Review from the web

I think the Madison Newport is for anyone of all ages and all levels of sociability and I genuinely recommend it. The staff is very welcoming and has phenomenal communication. The leasing staff had timely and professional with a touch of personal responses that made it a clear choice for me, and I was not disappointed at any point during my time there. Some things in the area that I enjoyed doing were going to Camp Mall and Antimall (5 minute drive) where there was music, breweries, delicious pizza, shopping (all quite dog friendly too) and going to the dog park 5 minutes away. For being in a place with great food and shopping so close, nearby freeway access and a short drive to the beach, this place was quiet and the surrounding neighborhoods were safe, clean, and a nice place to walk my dog for the longer walks. Though I have only complete admiration for the staff and my experience there, I think my dog might have more. She was able to meet many well-behaved dog friends and generally insisted on stopping in to see everyone who was in the front office. Great job and thank you for the experience!!
