First thing i want to say to anyone reading these reviews is, to take the YES comments in to more account than the NO comments. you have to realize most of the time poeple dont review things until they get mad so you never see that many good comments anywhere in Baton Rouge. Now for my review: This complex gives you the BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. its really nicely located as long as your not driving back and forth to zachary everyday like my girlfriend is. i got my first apt when in 2007 and have jumped from one to another every 6 months to a years because i hated something there but not her. THE STAFF is always nice, friendly,and caring. anytime i every had a problem i just talked to someone and as them to help me and they always made reasonable accomidations. the MAINTENENCE staff has alwys been answering my calls the same day i put them in ad the problems has always been fixed on the first try. well up until recently they hired a NEW guy and when i called to get my a/c checked becuase it was blowing heat he came and just recharged it because that was all he knew how to do. but i called back and when he came back i made sure he came inside and he called for help and they got it fixed within minutes. i think he was fired cuz i havnet seen him around here anymore. but other than that i never had any problems. I love this complex, i mean LOVE this complex i would never leave. i'm a young person who hasnt finished college yet and when searching for an apartment around baton rouge you find that if its cheap its always in "the hood". and if you try to look for something not in the hood you find that one bedrooms start at $700 or more most places and are small. not to mention that most one bedrooms ,almost all, in baton rouge dont have W/D connections. my girlfriend lived in park east apts on sharp ln. and she was paying $505 for her one bed room while i was paying $599 for mine. when we decided to move in together she wanted me to mine in with her since hers was cheaper and i almost did but. her one bedroom was MUCH smaller than mine plus she didn't have w/d connections. for you guys who haven't done the math it really does add up to about $120 a month on laundry alone. that meant staying at her apt we'd be paying $625 vs 599. plus my apt being bigger, having a fireplace SIX POOLS and a laundry facility. not to mention her apt was cheap because it was "hood adjacent" and mine is always safe. it was a obvious choice that sherwood acres was better for us. so now its time to move cuz of my has girl finished college and her job is in zachary. but apt hunting sucks because if i hold anything up to the standard of living i have grown accustomed to here nothing matches up. i'm finding places in baker are all hood as hell and i refuse to pay what i'm paying here to live there. here i see what my 600 dollars buy me every month. but i went to baker trails and the apts are 690sqft vs my 750sqft, its hood as hell there, and they only have washer connects, no dryer. why in the hell would i pay 600 to stay there vs here. they said i would have to get it installed my self plus the "connections" are in your living room so anytime i wash clothes i would be having to worry about the noise from them. but here at Sherwood acres i have a whole laundry room with a door that i can close so than i hear no noise. just saying at this price nobody is beating the size or the features you get from having this apt. plus ive lived in baton rouge my whole life this is the only apt ive lived at that no one is getting shot at on a daily basis, or at all actually, cops arent busting down doors theres. there was one demestic dipuste when i moved to this apt an but theres cops who live close by and the people got evicted and the apt complex even fix the windows the couple broke instead of just putting boards over it like some of the other apts ive lived at
