Nov 2019: Nice clean, friendly staff and awsome place to live in a great location Review from Google
Nov 2019: Best Near-Campus Apartments by far. They put every other place to shame. Surveillance allows peace of mind, always clean, management has thorough communication and assistance. Go here, well worth it! Review from Google
Oct 2019: I’ve lived at SouthGate the last 3 years. Out of all the management that I’ve come in contact with, Lacey and her staff have been phenomenal and the absolute best. She always makes it a point to greet and acknowledge all residents she sees even outside the office. She seriously knows everyone’s name who lives here. You won’t get the exceptional customer service anywhere else around here. I promise you that. Review from Google
Sep 2019: What’s the point of having a gate if someone is going to dent it every other week Review from Google
Jun 2019: I've lived here for two years and I can't recommend it enough! Amazing leasing staff that cares about its residents and AWESOME maintenance crew that goes above and beyond. Most everything is fixed within the day, and if it isn't, it's only ever because they have to order a part, and then it is fixed the second that part arrives. Beautiful spaces with stained floors and high ceilings, new appliances, and concrete walls! The concrete walls basically make the apartments soundproof so it makes the complex so peaceful to reside in. I am so sad I have to move out of here, they have been so nice to live with. It is without question the best apartment complex close to campus.
Disclaimer: I've read over some of the other reviews here, and I have never experienced anything close to any of the issues that people complain about; honestly some of these might be about a different complex that got accidentally listed under this one because there's no way it's the same complex.

Feb 2019: Definitely the nicest place I’ve lived around campus. Very spacious, high ceilings, stained concrete flooring. It’s a little pricey but there are a lot of apartment complexes charging the same amount for less- so overall this is your best bet. Be aware of the inexpensive units here. If the price they quote you seems too good to be true it probably is. When I first moved in they tried to put me in an inexpensive one bedroom unit- the balcony was falling apart and they said they couldn’t do anything about it. It was a safety hazard. There were paint splashes everywhere. Extremely small. Appliances barely functioned.
I moved to a bigger unit and although it came with a price jump, it’s definitely worth it. The staff is pretty helpful and accommodating especially compared to other campus housing. Also- PARKING!!!! There’s so much of it!! It’s amazing.
Probably the only apartment I’d reccomend around campus.
Jan 2019: Love it here. Great front desk staff and amazing amenities/location. Only thing I'd improve is the maintenance staff—they’re very friendly, but a lot of the work orders that I’ve put in haven’t been resolved, or don’t find solutions until more than one work order has been put in.
If you're an LSU student, these are the best apartments for you.

Oct 2018: Maintenance takes forever and barely makes an effort to fix any problems. Front office doesn’t respond when problems arise. Lazy staff. Nice apartments but lazy staff. Review from GoogleJul 2018: If there was a no star option that is what I would pick because one of the employees at this property is so absolutely horrible and she disrespected me and my family. She is the reason I will never do anything with this property or associate myself with this property in any way. Review from Google
May 2018: Moving out next week after spending 4 amazing years here. This place is honestly so amazing if you want to be close to campus and have a really nice apartment you should live here. Lacey is also one the most amazing people to work with when you need anything at all. I read a few of these other reviews and honestly have never experienced anything like that at Southgate. TBH it's most likely people who didn't pay rent and just want to complain about everything. As far a security goes, the garage has 2 gates to pass through before getting in and each door has a scanner to let you in. I've seen it down twice in the 4 years I lived here and it because people pulled the fire alarm both times. Review from GoogleJun 2017: I lived in Southgate for 3 years while at LSU. Nice place to live close to campus. Had terrible experience with the staff when living there and after moving out. I felt like they were tricky and untrustworthy. Recently, I spoke with someone that was helpful and helped me solve my problem. The new management seems to be a lot more dedicated to the happiness of their residents. Review from GoogleMay 2017: My family and I have lived here since around September of 2016. I love the apartment itself, the only thing I don't like is the partying on the weekends from the nearby bars. Non of which the actual apartment can control. However last night 5-23-17 someone decided to steal our penguin welcome mat in front of our door. I know what you're probably thinking, ok so what it was a welcome mat go buy another one. I have two children ages 2 and 3 who actually depend on this mat to tell which apartment is ours and have come to love it. With it being a Christmas mat I didn't know if I would be able to purchase another one and that is why I was upset. My daughters were so upset by it being taken that they literally cried. I went to the office, gave the time frame it was taken. The gentleman,please forgive me I don't remember your name, was very nice.i la Review from GoogleMar 2017: I have rented at Southgate since August 2015, I have been very satisfied with everything. It is very safe, the office staff especially Kenea are very helpful and professional. The maintenance staff are professional and prompt. I especially like the attached parking garage, especially when it's raining.
Review from 3/5/17 on Apartment RatingsFeb 2017: For the money spent to stay here, the service could be better. You might as well save your money for a house. The staff is only sincere when it deals with money issues. Maintenance is horrible. Very displeased with my stay here overall.
Review from 2/12/17 on Apartment RatingsDec 2016: So far, everyone in the complex as well as the staff has been extremely friendly and welcoming. Our room is absolutely beautiful and everything we were expecting. We love all of the space and finishings and can not wait to live here for the next year and a half.

Dec 2016: XXXX is absolutely amazing! She is very informative and productive while allowing everyone to still feel very comfortable. I constantly hear great compliments about her, and I clearly know why! She is involved and interested with each resident. She makes sure everyone is satisfied with their services! She truly makes Southgate Towers a better place.
Review from 12/6/16 on Apartment RatingsDec 2016: The staff at Southgate are all very friendly and helpful. We had a mix up on move in day but the staff quickly worked to get everything resolved and get us in a unit. When we got into our apartment, everything was very clean. Everything worked as expected. The parking garage great to have, the location is excellent, and so far we haven't had any issues with noise or anything.
Review from 12/4/16 on Apartment RatingsAug 2016: I lived here for my four years of graduate school (1 yr -- 1BR, 1BA; 3 yrs -- 2BR, 2BA) and enjoyed the experience the entire time. The location is close to the LSU campus (including the athletic facilities), downtown Baton Rouge, Tigerland, and several shopping centers. One downside is that occasionally the noise from Tigerland can be heard in the apartments, although that comes with the proximity. Having a parking garage that allowed me to exit my car on the same floor has my apartment made bringing in items and groceries easy. In my experiences, the leasing office and maintenance staff was always professional and courteous. Review from Google
Nov 2015: The only reason that I am giving this place one star is because it's not possible to give it zero. To anyone reading this review, I implore you to live somewhere else in Baton Rouge other than Southgate Towers. The single positive aspect about this place is it's proximity to campus, which is the only reason that I chose to live here despite many people advising me otherwise. I have never had to deal with more horrendously rude and incompetent people in my life than the office staff at Southgate Towers. If you live here, expect to be disrespected or just flat out ignored any time you have a question or request for the office staff, and then subsequently fined hundreds of dollars, without explanation, for issues that they refused to work with you on straightening out. If you do choose to live here, I hope that you either have a lot of money Review from GoogleMay 2015: The place is great. While it is on the pricier side, the amenities that are included in the rent make it worth it. I lived in a one bedroom apartment and I never felt too cramped or anything of that nature. My neighbors ranged from college students to young professionals to even families. Noise was never really an issue, except for a couple of nights, but that is almost always the case with apartments in a college town.
The staff were great about following up with any issues I may have had. Overall, it was a great experience. Review from Google
