Park Place Baton Rouge

If you are looking for a place to roll out of bed and get to PMH in under 10 minutes, this is the apartment for you. Park Place is more on the undergraduate side, but if you room with other law students, then it is a great experience. In the fall when it finally gets chilly, then walking to campus is a lovely 15-minute walk.

I have lived at Park Place for two years now and am planning on renewing my lease for my 3L year. I really love living here. It is relatively quiet, aside from Saturday nights. I have never felt unsafe here, either. The parking garage is gated, the main entrance doors are only unlocked by fingerprint, and the apartment doors are inside the building, rather than facing outside. I haven't had too many issues. Maintenance requests are completed promptly. I will say that the apartment is a little rowdy sometimes due to the mass population being undergrads. There have been a few instances of people pulling false fire alarms. This year, my upstairs neighbor is a little louder than the last one. But overall, I have no trouble going to sleep, studying, or having a quiet night in!

I have lived here 3 years and my siblings lived here years before and throughout each year the management and the quality of the property and the residents continues to decline. I have had many issues this year and as a loyal customer for the past 3 years, I assumed they’d be taken seriously and would want to assist me but that wasn’t the case. They continue to ignore me or refuse to provide any assistance. I will be moving out at the end of my lease and will warn those who are thinking of living here.

Great management! They fix any problems quickly, if you even have any. Super easy to work with. Property is cleaned on a regular basis. Community events are great for students. Fantastic gym and courtyards. Fingerprints are required to get into any door, so very secure.

I have had the best experience here! The people are friendly, quick with fixing things. And rent covers trash valet meaning you don’t have to take it out you just sit it outside your door and they pick it up. I really like that. As a woman I feel safe here. It is a good area and a decent distance from campus it takes me about 10-15 minutes. I really like it here!

My experience at Park Place has been very good, but because it's a large complex, not everyone has the same experience.

Pros: I have a sixth floor view of Tiger Stadium, live down the hall from a gym, pool, hot tub, sauna and outdoor lounge area with grills, and am next door to the study lounge, which boasts floor to ceiling windows that look out at Tiger Stadium. Also, every bedroom has its own bathroom.

Cons: The rooms are not very spacious, and it is inhabited mostly by freshmen and sophomores, meaning that the place can get rowdy sometimes.

The private owner is a nice retired woman who is flexible. Upgraded the apartment with granite. Reasonably taken care of. Since each unit is independently owned some other units are much less well taken care of and attract pests.
