Best Student Living Walkable to LSU
I live at Flatiron near LSU and overall it’s been a positive experience in many ways. The location is excellent, just a short walk to campus, local restaurants, and tailgating at Tiger Stadium. The apartments are modern and come with amenities like furnished units, washer/dryer in-unit, and access to clubhouse, gym, yoga studio, and pool areas. There are also study lounges and communal spaces that are great for student living. In terms of fees, all of the standard fees — such as the application fee, utility service fee, parking fees, and any pet fees are disclosed in the lease and community documents. According to public listings and the official cost disclosures, the community includes required fees like a one-time utility service fee (for things like internet and basic utilities) and optional fees such as parking or pet fees, and these are listed up front, unlike other reviews state. Customer service and management responsiveness can vary like any large community, sometimes it takes a bit of follow-up to get questions answered or concerns addressed, but in my experience issues have been handled reasonably once brought to management’s attention. Overall, I’d give Flatiron a solid recommendation for students looking for newer, convenient housing near LSU just be sure to carefully review all lease terms and fee disclosures before signing, as everything is typically spelled out in the contract.
Property Manager Responded: Hello! I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your thoughts, as we do with everyone who takes the time to give us feedback. However, I want to take an extra moment to acknowledge the thought you put into your review. We take our reputation seriously as most communities do, but the experience we deliver for people to entrust us with their home towers above that. Although it stings to see we fell short of that 5th star for you specifically, we are grateful for your honest opinion! In many ways an honest 4-stars is more useful for us than an empty 5 without any information on how we could be even better. Should you need anything at all, please contact us as info@flatironLSU.com or swing by the office to say hello. If we don't happen to connect, please know we will be striving for that 5th star regardless! Should you feel like we've earned it, please let us know! All the best, Collin Webster, General Manager.
