Great building and neighborhood (Lower Garden District) to live in NOLA! Resident at Josephine four years and loved my entire time as a resident! Great and helpful maintenance staff and building-leasing agent has been great. Easy to reach and extremely helpful. Building has a great pool and gym as well. Roof top-sky patio has the best view in NOLA! HIGHLY recommended Josephine Lofts and the Lower Garden for NOLA living !

Love this property! Love the exposed brick, large windows, and reclaimed wood flooring. The rooftop has spectacular views of the city. Our manager is always professional and very helpful. Great place to live and entertain!

This was the first property I visited before moving to New Orleans in 2015 and I feel in love with, and I’ve been a residence since. The property is extremely well maintained. The grounds are immaculate. The on site security system (cameras) works extremely well and make me feel safe. The rooftop terrace has excellent views of New Orleans. The office and maintenance staff have always been extremely professional and quick to respond and/or fix any request. The property is in the perfect location to any and all needs of New Orleans. It’s soooooooo quiet on the property!!! Overall, I see myself residing here for a while.

Moved in sight unseen, only saw pictures before moving day. Josephine lofts is everything I hoped it would be and more! Location is insanely convenient to everywhere, safe and gated parking next to building, amazing pet park, very clean and well kept common areas, outdoor landscaping/pet park/pool, and hallways. My apartment is a dream apartment. There is so much charm and character, I never want to move! The landlord is very attentive and handles maintenance requests right away. I cannot say enough about how much I love living at Josephine Lofts!

I have lived at Josephine Lofts since October 2017 and have completely enjoyed my stay. The property itself is in an excellent location with easy freeway access for commuting to work as well as being near both the Uptown and French Quarter areas. Many rentals in NOLA offer on-street parking, but Josephine has gated on-property parking that is lighted well and also has several security cameras. Another plus is the property being pet friendly as we have many dogs onsite; cleaning up after the pets is also enforced and adhered to. Living on the ground floor has been great as I have my own patio area and easy access to the swimming pool. All tenants have been quiet and and respectful of each other as most are working professionals like myself. Misty is back as property manager and has been great and quick to respond to any email or phone call Ive made. The interior of the apartment as well as the common property is very nicely decorated and maintained. The apartments are loft style with exposed brick walls, high ceilings, wood plank floors, granite counters, loads of cabinet space and a nice cool gray color wall paint. Mailboxes are conveniently located in the parking lot and trash service is right in the hallway with access to the trash chute from all floors. We also have a nice little fitness center on the ground floor as well as complimentary coffee service with k-cups. All-in-all, I would very much recommend prospective renters to have a look at Josephine. I looked at over 10 different properties when moving to NOLA and choosing Josephine Lofts was easy as it so clearly stood out above the other options and I could not be happier with my choice. When my assignment is up, I will be missing my wonderful apartment and hope the next tenant enjoys it all as much as I have.Cheers!David

I have lived here for nearly 5 years and have seen many management crews come and go. Thus far, Misty and her crew have been the most responsive, friendly, and resident-advocating group I’ve experienced. Any issue I’ve had, from AC to roof leaks, their response time is fast and the process is always extremely convenient. I considered moving just out interest in other areas but never did because the living experience at Josephine lofts is so peaceful, overall. The building design is awesome, upkeep is diligent, location is central to everything, neighborhood is very cool, and the views of the water from the rooftop/your apartment (on higher floors) are priceless. It’s also apparently not in a flood zone. My only word of caution is that the floors and walls are not soundproof. If you’re a light/early sleeper, bring earplugs.

Wonderful, wonderful staff! Misty is caring, always responsive and very professional. Maintance staff make a huge effort to always be responsive as well. Sure I will never have a building manager that I feel takes care of everyone like family.

