Mansions in the Park

This was by far our favorite apartment in Baton Rouge. After moving every other year, we found Mansions in the Park to be our best place we lived. Some of the newer places are nice, but the trees and setting at Mansions were great for walking our dog and feeling a bit removed from the "city". We are sad to have to move with a job transfer, but thanks to the staff for everything while we lived there. Maintenance was quick and efficient, and the leasing office was always friendly.

Terrible manager full of excuses. They will charge an arm and leg at move out over ridiculous claims. Don't let the niceness fool you. After you move in, no one is willing to help.

Absolutely horrible experience at Mansions in the Park. First of all, the crime in the area is extremely high and shocking for the amount of rent I was paying. At least twice a month, gunshots could be heard from the apartments. Not to mention, car break-ins occurred frequently, to which management responded, "Don't forget to lock your cars." So generous of them to be very concerned about their tenants.

In addition, many of the facilities were outdated and in poor shape. The gym’s air... conditioning was not working, making it extremely hot and miserable to work out in during the summer. The apartments themselves had old popcorn ceilings and old carpets that smelled. I would never recommend anyone to move here.

I left my apartment in great shape after cleaning it up with my father and was charged absurd fees. Management is terrible and needs to be changed. Read More

I could not have asked for a better first apartment! My fiancé and I lived here for just under a year and the only reason we’re moving is because he got a job out of state. The staff were wonderful, kind, and so helpful! Any maintenance issues were solved quickly, the landscaping was always well kept, and the apartments are beautiful! Seriously cannot recommend this place enough!!

Positive sides: quiet, close to the park, friendly staff.
Negative sides: maintenance requests aren't taken care of properly. My dryer isn't working for 5 weeks and has not been fixed. When I asked for a replacement, I faced a lot of resistance even after it has been more than a month of it not working. The electric bill has been skyrocketing because it's not working properly. Need to replace old utility machines in the units. Look into the unit you will be moving into before moving in and make... sure they're working properly. Read More
