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 Legacy at Lake Charles
Four years ago, Legacy would have arguably been one of the best properties in town. Today, not even a little bit. Do your due diligence. Ask to see the ACTUAL unit you’ll be moving into. Miscommunication is unfathomable here. Save yourself some grief and move elsewhere! I’ve been here just three months and the problems have been nonstop.
Been living at Legacy 1.5 years during that time frame, management has been very responsive to my needs. At one point, I was going to leave for lower pricing options however given property landscaping, amenities, and quick responses from the leadership team, I decided to stay. This is a community that I proud to be apart of Thank you legacy!
Property Manager at The Legacy at Lake Charles, Responded To This Review
We are so happy to hear that you love Legacy so much that you decided to stay. We definitely try to add value to everyone's life by making the Legacy community a wonderful place to call home. Feel free to reach out if you ever need anything. Thanks, Bri McMurry Community Manager
Other complexes charge extremely less given the same quality. The staff (Michael then) would have you believe that it’s Hawthornes amenities that charges 1b1b units like mine so much, even given the fact the family units are not much higher. This is the worst complex for Mail if you’ve ever used the Luxer system for reference…but that’s saying something since it’s partially the rude staff and carriers fault for losing and misplacing your parcels. Takes forever for repairs and the quality of the tub is abysmal.
The actual apartment itself is nice, but multiple amenities including our AC has gone out and its been 2 months and they still have not fixed it. We’ve been SLIGHTLY accommodated but it seems like we’ve been forgotten and it’s too hot to even sleep in our rooms.
I’ve lived here a few months now and this experience has been leaps and bounds better than some prior. The staff has been helpful and the property is beautiful.
