We moved in recently to a one bedroom apartment. It's so home-y and cozy already. I'm super impressed with the scenery, the pool, and how easy the move-in process was. Sara in the front desk has been so helpful in finding us our apartment. I highly recommend checking these out.


By Arthur Juneau, Nov 04, 2021 from Google

The Willow Creek rental team is absolutely amazing and as helpful as can be.


By Bre b, Aug 07, 2021 from Google

I’ve lived at Willow Creek for about 3 months. The staff are so professional and caring. The property is kept up so nicely. The only thing that I’ve had problems with is that my upstairs neighbors constantly stomp around and vacuum until midnight. The staff said they have been notified multiple times but they still proceed. I would recommend a third floor apartment if you want quiet.


By Kendrea Burks, Apr 01, 2021 from Google

Ms. Sara has been wonderful to our family, especially after a tough 2020 year . She was diligent and respectful about leasing an apartment.


By Chuck Bowie, Feb 01, 2021 from Google

Sarah in the rental office was very helpful and personable. The apartment was clean and didn’t need and major maintenance right off. Move in was easy. Looking forward to my time at this property.


By DaQuan Cross, Nov 10, 2020 from Google

It’s very quiet they have the best stuff they are helpful and makes sure your good on everything I recommend this place


By M Isaac, Nov 09, 2020 from Google

Love Willow Creeks I have lived in the Willow Creek apartments for over 4 years, and love living here. My experience has been wonderful. Maintenance always done quickly and efficiently. Staff always respond to emails and are very kind and helpful. Lovely surroundings and tranquil creeks flowing throughout.

By Rayburn T., Sep 22, 2020 from Apartments

Apartment resident I've lived at Willow Creek Apartments now for almost 3 years, and I can say it has been a pleasant experience. The grounds are well kept, and office administrators have been extremely helpful. The complex is quiet, and all issues are addressed promptly. If you are considering these apartments, you won't be disappointed.


By India Brooks, Mar 15, 2020 from Google

Initially when I walked in the office there wasn’t a very inviting vibe. And whenever I’m shopping for anything that really matters to me. I decided to check everything out anyway. The representative opened up a little more so my initial feelings begin to subside a little. Before my tour begin the representative realized she did not have the key and could not show me a unit but she called over to another apartment with the same floor plan and asked if I could see. They said yes. When I got to Oak Creek, I found that the rep seemed a little more welcoming and chill. She immediately showed me a unit and she asked engaging questions to find exactly what I was looking for and wanted/needed. The model apartment was great! I loved the floor plan, and although I thought to myself that the kitchen could be updated a little, everything else was perfect and just what I had in mind, so the cons of the kitchen was overthrown. I loved the high ceilings in the rooms, the sunroof windows in the masters bedroom, and the European-style, deep, oval tub in the master bedroom as well! I was completely sold except the price was about $100 more than my max budget, which Willow Creek gave wiggle-room to my max budget, and the move in date was further out than I needed it to be. As we were exiting the unit I complimented how nicely the apartment was furnished and the rep even gave me a brochure with information to Cortz Furniture and said that everything was pretty much from there. We went back to the office. Although she clearly knew that I was in love with the appt, she also by that time already knew my budget and move in date expectations and she did not push me to try to change my mind or do anything I truly did not want. But what she did do was call a few of the other complexes to see if someone else had pretty much the same thing she had to offer but within my budget and a sooner move in date, which there wasn’t but I truly appreciated her help! I went back to Willow Creek and the second time I felt a better welcome-in vibe. The representative asked questions and I was honest and so was she, stating to me that she thought she would lose me to Oak after seeing their apartment. She was ready to show me an apartment by then. We went up to the 3rd level, and it turns out she still had the wrong key but the 3rd times a charm, I guess. 😊 When she returned, I was allowed into the apartment, but there wasn’t the same wow-factor I had with Oak if I’m being honest. The apartment was just ok. The floor plan is very close to Oak’s. There’s a few inconsistencies. The kitchen seemed even more outdated than Oak’s, and I was losing my sunroof windows in the master bathroom and the European style tub in the master as well, which I will say that before the rep sent me to Oak to view, she did tell me that the only difference was that Willow did not have the European-style, oval tub. I didn’t think it would make that much difference, but honestly, it really does! 😊 One thing I did prefer in Willow though in comparison to Oak was that the closet in the master bedroom was actually separate from the bathroom. I wasn’t all the way sure about how I felt having the closet kinda inside the bathroom at Oak and Cypress, which I’d also viewed the day before. At the end of it all, Willow sold me because of the move in date!!! I was initially told I wouldn’t be able to move in for almost another 3-4 weeks, which I could have worked but was trying to avoid prorating rents at both the apartment I was leaving and the apartment I was moving in. Once I was told that I could move in the apartment before the month was out, to me I took that as a deciding factor, and sealed the deal with Willow. Plus Willow was within my budget! Oak Creek almost got me though, had there have been a sooner move in date, I was seriously considering going over my max budget by another $50 or so to get exactly what I wanted, well with the exception of the closet/bathroom thingy. 😊 Anyway, I hope this novel helps make someone else’s decision a little easier. Good Luck to all future residents!!!

