The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at The French Quarter
The maintenance and office are so nice and take care of you so well! I absolutely loved living here
The french is such a great place to live. The property manager, Anna, is so sweet and just the best! The French Quarter is always very safe and comforting and feels just like home. I love it!
My daughter moved here last July- her first time ever moving. She raves about this place almost every time we talk about it because it has helped her transition to living by herself (without us) SO much easier! Everyone, especially the property manager, is so welcoming and nice to be around. Plus, the amenities and wonderfully priced rent are great for us parents! It’s such a safe and comfortable environment. We love the French Quarter!!
I toured several places when deciding to go to college in Auburn, and as soon as I pulled into the French Quarter- I instantly felt at home. Living here is AMAZING!! We have so many awesome amenities and such an awesome property manager. I love it here!!!! Anytime I’m away, I miss my townhouse- it truly is a place I can call mine! ??
The Garden District offers a great place to live close to most things in Auburn. The residents are great and there’s a sense of community unlike anywhere else here. The staff is friendly and terrific and Anna will be glad to help with any problem, any time! All in all a great place to live!
Living at The Garden District has been wonderful. Every single staff member has been so kind and attentive to my needs as a resident. Maintenance also shows up quickly whenever I make a request. I know I can count on them if I ever need anything.
I've lived in the garden district for 2 years and just signed my lease for a 3rd year! The staff is so nice and attentive and maintenance is quickly responsive to any needs! The units are spacious and rent is super affordable!

Our residents are super sweet! We love that you have made friends! It definitely makes the living experience 10x better! And yes, the guys are the best!!
I absolutely love the Garden District. Me and my roommates have lived here for over a year, and plan on staying for a while. They offer spacious townhomes for an affordable price. The maintenance is always on time and helps us with everything we need. The front desk service is amazing, everybody is so nice! They also have the property well lit with lights everywhere, so I always feel safe at night coming home. They have a nice pool area which is great to socialize with other residents- everyone who lives there is very friendly. I highly recommend making the Garden District your home!

I’ve lived in the Garden District for 2 years and I’ve loved it the whole time. Anna, Molly, and Melanie in the leasing office have been absolutely wonderful the whole time. I’ve had no trouble with anything and any issues that have arisen with my apartments the maintenance staff have helped with and fixed immediately! It’s definitely a great place for students to live by themselves and feel safe.

I've been here for almost 7 months and this place has been a GREAT place to live! The area is very quiet and is walking distance to Walmart and great restaurants. The staff is very helpful and beyond nice, especially Anna! She is always there when needed! I highly recommend The Garden District Apartments!!!
It’s close to campus and has very affordable options! I’ve lived here for 2 years and have no complaints. Anna and Molly in the leasing office are friendly and always helpful as well. Even the maintenance employees are cool!
The Garden District has become my home away from home. The front office staff is so nice and Anna has gone out of her way to make my living situation comfortable and what I needed. Their activities and constant communication with tenants allows for a fun atmosphere. Come check them out!!!

If you are interested in affordable living close to campus, The Garden District is a great option! They have made updates in some of the units! The staff made me feel at home! Anna has always been a great help, and you'll be in great hands if you work with her. They have an excellent text maintenance service that is easy to use with fast responses.

Maintenance always gets the job done when needed! This place is so close to everything and such an easy drive to campus or Walmart!