The private pet park at Josephine Lofts is absolutely the best! The management takes care of the property beautifully. The staff really puts their heart into the property inside and out, and it shows.To the previous review by the crazy nurse from California, my boyfriend was one of the officers who responded to your disturbing the peace and trespassing on the day you were causing a scene at our front door of our building - - and I had to walk around you with my dog because you were blocking the way. I am a manager of a hotel and the crazy way you were acting, I think the management and staff were very patient and understanding with you to let you stand there and cause such a scene on private property. And, the reason the police car followed you after you had to be escorted off of the property, was because they wanted to make sure you kept walking and didnt double back and cause another problem. We never had calls to this property until you came along. Thank you for ruining our perfect record. So you threatened them in getting your deposit back? What hospital do you work at that lets you threaten and bully people? Josephine Lofts is a nice place. Im glad you didnt rent here. It is a God send.

I love Josephine Lofts Apartments is a wonderful place! I was there that day in the lobby when the skinny lady with all the tattoos was causing problems and trying to get into the building. She and was surrounded by 4 police officers and refusing to leave. She kept saying she was a nurse but was very disruptive and had to be escorted off the property.Hey lady, if you dont like the New Orleans neighborhoods and warehouse district, then just stay away.

Nice building, but poorly maintained.Broken entry doors and cockroaches are the norm.1-There is no person on site.2- the air conditioning was not working when moved in. Took over a month to get it right.3- bug problem. I made it clear to the person that worked there that I am allegeric to cockroaches. - they have there infestation problems.4- no security. Back door was broken on several occasions.5- Neighborhood is sketchy at best. You are by the local Walmart.6- getting off of chop to a highway takes 30 minutes going a mile in the morning.Overall they are a overpriced loft building with poor customer service.

I have lived in the Josephine Lofts for the past 4 years. The units themselves are beautiful. High quality finishes including wood floors, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. However, that is where my praise of this building stops. I can say that the management of the property has deteriorated significantly since I initially moved in. I have gone through a total of 8 (maybe more) different property managers. The current Property Manager (Misty) left about 2 months ago and was re-hired about a month ago after a previous property manager (Rochelle?) was fired? Apparently, Rochelle was not responding to many residents complaints/concerns and as a result, many (including myself) put in their 2 month notice to move. Please note, Rochelle was only working for the property for about 2 weeks. Misty has told me that she is a property manager at another apartment complex and thus, never in the office. I will say she is accessible by email/phone but when I first moved in, Linda Resor was always in the office (even on Saturdays) which helped on ensuring repairs and property concerns were properly addressed. In addition, my rent has significantly increased over the last 4 years. I understand the owners of Josephine Lofts would like to compete with other high-end properties in New Orleans (ie The Standard, The Beacon) but you truly have to take the location into consideration. This is not a walkable area and while living behind Wal-Mart may be desirable for some, during most of my walks to Wal-Mart, I have questioned my safety. Overall, my experience at Josephine Lofts has been mediocre at best. I would highly encourage individuals moving to New Orleans to consider other properties. For the amount of money you pay, you can be in a better location with a more responsive management company.

My kitchen looks brand new. I really enjoy the loft-look and hardwood floors, too. The building is new on the inside, only 3-4 years old, with granite countertops and stainless appliances. This is a nice apartment complex with a great view in a convenient up and coming New Orleans neighborhood.I can’t believe my 2-bedroom (& 2 full bathrooms) is the same price as the other ones in the warehouse district, but my apartment has a view of the Mississippi River on two-sides of my apartment! My roommate and I each pay way less than if we each got a 1-bedroom anywhere in Uptown or the Warehouse district. We put a pub table next to the window view of the river and we can watch the river traffic and the boats pass. My study group at Tulane wants to move the group to our apartment permanently, to study and watch the view!There are 2 micro-breweries close by on Tchoupitoulas. This place offers a lot, practically everything you could wish for, and we walk to the sandwich shops and restaurants and love it. We also love the Walmart that is next door! The property is very pet friendly and the staff is very informative and helpful. It is a beautiful place with a fitness center, swimming pool, and private green space/pet park. The City has already started re-paving parts of Jackson Avenue and the side streets - they say when its finished it will have a bike path! We already have a lot of bike riders at the apartments and how great will that be when its finished! Magazine Street is 5 blocks away and we walk to grab a brew or a burger, instead of searching for a place to park! This place gets a big thumbs up from me, my roommate, and all who visit from my study group!

