I moved to the Terraces of Metairie II from Denver, Colorado in November of 2010. I chose the Terraces, sight unseen because they have a pet friendly policy and my older, 50 lb. dog was welcome. I have not been disappointed at all in my choice of residences.
The Terraces is a friendly, well maintained apartment complex and I have made a number of good friends, here. I find the atmosphere, the staff, and the other tennants quite refreshing. It is a family oriented and kid friendly complex and it's been very enjoyable to share the pool and common areas with families and young people who enjoy children, pets, and the greater New Orleans area.
The pool, hot tub, fitness center and barbeque facilities are generally well maintained. I enjoy my apartment and most apartments have a small patio or balcony that can be enjoyed.
There is good parking, I feel safe and secure, there are no roach or rodent problems and the few, minor things I've reported as being a problem, have been fixed in a professional and timely fashion.
I would highly recommend this complex to anyone looking for a safe and secure home.
