Lake Charles offers apartments for rent along the Calcasieu River, between Lake Charles and Prien Lake in southwestern Louisiana. This waterfront city balances industrial development with entertainment, featuring both petrochemical refineries and waterfront casinos. Apartment seekers will find rental costs below the state average, with one-bedroom apartments typically renting for around $930 per month.
The Lake Area provides easy access to both outdoor recreation and city amenities. Apartments are available throughout Lake Charles' established neighborhoods, including those near the Calcasieu Ship Channel and downtown district. The city hosts year-round events like the Louisiana Pirate Festival and features multiple museums celebrating the region's history. Home to McNeese State University and continuing to rebuild following recent hurricanes, Lake Charles maintains its position as a key industrial and cultural center in Louisiana.

Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
