Advenir at French Quarter Apartamentos

On my second year living here. The parking lot is full of potholes that haven't been filled in since I've lived there. When it rains or snows it is like driving through a mine field.
The rat problem outside by the dumpsters has improved but the building still has rats. Can hear them behind the walls and in the ceiling attacking each other. Roaches are a constant thing for most of the time I've been living there. The pool didn't open till the third week of August in 2023. Hasn't been open... yet for 2024. Multiple packages stolen and the mailboxes have been broken into as well. The only cameras watch the doors, so they don't ever catch the thieves on camera. Quite a few residents leave trash were it doesn't belong. The parking lot is full of rundown broken vehicle that take up spots and haven't moved in months. Good bit of homeless in the area. The tennis court is trash. The gym equipment is questionable and most of the electric gym equipment is broken. The elevator is out quite often. The washers and dryers take a while for them to be fixed as well. I live here cause it's cheap and can save money. Staff don't really bother looking for packages when searching the office mailroom, they a found a package from 2 months prior after telling me they couldn't find it when I went to pick up a new package. Also, the hallways smell foul sometimes and leaky pipes in the hallways. Hope this helps before deciding to stay here. Lee mas

It's only been a week. Management and staff are absolutely great. The 3 stars are because of that.
But I'll keep it 100% while my living space is excellent. I live on the 5th floor. We've had a water main break and elevator has been out 3 days. I've reported the elevator both to Management and maintenance. The first day it wad fixed immediately. However after multiple 12 hr shifts at work I had to walk up the stairs. A bit troubling because I just moved in. I had to cancel furniture delivery... because of this. I don't see all the stuff that other reviews have.
The greatest advice I can give to anyone reading this, always focus on the purpose of any move. I believe that this is a great starting point or first step. I'm starting all over again, so my purpose is to have a roof over my head. Stability is essential. This complex does that for me. I stay to myself and don't have any interest in what others are doing. Lee mas

read reviews before moving in!!!! this place is roach infested! area is dirty and unsafe, caught a homeless person sitting in the stairwell, people leave their trash laying in the building. the door handle to get in the building breaks every month so people prop the door open. don’t trust your car in the parking spots, someone broke into my car, hallways have a strong odor. definitely will not be staying here any longer! wouldn’t recommend

We scheduled a tour with the leasing office earlier in the week to have them call us at 4:30 the day before to cancel the tour saying they will be closed because they are shortstaffed. We are in from out of town and if we had been notified at time of making appointment we would have made arrangements to see the apartment. The agent did not seem to think this was rude or a problem so just beware when trying to tour here! Wish I could say anything about the property- we were looking forward to it.

I'll keep this brief: the models for their apartments are beautiful, but yours won't be, nor will it be cleaned properly before you move in.

If you don't like cockroaches, stay away. We have had cockroaches since day one and they have not gotten rid of them. Can't even cook without seeing one run across the kitchen counter and with a personal allergy to them, this place is a nightmare.

The cockroach issue is in the walls, the plumbing, and several other areas they refuse to fix and have been... notified on.

Gunshots in the area happen occasionally, so if you value safety, you won't find it here. We also have not had access to the pool or tennis court in who knows how long, yet we pay for that.

Long story short: if you enjoy bug-infested, poorly maintained properties close to light-rail stations, this is the perfect place for you.

Otherwise, do yourself a favor and find another place to live. Lee mas
