$1475 / 1br 700 ft2 - Beautiful Faubourg St. John, ALL Utilities Included (Bayou St. John/City Park) Newly renovated, lovely 1 bedroom apartment less than a block from Bayou St. John, 3 blocks to the cafes and shops on Esplanade Ave. The rent covers ALL utilities, including high-speed (WIFI) unlimited Internet access, gas stove, refrigerator with icemaker, and lawn maintenance. (The savings on utilities is in excess of $200/mo.**) The first floor is the kitchen and living area. There are stairs to the second floor where the bedroom and bath are located. Lots of light and open space. The front door faces the back yard/ garden, with a water fountain/pond. Very private, as it is in the rear of the house away from the street. Street parking is easy, right in front of the building. Off street parking is made available during Jazz Fest, etc. Other points: - Renovation just completed - Beautiful new tiled shower with marble bench - Bidet - Access to secluded yard - Fire and Carbon monoxide alarms - Wood floors in bedroom, low maintenance tiles elsewhere. - Alexa-enabled lights If you're not familiar with the neighborhood: Convenient to I-10, the Quarter, the street car, and City Park. Walking distance (3 blocks) to two grocery stores, Santa Fe, Lola's, Cafe Degas, 1000 Figs, Bell (new English Pub/Restaurant), Swirl, a French pastry shop, a bakery, Pal's, two coffee shops... the list goes on. You'll be quite popular when Jazz Fest comes around, since this apartment is only a few blocks away from the Mystery Street entrance to the Fest. Is safety a concern? The Fairgrounds provides a 24/7 private patrol that is staffed by off-duty police officers. The streetcar can be caught at the entrance to city park, and the bus that runs to the FQ then uptown is three blocks away on Esplanade. The rent is $1525 for a 1-year lease, but $1475 for a 2-year lease. (We would prefer that someone live here for an extended time.) Previous tenants in our apartments have stayed an average of 5+ years. We are proud of the fact that our tenants only leave if they buy a house or move out of town! Neighbors all around are great. Available immediately, $1000 deposit. Appointments are required. No deposits are taken until applications are reviewed, and applicants are informed within 24 hours. Deposit is due at that time. Yes, the apartment is very nice, but it is the neighborhood that makes it a high-demand rental. Being so close to the bayou on a lovely block at the end of the oak alley on Ursulines Avenue? Priceless! The landlord lives in the building, so there is a quick response to urgent issues should they arise. A small dog or indoor cat is okay (with $200 non-refundable pet fee). No smoking (unless it is outside well away from the building). If you are interested, please reply, and I will email you instructions, additional information, etc. We do not discriminate, and we ask that you don't, either. LGBTQ+ friendly. (There is a laundry on the second floor next to the bedroom closet, but it is not completed yet. Until the hookups are completed, the rent will be reduced by $25/ mo. In the meantime, just a few steps away there is an indoor laundry room shared with two other people.) **In a rental that does not include the utilities, the average monthly costs would be: Electricity and Gas, $95; Water, $55; ATT Fiber optic Internet, $75. A total of over $200. When comparing this apartment to others that, perhaps, only include water, remember to add at least $100 to the price. The "effective" rent of this unit is actually less than $1,300/mo. The lease is straightforward. The tenant does not pay for any utilities. If the tenant would like to order cable, they can do so on their own. Otherwise rent covers all utilities, including high-speed wifi. Tenant insurance is encouraged but not required.
