The apartments were clean, the grounds kept, and I didn't see any thing that presented safety concerns.

By Francisco Garcia, Sep 23, 2022 from Google

i love the area and i love how friendly everyone is !!!!

By Marissa Alford, Sep 16, 2022 from Google

I am here leaving my second review for this apartment complex. This is how much they deserve it. On my last night of living here due to me moving out of state, I look back on this place being my home and a place filled with peace. I read all of the bad reviews on here and it’s sad to see when I’ve had such a positive experience. I think other people’s situations were unfortunate. It could have happened anywhere. These people work hard and it shows! I hope other residents have had the same positive experience that I’ve had.

My neighbors are super great and always respectful of other tenants. I have had a good experience with the management too. The location of the complex is accessible to all areas of Metairie/New Orleans quickly.

Best place to live. Maintenance is superb and office staff could not be nicer. Have lived her for years

By Gnanesh Y, Apr 20, 2020 from Google

This is one of the best place to live in Orleans area, the place is clean and close to restaurants,shopping etc., the community is clean, rental office clearly knows how to talk, respect residents. Maintenance is really good and doesn't take too much time to respond to work orders.

By Marissa Alford, Mar 18, 2020 from Google

I have been living at Citrus Creek East for about 7 months now and I have had nothing but positive experiences. I had several appliances break on me unexpectedly and they were fast to come out and replace them with new ones. Every maintenance request have been responded to within 24 hours. I know people talk about the gate not working half the time, but I haven’t ever had an issue getting into the gate. If it does break where it won’t close for the night, they will repair it. Apartment gates are fickle. It happens. Every person in the office has been super friendly and always accommodating. They even gave us a bag of cookies for Christmas. Most apartments don’t do those sort of things, so I appreciate all this team does! Highly recommend these apartments!

Great place to live

By Keon Dillon, Jan 29, 2020 from Google

I moved into Citrus Creek two months ago, and I've enjoyed my time here immensely. The staff have been extremely helpful from day one. The apartment complex is very safe, quiet, and has a neighborly feel. Kenny Ruiz, one of their Leasing Consultants, has always been very helpful with answering any questions or addressing any concerns that I had. I also really like that they hold community events, like "Taco Tuesday" that encourage residents to get to know each other. I would definitely recommend living here to the young professional looking for a quiet area in a very convenient location. It's very close to the Earhart highway, which makes the trip to New Orleans less than ten minutes. I work at Tulane, and it takes less than 15 minutes every morning for me to get to the office.

By reshell lambert, Dec 30, 2019 from Google

I've been a Citrus Creek East residence since December 2015. The staff has always been courteous, prompt and professional. Whatever my needs have been whatever time it was requested, the staff has taken care of me and my family. The grounds are beautifully kept and the scenery is very quiet and serene. The landscaped is groomed for picturesque moments. I used the plush grounds as my background scenery for my live college graduation pictures. It is my pleasure to call Citrus Creek my home.

By Karen Nola Woman, Dec 24, 2019 from Google

We LOVED this location!! The closet space is awesome! We lived here for 3.5 years and only moved because we found a house. It is conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants. The buildings and grounds are regularly maintained. (We received new window blinds even though we had no problems with our old ones) And any maintenance issues are addressed within hours. There is a nice, clean fitness center and and an outdoor walking track. The complex is divided into quadrants and each quadrant has a huge, lush courtyard with a little river, gazebo and a beautiful pool. All are meticulously maintained. This is a great complex!
