summer 22-May 23 a complete disaster. I had to leave 2 months before my lease expired because I was burglarized. They broke into my apartment in May 2023, while I wasn’t home, they took many of my electronics including my 55’ TV, HP Laptop, shoes, clothes, jewelry and my apartment was left a mess. When I spoke to the manager, Cherie, about what happened and asked her to send an email letting the residents know there was a burglary, so they would be more vigilant, she stated that they didn’t do that and that any announcements were posted on paper at the mail room. This never happened, I returned to see if they ever announced that there were burglary’s in the complex, and nothing was ever announced. Even with the security at the gate, there is no real security there. I had to pay the full 2 months of rent left on the lease in order to leave without penalty against my rental history. Other neighbors I spoke to that live above me said that the apartments around us had been broken into as well & that’s why they were vacant, I lived on the first floor of building 43. The sister property is right next to Woodlake and I have a friend that lives there whose apartment also got broken into. So burglars know this is a hidden spot perfect to rob. The worst living experience of my life. Since I moved there the apartment was a disgusting, roaches and flea infestation like I’ve never seen before. There were roaches coming out of the fridge and I was bit by fleas on my ankles constantly even though I had no pets. They have a flea infestation in the entire property because of the raccoons that go into the chimneys and bring the pests into the apartments. I did treatments for the fleas and roaches, called the office multiple times & even after the treatments, the fleas were there. The office was used to receiving these calls from other residents. When I moved in the apartment was dirty & they painted over the walls that still had the previous residents hair on walls & bathtub, didn’t vacuum the carpet, and when I moved they took my deposit and put it towards the last water bill."

"I met with Kelly S. today and she is awesome! Very friendly and professional. She had no issue walking me to the unit in 100° heat and the unit was a little ways from the leasing office. She also told me of all the amenities offered at the complex. It's a very serene and clean complex. She even picked up a few discarded items on our walk back to the office, which shows how much she cares about the community and it's presentation. I highly recommend this townhome and apartment complex."
