Ardendale Oaks Apartments

"Let me start by saying don't always go for the good reviews on the website. I'll start with the good. The area is very quiet and the parking is okay just depends on the day I guess. Application process was great. It wasn't a hassle to get in touch with anyone. Although, I was quoted for a different price when I signed my lease it was something different, which they told me it would stay the same rate. But hey I was okay with it still. When I received my key, I went to the apartment. When I tell you they did'nt try to paint the door, remove spider webs, or even sweep around it. Another red flag but I'm still going with the flow. Entered the apartment, the apartment was not clean at all, roaches everywhere, painting still not complete, and smell was horrible. I had to use my money for supplies to clean because I traveled over 6 hours to live here. Reported to the office, they assumed they knew nothing and housekeeping said the apartment was ready. Come to find out the apartment wasn't ready for me to move in but they wanted the money of course. Roach residue all over the cable box, in the cabinets like just ridiculous. The next month, the roaches wasn't any better. Yall they were fall out EVERYWHERE. YET AGAIN, I had to get someone to spray because they were all over. Reported again and over heard that the people before me where not clean at all. I could honestly tell like in the bathroom there is hair on the ceiling. they didn't bother to clean. so, they came again to spray. NEVER did they give or say anything regarding my apartment and how much im spending extra. Next month, spiders. Yall the spiders literally falling out the ceiling in my bedroom and not just one or two. Like I'm watching tv and laying in the bed! cool I put in a work order for pest control immediately. This past week, a snake was in my second bedroom. It was ridiculous. When I say, no one is taking it serious. I MEAN NOBODY BUT ME. Now, its time to go seriously. LET ALONE, lease agent said the gate would be fixed a week after moving here. well guess what I been here 3 months and aint nothing fixed. My rent is too high for me to be experiencing this. I asked to break my lease and this lady never respond. I had to call the office and she talking about i have to pay rent until somebody rent it. ALL BECAUSE YALL OR NASTY AND THIS PLACE IS OLD (SUPPOSEDLY RENOVATED). The worst apartment EVER. TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE. SERIOUSLY. GO PAY GOOD MONEY FOR A NICE PLACE YOU CAN CALL HOME."

"The Ardendale Oaks Apartments on Lobdell are a hidden gem in Baton Rouge. The apartments are so well kept and spacious. The kitchen is updated, there is a spacious living and dining area, the bedroom is also spacious with a nice walk-in closet. I visited a friend and was very impressed with her apartment. The owner(s) really take pride in their property."

"Maintenance NEVER ACTUALLY fix anything. It’s only one maintenance guy and he act like a female he never want to do nothing and lazy . The people in the office never any help, all about money, the gates never work, cars always getting broke into and to make matters worst these complex so old the inside isn’t giving “modern”. The entire complex in need of a “renovation” . To say a one bedroom 810 a month I could take that somewhere else and get a more “modern” apartment. NEVER move here . RUN. Ain’t don’t let me get started on the roaches , nats , and just little critters in your apartment for no reason . The exterminator guy never come and spray and when he do it must be water cause these bugs still be in here. We clean up in here , never leave food out , and always keep the house clean. You know it ain’t yo fault when you don’t have baby roaches . It be them big roaches. I had to stop using my pantry because they would crawl all over what was in there .The rent here should be 500-700 dollars . It’s giving scam if I could give zero starts I would ."

"We felt right at home the moment we arrived! Miss Karen and Toni are wonderful people that I feel care for the community. The apartment itself is beautifully renovated and our appliances were new. The only thing was our mail key wasn’t ready for 10 days or so. I’m sure they felt we bothered them a lot about that but they handled it professionally and got the key to us as fast as they probably could. The laundry facility is clean. The entrance gate works. There’s plenty of parking that is unreserved. I’m glad we chose Ardendale Oaks!"

"This apartment complex is by far my favorite i have been in. It is a great little community of all kinds of unique people. Every issue that i have had got solved quickly and efficiently. The staff is always willing and ready to help with smiles on their faces. I can finally say i feel safe and happy at a complex. You can tell they truly care! Thanks Ms. Karen, Toni, Marnie, and Tanya."
