Tradition at 777, baton-rouge-la

I honestly love living at Tradition 777. The apartments are super nice and well kept, and the whole place just has a really good vibe. The staff is always suuuuuuper friendly and helpful, which makes a huge difference !! The amenities are great, and everything is close by, so it’s really convenient. I’ve had such a good experience here and would totally recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable place to live.

Tradition 777 is amazing. My daughter is so excited about living here next year and plans on staying through college. When we toured, we had the pleasure of talking with Keke and Zee who were able to answer all of our questions right away. Every time we call in, everyone who answers is so nice and eager to help. Super excited for this chapter in her life, and confident that she's in the right place to call home.

Living at Tradition 777 feels like a humiliation ritual that I would not even wish on my worst enemy. If you are an LSU student looking for somewhere to live, I BEG you to look elsewhere, once you sign the lease you are trapped into the contract unless you find someone else to sublease your space or pay the full years rent. From the very beginning of move-in I knew something was wrong. Not only was the unit dirty with a strong musty odor-it was also not what we had pictured. They only offer tours for the lodge-style housing-not for the apartments, the space is completely different, and my room was much smaller than what I had seen on my tour. The AC units are old and filled with mold. I have had to request maintenance to have them "cleaned" out every few months for my own sanity but have been living with unending allergy symptoms since day 1. If you live on the first floor, good luck. The trash collection is right outside our door and people always leave a mess that attract bugs and rodents. Yes, the amenities are nice, but for majority of my lease I was unable to enjoy them. The AC was not working in the upstairs of the main clubhouse where they have the study areas and part of the gym. Every time I attempted to study or work out there, I would have to leave because it was unbearably hot, and it was like this for months. Unfortunately, I was stuck with the room that had the water heater which meant my closet was where they also kept the water heater. This makes it so that my closet is extremely humid/damp but it's the only space I can store my belongings. It also makes it one of the most poorly designed spaces I have ever seen. Because of the closet with the water heater and the door to my bathroom, I'm essentially stuck with the layout of the room because moving my bed anywhere else would end up blocking a door. This creates a problem because my bed is positioned beneath the moldy AC unit that blows directly on my face all night. My room and my bed always feel damp, and after weeks of having cold/flu-like symptoms I discovered that there was white mold growing on my mattress. Luckily, they replaced my mattress the next day, but I believe that this white mold is growing on the walls and in the bedrooms of my roommates. Now, for the worst part of all: the pests. This unit is INFESTED with German cockroaches that live in appliances, particularly in the kitchen where I am supposed to cook and eat. I have submitted countless pest control maintenance requests, but having some guy come and spray pesticide in a few corners every now and then does nothing to solve the root of the issue with these roaches that nest in appliances like the fridge, dishwasher and microwave and come in and out of the electrical outlets on the wall. The lack of urgency that has been met with this issue has left me feeling completely dehumanized, it's at the point that this has become a public health hazard, plain and simple. Not only has it made me feel completely and utterly disgusted, but it has ruined my sense of safety and comfort in my own living space. I have severe food aversions and avoid using the kitchen as much as possible because cooking and eating in a place infested with roaches makes me physically ill. I have spent so much of my own money buying pest-control solutions from the store in an attempt to mitigate this issue, but it seems useless because maintenance fails to address this as the systematic, long-standing issue that it is. To expect residents to pay to live in such unsanitary conditions is complete negligence.

Fine for a while until I started getting a roach a day in my room, sprayed everywhere with repellent and still one manages to appear. Drains closed, repellent sprayed, and still appear like someone summoned it.

I've lived here 3 years and have lived in 3 different units. All three units have had some issues on move in but my third and most recent until was HORRIBLE. To name some issues: Rusted through shower curtain rail, shower head, and shower handle, moldy bathroom with no caulk separating the tub from tiles, moldy sink and cabinets, the shelves were covered in the previous tenants hair and products, the light in the closet did not work, the blinds had a molded and brown substance all over them, the windowsill had dead bugs and was caked in dirt, and the walls were completely wrecked and had large portions of pain taken off. I called in a maintenance request and they fixed less than half of this. When I moved out, damages from the previous tenant were put on my move out payment checklist and I was charged 450$. When I contested this charge they told me I had no evidence and had to pay it. The tradition is exploitative to young people and use their amenities to lure students into a bad deal. What's the point of overpaying for amenities if your apartment is full of mold and is extremely damaged. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else. Attaching photos of the unit I moved into.
