Neither my roommate or I have ever experienced a resident manager as attentive and caring as Kim. She keeps the property in beautiful conditions at all times and is always available to us, day or night, whenever we need something. Definitely one of the more budget friendly buildings in the area, but we feel like we get so much more than we pay for having Kim as the manager! Even the rooftop seems like it belongs to an apartment twice the price. She keeps flowers planted in the courtyard and the stairwells are always well-maintained. She treats her residents like family and is always willing to go out of her way to let our forgetful selves inside when we forget our keys.

I have lived at Madison Court Apartments for over 5 years in two different apartments, a studio and a 1 bedroom. I live in one of the older units built in ~1920s and I love the high ceilings, big windows. and beautiful doorknobs. The location also can't be beat, walking distance from 2 grocery stores, countless restaurants, and several small parks. In addition to the cozy homey units, the building manager Kim Karas is amazing! Since she joined Madison Court I feel so informed and aware about our community. She takes care of problems big and small anytime. The rooftop, small green spaces, and garage all look better than ever and it's all thanks to Kim!
