The Legacy at Baton Rouge Apartments

First off the issues everyone faces: below average wi-fi, you never know which entrance/exit gate works, and you hear about a car-break-in every week. Individually, our AC has gone out twice and hasn’t been the same since, our TV stopped working during usage and has not been replaced after FIVE FULL MONTHS, and my carpet is currently soaked due to a leak for at least the fourth time in my two years here. It’s honestly impressive that a place can have so many problems. There’s mold in the... bathrooms and near/on the ceilings and maintenance literally told us we need to “go buy some spray bleach and wipe it down” which seems like a maintenance duty if I’m not mistaken. Stuff WILL be broken upon move-in day so make sure your camera is ready. Read More

- Property manager needs improvement in respectfulness in their communication
- Slow maintenance response, often exceeding months for fixing anything from fridge to the roof (GOD forbid something breaks)
- Internet reliability issues during rain, problematic for Louisiana's climate
- Excellent amenities and high-quality buildings

My unit's A/C and internet was out for a solid month where we couldn't even live here because it was always in the mid to high 80s at all times. We couldn't do our class/homework and three of us left to go to our parents' houses. I called and went up to the front desk several times, but they did not help us until later when the part came in. Eventually it got installed, but when I called because my roommates and I wanted to try and get a reimbursement for the time we weren't there, they started... ignoring me. They told me to send them an email and I sure did, but never got a response. I called several times and went in person, but the property manager was no where to be found when I would go up there. I left messages and notes for the person, but they did not care at all and never even bothered to give me a call back. So we were cheated out of our rent for time where we couldn't even stay here and they refuse to communicate with you for anything fund related unless its them wanting your money. The people at the front desk are very nice and helpful, but the manager is absolutely horrid. Do NOT expect to get any sensible reimbursement for error on the property's fault. We had to wait weeks for the part to get shipped and for the internet to be functioning. You would think they'd have backup machinery on stock and at least give you reimbursement to make up for the time you suffered under their care. They simply don't care is my point. Read More

Management here sucks. Unsafe situations and they claim they cant do anything about it when there are no cameras around the property. If you have a problem they arent going to help you. Go live anywhere else. If i could break my lease I would. I feel so unsafe living in my apartment.

Jan 2021: My son moved in this horrible place in August. He moved out in November and refuses to go back. He was placed in an apartment with two adult males who work in fast food restaurants. Their hours are night shift so they are home all day playing video games abd shouting at the screen. They do not clean up after themselves so the house is full of trash, old containers of food, and drinks. They don’t clean their own dishes, they take his when they run out and leave his dirty and all over... the house. They take his food, leave the pots and pans dirty so he has nowhere to cook or eat. They won’t listen when he tells them to keep it down because he has to study, or to take out the trash or to clean up after themselves. The managers are awful, telling him the only thing they can do is move him somewhere else with random roommates who may or may not be LSU students. He moved out more than a month ago and the only thing the managers there can offer is for him to sublease it himself or to pay them an additional $700 for them to put him on a list just in case someone calls for a room. They also told me they don’t advertise for it themselves, so the list doesn’t really help unless some poor sap is looking for one room and calls them himself. They also said that the list is long so don’t hold your breath about them finding someone for you because they won’t let you out of the lease; you’ll be stuck paying to live with horrible roommates who are not even students. BEWARE!!! Read More
