Your pet will be just as – if not more – comfortable as you living at 1st Lake Properties. Before you settle in with your little furry one, the following is everything you need to know about bringing a pet with you to any of 1st Lake’s pet friendly apartment communities.
Our newest apartment community, Bella Ridge, features an on-site dog park known as Bella Bark. The convenience of having an on-site, safe space for your pup to play right outside your door is an added bonus of the many luxuries you’ll experience at Bella Ridge.
The garbage disposal is one of man’s most brilliant inventions. It can make kitchen scraps disappear in seconds, avoiding a weighty, smelly trash can. But before you think about sticking that pineapple top down the garbage disposal, think again. Believe it or not, kitchen sink garbage disposals are not black holes for your daily discards and it’s important to know just exactly how they function.
Garbage disposals are not indestructible, and at the same time can cause a lot of destruction if not used properly. The machines can be very convenient, but only for obliterating certain kitchen scraps. Don’t try to toss the remaining shells from a New Orleans crawfish boil into the garbage disposal, or any starchy, stringy vegetables like asparagus, artichokes and kale. Make sure to keep metal utensils or any kind of hardware clear of the garbage disposal – or you’ll wind up with mangled silverware!
So what can the garbage disposal do? It’s capable of eliminating almost any food waste except for any fibrous materials that will wrap around the blades, causing them to tangle and the drain to clog. It can accept coffee grinds, egg shells and citrus peels (that act as a natural air freshener!) but not whole lemons, limes and oranges.
What’s better than sampling dozens of tasty craft brews and grazing on delicious local fare? Knowing it all goes to benefit an important cause that positively affects everyone! All of this can be accomplished at the East Jefferson General Hospital’s Up on the Roof beer tasting on Friday, October 12.
From 7-10 p.m. on the EJGH’s garage roof, there will be a diverse selection of local, national and international beers to taste with food from the area’s best restaurants. If that weren’t enough to entice you, New Orleans rock band Bag of Donuts will lend their musical talents for the night’s entertainment.
More than a fabulous roof party, this event will support the EJGH in their commitment to provide the highest quality health care to its patients. The proceeds from Up on the Roof will go towards funding the hospital’s goals for specialized patient care, obtaining advanced medical technology and expanding special services and projects.
Advanced tickets are $40 or $50 at the door. With excellent beer, gourmet cuisine and such a worthy cause to take part in, there’s no way this party won’t be a hit!

Looking for extra storage space? 1st Lake Properties can help you. Storage space – or the lack thereof – should definitely not be overlooked when considering renting an apartment and can prove to be a luxury amenity.
Fortunately, 1st Lake Properties has you covered when it comes to spacious closets and storage space. There are excellent 1st Lake Properties apartments in Metairie that offer roomy closets to hold your wardrobes for all seasons and then some. Check out the Lost Bayou and Surfrider apartment communities.
For those who have too many personal possessions than they know what to do with, there are great, convenient storage solutions. It all comes down to utilizing your available space. The bathroom is typically the smallest room in an apartment, and for some, holds the most items. Hanging racks and baskets are easy fixes to store toiletries and towels.
For the kitchen, magnets can be your friend. There are great magnetic spice racks – which can also be used to hold other small metal objects – that can be applied to cabinets to create more space. Cord control can become a difficult household issue to deal with, but with handy hanging organizers, you won’t have any problems.
1st Lake apartments not only have ample inside storage, but outside storage as well. Many of our apartment communities feature garages where you can park your car and store all the extra belongings that you do not need on a daily basis.
Brewster Commons in Covington features garages with extra large doors. The Villas of Laketown apartments in Kenner, just a stone’s throw away from New Orleans, offer outside storage space with their attached garages.
Still need extra space? Check out Metairie Mini Storage just off of Cleary in Metairie for additional storage space that you can rent on a monthly basis. Call today for monthly rentals: 504-455-8644.
