Jan 2018: I live in a 4 bedroom 4 bathroom townhome at Arlington. The amenities are nice but as a graduate student in STEM I will say that this place is not ideal for studying. It gets pretty noisy in the weekends or on Thursday nights. I've had 2 fights happen outside of my bedroom window happen since I've lived here. This place is geared towards a younger crowd. The kitchen is BEAUTIFUL! The living room is pretty standard but I love the hardwood flooring downstairs! The bedrooms are also VERY small I have a queen sized bed, a dress, and a nightstand and that is ALL I can fit into the bedroom. The bathroom is a tight fit as well but it's okay. I also don't like the fact that there is no community bathroom downstairs for guests if you decide to have anyone over. They must go upstairs into your bedroom to use the restroom. I think the pool and game room Review from Google Jan 2018: management employees a security guard wether knowingly or not that has been suspended by the baton rouge police department for racist remarks, his name is Donald Steele. Upon hearing of harsh tactics used by Donald Steele, I did a simple google search and discovered he had been suspended for his actions.
In these racially charged times i find it unacceptable for management to employ a security guard that also lives onsite with his history. Mr. Steele who is a black man made these racist remarks towards other police offices and was suspended for his actions. In a community that is predominantly caucasian to have a security officer with these type issues is something that needs to change immediately for the safety of the young students. I ask management to do a simple google search to verify my findings. His suspension was reported in seve Review from Google Jan 2018: Same old storey, numerous break ins and a total lack of respect of us student residents. manager Scottie White constantly treats the residents like inmates rather then with the respect we deserve as very high rent paying adult tenents, she obviously has disarming for students. Review from Google Jan 2018: Arlington is the worst off campus apartment complex I've stayed at and that's saying a lot considering I used to live at the Cottages (or now Lodges at 777). The gym is never available because the door does not work. I thought it was my key fob so I went to get it replaced and they told me it was just the door that is broken. Well it has been 6 months since I've moved in and the door has yet to be replaced. So I do not even get access to the amenities that I pay so much for. In addition, there are only 2 thermostats in a 4 person unit, which is very problematic. Also, I get charged a crazy, drastically different amount every month for utilities. Oh and finally, I had 3 packages missing. All 3 were delivered to the front office but every time I go in and ask, they say they do not have them. I have contacted UPS since then and found out they wer Review from Google Dec 2017: Probably one of the worst off campus student housing options in Baton Rouge. Definitely reconsider a more reputable place for yourself or kids. They’ve gone through more than two managers in a single year. They’re hardly ever on the same page as their residents for there are numerous problems with residents getting their cars towed and outrageous interest fee’s on residents’ accounts ($25 every 5 days is charged to your account on charges higher than $100 dollars). Also, work orders take far to long to complete. Managment seems to be friendly, but they’re hardly understanding. They live by the fine print in the lease you sign, so be sure to read it throughly!! Another thing, there has been constant break-in’s and illegal activity occurring in the Arlington Townhomes and Cottages, which managment sweeps under the rug, on pretty muc Review from Google Nov 2017: Arlington is perfect in regards to the location, the people that live there, and the staff as well! The pool is beautiful, and the staff genuinely cares; they want to see you happy. Maintenance is great, too! Joe came as early as 8 AM one morning when our water heater started acting up just to fix it. Great experience so far, I definitely recommend living here! Review from Google Jul 2017: The stay was rocky from start to finish, but at no fault to the leasing staff. In the beginning, the apartments had a lot of maintenance issues despite being brand new, but that's expected with every new complex. Once those were handled, the only reason I leave a four star review instead of a five, is the fellow residents and roommates. They do a bad job roommate matching, often pairing you with totally incompatible people. If you come here, bring your own roommates and be ready for hefty costs. On the plus side, free utilities and internet balance the expense. The pool and gym are very well designed and the club house is phenomenal. I've also never seen a more responsive and busy maintenance team, props to them. The biggest mention, however, is the property manager, who despite only just recently arriving, has worked with both me and my girlf Review from Google Oct 2016: Arlington is definitely the best apartment complex in BR. The only flaw is it is around a mile from campus, but the bus comes every 15-20 min. The pool and club house are amazing as promised and the cottages are sound and Maintenance,when needed, is very efficient.