Update for Owner Response. The two individuals that responded negatively to me in last update responses suddenly are gone. That speaks for itself. I would like the public to be aware of this. As for the owner, I was not escorted off the property and this was the first time this happened as people arent as brave to come there and request their money back. I want them to know they can get their illegally held deposits back just as I did. There were no other employees there to witness the professional manager.I want to warn the public about this complex. I moved across the country and was looking for a safe place to live. An employee of Josephine Lofts, Michelle, sent me several emails stating it was the safest place to live in New Orleans. I was also told it was walking distance from St Charles and the quarter (One mile from St Charles). None of these items are true. It is an extremely unsafe part of the city. I was warned by twenty different residents, four of them being NOPD, to not live here. I walked over there to check out the place believing what she told me and giving it one more chance. It was an early afternoon and I knew right away she had exaggerated the truth. Buildings are run down and there is a Walmart next door with huge empty and working factories with a lot of noise. I was hot and dripping with sweat and this once sweet person would not let me in the door, after my decision to not live there she changed. She blocked it with her body. I stated that I was there for my deposit refund and could I please come in as I was obviously extremely over heated. She reluctantly let me in and would not refund my deposit. I reminded her she stated it was refundable and I had not seen the apartment and now that I have seen the conditions she was dishonest about I would not be signing a lease. She refused to call corporate and then asked if I wanted to see the unit. I calmly sat in her lobby where several residents smiled and greeted me respectfully including an employee Gabriel. He apologized for her unprofessional and negative attitude. She went outside to make a phone call leaving her office door wide open and called the police rather than calling corporate for my refund. Not one but four police officers came and she strong armed me out making up some story that she was scared. Being an emergency room nurse I am used to attention seeking and erratic behavior like this but usually its from people on cocaine, meth or some sort of mental problem not an employee, who knows she is doing something dishonest and wrong. I am assertive and dont like to be coerced or lied to. I mean who would? New Orleans is an amazing city and there are several better places to live with employees with or without a corporation that cares about American virtues like respect and courtesy. She stated they had a long waiting list, coercing me into their online signatures (now we know why) so to keep a deposit when someone is already living in the unit and have “so many waiting” is wrong, immoral and disgusting. I would suggest looking elsewhere and not live here. It may appear nice but living with people who would treat me like that after so many lies wouldnt sit right with me. All four police officers apologized, offered to take me home and highly recommended living anywhere else. At one point we both were on phone with police but I hung up and called her corporate instead who treated me appropriately. I was treated with respect by the NOLA PD but sadly not by Josephine lofts or a poor excuse of a woman, Michelle F.

The staff is sooooo nice and they are always smiling and walking around taking care of things. Once I finish graduate school, I plan to stay longer, trust me. I never have to wait for a fitness machine or a spot at the pool anymore! How cool is that? There are 36 apartments, so its a small property compared to the other large complexes of like a hundred apartments or more. I walk around the corner to the Walmart - the uptown New Orleans Walmart that is all brick and doesnt look like a Walmart! And theres a couple of small shopping strip areas there with Subway, Chinese food restaurant, and T-Mobile phone store is there. Its a really convenient location...I love it. I love my apartment too because it has the interesting loft look, high ceilings and the old brick and really pretty wood floors. I love the old New Orleans brick. Plus, they started paving parts of Jackson Avenue and they have plans to give it a bicycle path also. We ride our bikes up 5 blocks to Magazine Street cafes or further to St. Charles Avenue already, but the bike path will make it even better.

Close to the Tchoupitoulas up ramp to the Interstate, like if Im going to the Westbank Highway 90, or when I have appointments in Metairie headed toward Interstate 310 or the Airport. I can grab what I need at the Walmart next door (well, behind the building) and head out of town pretty quickly. I really like the property and after travelling, it is such a welcome home. I like to jump in the pool after riding my bike on Magazine Street or after jogging in Audubon Park. The staff is always smiling and the halls are brightly lit and it always smells so good! What is that stuff, Fabuloso? The fireworks were cool this year on the roofdeck with the reflection on the Mississippi River. And, because I live there, the fireworks show is free! The new buildings and street pavings in the neighborhood look great, and there is a sense of community. And, I never have to take my trash out because theres trash chutes! It is a pretty place with lots of conveniences. Home sweet home!
