The 144-unit luxury apartment complex is conveniently located at 11000 Buddy Ellis Road, about one mile from the Juban Road exit on Interstate 12, southeast of Denham Springs. It was developed by CST Land Developers, LLC, whose principal members include attorneys Tom Delahaye, Chris Coffin and Stan Baudin of Plaquemine.

The Village at Juban Lakes complex is modeled after The Reserve at Jefferson Crossing.
