The Garage Apartments

One of the best apartments I’ve lived in. Everything in the building was kept up with very well. Sean, who is over the maintenance did an amazing job. So friendly and helpful. It’s also a great building, being able to park on your floor is very convenient. The apartments were built very well, never heard our neighbors, and overall was just a great apt. Also, I had a great experience with the management company. They were very communicative and would quickly respond.

**Disappointing Experience with Unprofessional Realtor** I recently had an extremely unpleasant experience trying to view apartments through a realtor, and I feel compelled to share it. From the moment I reached out to inquire about viewing a property, the agent's attitude was nothing short of unhelpful and downright rude. When I called to schedule an appointment, I was met with impatience and condescension. It seemed like my interest in the property was more of an inconvenience to her than anything else. She barely listened to my questions and responded with short, dismissive answers. When I asked for more details about the apartments, she seemed annoyed, almost as if I was bothering her. The real kicker came when I tried to schedule an actual viewing. The realtor gave me conflicting information about availability, then proceeded to speak to me in a tone that was harsh and dismissive. I felt as though I was being treated like a nuisance, rather than a potential client. There was no effort to make the process easy or even polite. I was left feeling frustrated, disrespected, and unappreciated. I understand that real estate can be a busy field, but basic courtesy and professionalism should never be sacrificed. It's unfortunate that a simple apartment search turned into such a negative experience. I would absolutely not recommend this realtor to anyone—if this is the kind of treatment they offer, I can only imagine how much worse things would be if I had actually signed a lease through them. Buyer (or renter) beware—there are much more respectful and professional agents out there who will value your time and your business.

Where to begin? I have lived in the building for just over two years. This is an excellent place to live. Extremely safe, very quiet, and the folks who work in/with the building are superb! Earlier this year, in the days following Hurricane Ida, staff from the building were ever present and ensured the building and those few who stayed behind were (1) safe and (2) had whatever supplies they needed (to the greatest extent possible). Who does that? The Garage does that. What price do you put on safety, especially in NOLA? Parking here is in what has to be the most secure garage in the city. A number of units have large balconies with great sunset views. I wouldn't change a thing.

Look no further if you're looking for quiet, safe, and well-designed apartments. The Garage is unique for its parking arrangement, of course - or where else in Nola do you have a car elevator to your floor! - but the true luxury is the team that manages the building. Repairs happen almost immediately, common areas are always clean, and they even fix a leak on the roof during a hurricane (true story!). Can't say enough good things about our little oasis in the city.

I have had an apartment in The Garage for almost a year now and really like it. The building is run by a great group of people – Sean & Dena being at the top of that list. The neighborhood is great – with easy access to the CBD and all the great restaurants within walking distance. Secure parking & keyless entry are added bonuses (the parking is the best offering of any building in city). Highly recommend.

Wow, a bad review from someone who has never lived here?... I actually live in this building, so I am actually qualified to give a valid opinion of this building, its staff, and what it's like to live here compared to other places I've lived in over 35 years of renting and home ownership locally and elsewhere around the country. The staff in this building are exemplary; Curtis, Dena, and Dan are warm, friendly, responsive, and helpful in every way. Any brief encounter that left someone feeling any other way proves only the lack of ongoing actual experiences with the staff, as compared to those of us who live here and do actually experience the staff on an ongoing basis. This is a great place to live, it is convenient to many of the things that make New Orleans what it is; the street car line runs out front, the river, the Dome, the FQ, the CBD, the museums, and much of the area's best dining are an easy walk from here. The building might also be the safest in town. We are surrounded by 12 inches of concrete on 5 sides and 135mph impact-resistant glass on the other. It's completely quiet in our bedroom all night, every night. Our cars are indoors and 4 floors off the ground. I don't even put the top up on my convertible because it is safely indoors, it doesn't even get sunlight or dust. The clubroom is nice, the pool area is nice. There's a steam room and a sauna. The pool has a jet you can turn on so you can swim against a current without making laps. Our appliances had never been used when we moved in. This is a great place to live, take it from an actual resident of the building.

I searched exhaustively for a clean, secure apartment here in the city - never found anything that actually looked or (yuck) smelled clean as advertised until I came to tour The Garage. From the start, I was greeted so warmly by all the staff, starting with my initial phone and texts concerning my needs/wants for the ideal apt. Dena has a clear vision and listened intently, guiding me. Another staff member, Curtis greeted me warmly when I arrived and patiently showed me different apts on each floor and both that faced the streetcar line in front and the great views of the bridge and city in the rear facing side. The lobby was amazingly clean and the elevators immaculate. Each floor has only outward facing apts which is not only unique but affords every dweller a great view. On the top floor is located the outside barbecues, quality grills with equally appointed seating. There’s a waist deep pool where soaking at the end of the day has been great! There is an enclosed lounge with a service counter and seating for parties and get together along with the gym equipment including treadmill, recumbent bike (my fave), free weights and a multi-use piece of equipment don’t know what it’s called but you can do many strength training exercises. I was greeted warmly by a couple of residents who were soaking up sun! Additionally, there is a steam room and separate sauna!! I have lived here 8 months now and couldn’t imagine a more secure building from both storms and otherwise. Okay, you get I love it here, but by far the best feature for me is the security and ease of driving into the building. I have a key fob - push the button and it raises a large metal fence to gain entrance. Then I just pull up to the info screen, press the next button on the fob that recognizes my floor and instructs me which of the 2 vehicle elevators is available to me - yes, for my car! I drive into the lift and it delivers me right to my floor! I’m on the fifth floor so I’ve got time to get my things together too! The elevator doors open and I drive right to my own parking space, just a few steps from my door! The door to my apartment is opened either by an app on my phone or a numerical digit access code I can enter. This is not only safe and secure but a great convenience. My 2 bedroom apt faces the bridge and the river with wall to wall glass and sliding doors that open onto the balcony that also stretches the entire width of the apartment. The stove and dishwasher appliances are along one wall with a huge moveable island that sits 3-4 stools easily. The full size washer and dryer get a workout with all my towels and bedding. Everything is top notch here with lots a additional lighting and room sconces and the most closets I’ve ever seen. Very sleek and nothing fussy. I have to mention the unending amount of hot water to take long showers and soaks in the tub! Btw, water is included in the rent… ;) Sorry for the novel I’ve written here - ‘Ode to the Garage’ …but it just wouldn’t do this great building a service if nearly everything weren’t listed here. Great thanks to everyone who works here and maintains this awesome living experience for us to enjoy!

Great place to live the staff is wonderful always helpful and alert and the security of the building and garage is extreme safe as that was a priority in living in New Orleans. Never had a problem on anything during our first lease here while our house was being repaired and now returning again to the garage due to ida.

Location, location, location! This apartment complex is in the perfect location and amenities are lovely! Located in the Warehouse District steps away from the CBD + Quarters. The views from the units are so nice overlooking the city. Staff was helpful when inquiring about leasing. This apartment also has a car elevator-- hello! Can we say convince? I would recommend to anyone looking to be close to everything but not directly in the craziness of the city.
