Southgate Condos & Southgate 2 Apartments

Save yourself the hassle of dealing with this place. They don’t come to fix anything that’s broken, but will be quick to try and charge you for it once you move out. They also don’t respect lease periods, as they entered my apartment to begin renovations for the next tenant before my lease was even over. The only good thing I found about this place was how close it is to campus, but a nicer living space and decent people running it is worth driving a few minutes longer.

My son has lived at Southgate 2 Apartments for 2 years now and has loved it. The location can't be beat! It's walking distance to the LSU campus so an easy stroll to classes and athletic events. The property is also well kept and management is great. It's privately owned and Heidi and her team do a fantastic job taking care of residents on a very personal level.

Don't expect a security deposit back no matter how clean the apartment is when you leave. They'll charge $135 for any amount of cleaning, even if it is simply dusting the blinds. They also charge $100 to steam clean the carpeting on the stairs which are no more than 80 sq. ft. Make sure you note any amount of dirtiness when you move in. I left the apartment cleaner than when I moved in and was still charged because I didn't note some things beforehand. I lived there for 5 years and caused no... problems or damage in the apartment. They don't do anything for their tenants. The apartments have also become overpriced recently, they will add $20 or more to your rent every time you renew your lease.
