The Laurel Apartments

So it looks like the laurel has managed to have the honest reviews removed. That would explain the 5 star rating because, believe me when I say this is NOT 5 star material. I really wanted to add some pictures just to show you what is really out here as an amenity but there is no place to do that. So, I will just say, look at the common areas before you sign. The area behind the 100 building is very telling. The picnic table is falling apart, literally. The water in the fountain is green.… with algae. or bacteria or something so there is a terrible mosquito problem. The grills we have access too are covered in rust. The pools were locked up all summer. All 3 of them. 2 remained covered the whole season. The price you pay for rent is just the base rate. Your lease bill won't be that number. There are add-on charges for basically everything they can possibly add. I don't mind paying for the water and sewer use. I DO mind paying for the water for irrigation. That's not something we agreed to in our lease but it didn't take long to figure out when a different building had a major leak and OUR water bill went up considerably. Think long and hard. There are too many apartments out there for basically the same money that DO offer amenities. And you don't have to beat the thieves to your packages when they are dropped in the floor of the gym instead of being delivered to you. Read More

Resident from July 2020 - July 2021

Everything about my experience here was great, from the management, to the maintenance people, to the apartment itself. I would've lived here forever if I didn't want out of St. Louis lol

Whether it is work, school, or life in general that draws you to living downtown St. Louis, you cannot go wrong at the Laurel. It has all the amenities of a hotel with room service, dry cleaning, a workout facility, and a highly professional staff: to the serenity of the interior court yard that turns away the city's noise for an afternoon BBQ with friends or quite time with a favored book while catching a tan. I lived there 2 years and was sad to move away.
