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 West M Apartment Homes
If you are in lake charles temporarily or long term, this is a good place to live. Very convenient, quiet, great amenities, nice events every once in a while, good place to be in general.
Property Manager at West M Apartment Homes, Responded To This Review
Thank you for sharing this detailed feedback about West M Apartment Homes! Feedback like this is very helpful to our future residents. Safe travels until we meet again!
The property is beautiful, however there are things that happen here that is kept silent from residents. The office staff is nice, but they aren't open with a lot which seems to be for various reasons. Gates don't always work and the lack of security doesn't help. Charges are also going up for trash per person instead of unit. Saying "internet/cable is included" is misleading because it's additional to the basic rent along with valet trash, water and sewer. The amount you see online - add $100 for internet and cable (not optional).

I commend all them at this time how well they are taking care of their residents due to Hurricane Laura. I stayed through out the ordeal and still residing in my apartment. All have been very helpful, watchful and alert to every ones needs and request.

Staff is friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere - we love it here!!!!
