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.

It’s that time of year again for students to wake up from the lazy days of summer and start planning their return to school, including the inevitable back-to-school shopping. Before you head back to campus, here’s a back-to-school shopping guide for apartment renters.
Calendars: Every student should keep a calendar handy in their apartment so they are sufficiently prepared for big exams and project deadlines. Whether you prefer tabletop, wall, or fridge calendars, there are many options out there to ensure you stay on top of your schoolwork!
Clothing: Besides the library, your apartment is where you’ll be doing the most studying, especially at 1st Lake apartments that offer great extra office space. When working in your apartment, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing like t-shirts, sweatshirts, lounge pants, and slippers to make studying more enjoyable!
Groceries: As a student, your busy schedule may not allow time for cooking or grocery shopping every day, so make sure you keep your apartment stocked! A few groceries to consider buying include caffeinated and non-caffeinated beverages to keep you going and hydrated, healthy study snacks for a boost, and frozen meals for a quick dinner after a long day of getting work done.
Storage Compartments: The more back-to-school supplies you acquire, the more places you’ll need to store them. Separate containers for your desk or study table are perfect for organizing writing utensils and tools. Portable storage containers are really useful for moving heavy textbooks from room to room, as you might find more inspiration in the living room than the dining room depending on the day.
So there you have it, some basics to have around your apartment for when school’s back in session. With all these back-to-school shopping essentials and the comforts of 1st Lake Properties, you’re sure to have a successful semester back in school!

There’s not really anything like sitting poolside in the hazy days of summer, especially in New Orleans. Those of us who have lived through a summer here know that it’s not just hot in August, it’s HOT. That’s why it’s so great to step outside and take a dip in one of the great pools at many of our apartment communities. Whether just paddling around for fun on Saturday afternoon to cool off or doing some laps after work for a little low impact exercise, everyone knows the pool is the place to be this summer!