I have been a resident at the Willow Creek apartments for over an year now and I absolutely enjoy the community the neighborhood and the over all environment of the complex. Maintenance is always prompt and professional. The Leasing office is always ready to assist however they may and are very attentive to any issues brought up by the residents! In short, you'll be very happy living here either for a short lease of 6 months or long term as well!


By Angelo Dimitriou, Jun 28, 2016 from Google

We loved living there. Safe, clean, green, quiet, well managed and maintained! Would recommend!


By Atiya Shahid, Jul 21, 2015 from Google

I moved into Willow Creek about 6 months ago, and I have had nothing but great experiences. When there are problems I tell the front office and my problem is usually rectified either that day or the next. I have even recommended the complex to others who have moved in and love the complex as well!


By katherine Pennington, Nov 04, 2014 from Google

I have lived at Oak Creek Apartment for about 3 years and loving it !!! The Office Staff are very professional and incredibly Helpful!! These Apartments are very well maintained and the landscaping is unbelievable!! A great place for children and pets to call it a Home. Wonderful location between Kenner, Metairie, and Uptown.....


By M.K. Femme, Jul 02, 2014 from Google

I discovered Willow Creek on the internet and have lived there for over 10 years, and have enjoyed my stay, overall. There is almost no noise (except for the occasional snoring neighbor or a kid screaming), we have award-winning landscaping, maintenance has always been A+, the location is prime access to to the CBD via Earhart Expressway and to the Westbank. Only recently have I been alerted to any safety issues, namely auto break-ins, but JPSO is on it! The staff could use some sensitivity training and a communications class or two, but are mostly helpful and attentive. And, in a market that doesn't always give you bang for your buck, Willow Creek has remained steady and reasonable on rental rates. I've had two friends join the community since I arrived and they have also had a good living experience at Willow Creek.


By Fathead Dave, May 31, 2014 from Google

Very convenient for me (2.5 mi to work vs 60 miles at previous residence. Issues are fixed in a timely manner. Priced decently for location.


By Earl Hunt, May 31, 2014 from Google

The best complex that I have ever lived in. The management team is very courteous and the landscaping is beautiful. I would recommend this complex to anyone.


By Lyndon LaBeaud Jr., May 29, 2014 from Google

I moved in to Willow Creek about 2 months ago, and I absolutely love it. About a year before relocating to the New Orleans area, I looked at several apartment homes before finding Willow Creek, but I instantly fell in love with the area and the apartments, and knew exactly where I wanted to be when I moved to New Orleans. The complex is quiet, and the grounds are well kept. The inside of the apartment is spacious, with plenty of storage space. The location is ideal if you are looking for a small-town feel in a larger city.
