Apartments for Rent in Lake Charles, LA

The southwest Louisiana city of Lake Charles has a close relationship with its namesake aquatic neighbor. Public beach access to Lake Charles and Prien Lake make this area a lively locale during warmer months of the year. Lake Charles is also home to McNeese State University, contributing to an energetic atmosphere especially in Downtown Lake Charles. Cajun food and a variety of cuisines can be found in and around Lake Charles, but there's an especially eclectic mix of nightlife and dining options along Broad Street closer to the water. Lake Charles is a particular hotspot for Mardi Gras celebrations outside of New Orleans, exhibited by the city's Mardi Gras Museum. Interstate 10 and 210 make commuting around this fun-filled aquatic city easy, whether it's from an apartment near the water or a charming house south of the interstate.
