The apartments are what you come to expect from Madison. Nice downtown, well maintained. The roof has planters which is stellar. The community has events periodically and the staff is A+

I've lived here for about 7-8 months now. The management is not great, you usually have to enter a maintenance request 2-3 times before they respond. I've had to walk down to the office myself a few times just to get them to do anything. I put in a request and it only ever got done because they stopped by for a regular maintenance check of my heating. They also don't answer the phone, you ALWAYS have to leave a message. I don't know if this is only the case for restricted income renters, I can't imagine paying full price for such unresponsive management. The construction would be fine if they regularly maintained it. Back in November the heating was broken for a couple days, and about 2 weeks later we had no hot water for 3-4 days. Imagine if this had happened in December when we got that huge storm and less than 10f temperatures. All the patios on the whole northwest side of the building are basically inaccessible in the summer because they are crawling with spiders and small flies. Can't even open the door without 10 flying in. If you look up from the sidewalk you can see the balconies covered in cobwebs. No point in cleaning them up because they will be back the next day. Hard to say it's "just nature" when this is not a problem I've had at any previous apartment and they have done nothing to try and prevent it. A neighbor also mentioned he had ants despite living on the 4th floor. There are a couple families that have frequent domestic disputes in the warmer months. Full-on screaming, cursing matches (across the street from an elementary school btw) right outside on the sidewalk for everyone to see and hear, to the point you cannot enjoy having your windows open. Police have been by a couple times. Having lived on campus, I would normally be used to this, but it's almost impressive how loud they can be. All that said, the neighborhood is nice and the parking garage is very spacious. Hard to justify the the rent increase though when all these problems persist.
