It is a quiet and well maintained place on the Westbank. I haven't had any problems getting problems fixed in my apartment or with Management. I am close to work and shopping is about 8 minutes away. Having an Amazon Hub on premise is also very helpful and reassuring.

Pleased..
I am a current resident here at Forest Isle. I have nothing, but positive reviews to write. I love the gated community, which is surrounded by beautiful greenery and well kept landscapes. I have yet to see any rodents or encounter any issues. I had to reach out to maintenence once with a minor issue and was met with a prompt response. My apartment is equipped with a washer/dryer which I love. The office is always friendly when I have questions or concerns (Shout to Dasha). This is a wonderful... community to live in.... I am very well pleased.

Forest Isle — Our Home
We have proudly been residents of Forest Isle for 15 years, and it continues to be one of the best places we’ve ever lived.
From day one, Forest Isle has stood out for its exceptional staff, safety, cleanliness, and genuine care for residents. The leasing office team — especially Ms. Carol and Ceecee — are warm, professional, and truly know their residents. They listen, communicate clearly, and consistently work toward real solutions.
The maintenance team is outstanding: friendly, respectful,... prompt, and incredibly skilled. Whether it’s routine upkeep or emergency service, we’ve always felt safe, supported, and never left stranded. The property is beautifully landscaped, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed — from the levee paths and patios to parking improvements and clean common areas.
Forest Isle excels in community safety and communication, providing emergency alerts, reliable security, and upgraded gate access. Amenities like the resort-style pool, clean gym, Amazon Hub, dog park, and pet stations add real quality of life. Small touches — newsletters, holiday events, food days, and resident perks — show how much management values its community.
We also deeply appreciate Forest Isle’s affordability, rent stability, referral bonuses, raffles, and resident-first mindset, especially during challenging times. This is not “just another apartment complex” — it’s a place that values dignity, relationships, and long-term residents.
After 15 years, we are still grateful to call Forest Isle home and confidently recommend it to friends and family. ?????

I Enjoy Living Here!
Forest Isle Apartments has been a great place to live and call home—in fact, I have lived here twice! Once in 2020 and again in 2025. In my experience, management has been kind and helpful, and maintenance has been responsive and thorough. I have loved both of my apartments, from layouts, to the colors of the buildings, the beautiful plants and flowers, access to the levee, and the pool and splash pad. I also appreciate the sense of community here. My daughter and I have gotten to know many of... the groundskeepers and staff by name and my 3 year old daughter loves saying hello to everyone. While I understand everyone has different needs and expectations while considering places to live, Forest Isle Apartments has checked all of my boxes.
