My fiancee lived here for a year, and I was really impressed with this apartment complex…read more I believe this recently built, probably within the last three years. She paid $800/month for a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom unit. This included a nice gym, extra storage, a nice pool, and free underground garage parking. The residents were really nice and the apartment manager often nominated a resident of the month and gave discounts off rent for the award. In addition, she often threw parties for the Mirabel residents.

Oh my gosh! We have been llife-long renters in the Madison market for 30+ years. Mirabel…read moreApartments is the *best* place we've ever lived. Start with the apartments (we have a 2 BR/2 BA). The layout maximizes privacy between the two bedrooms (no shared walls), each has their own en-suite full bath, the apartment has an enormous "utility" room with high cap washer and dryer, kitchen appliances are not "top end" but really good (ice maker in freezer, over the stove built in microwave, cupboard space galore, etc. And then there's the service component. Between Lisa (the manager) who will do just about anything to make you happy (including cat and plant sitting if you need to be gone) to Tim (and crew?) to handle every maintenance detail in a timely manner. And then there the amenities - the pool, the community garden space, the car wash station (fully stocked with car washing and detailing supplies - for free!). We moved here during the pandemic so we've only heard of the legendary "community events" and have not taken advantage of the *no cost to use* lovely community space or the community work-out facility, but hope to some day. We were given an opportunity to early renew our lease at the six month mark for an exceptionally modest $20 per month increase which we jumped at immediately. I can't recommend this place enough. Sadly at this time (end of January 2023) there are no available units, but definitely put this one on your radar for places to watch for availability - you won't be disappointed.

I would highly recommend living here if you're looking for a luxurious, quiet and conveniently…read morelocated apartment in the Madison area. The units are spacious and quiet, and each one has its own private patio. The kitchen and bathroom countertops are granite and the appliances are an attractive stainless steel. The kitchen sink has a garbage disposal and there is a dishwasher. There is also in-unit laundry for an added bonus. There is TONS of natural lighting in the unit and I can make each room dark just by closing the blinds. The underground parking is a serious bonus as well. There's also an exercise room on the 6th floor with a variety of machines. Management is super helpful and reliable when I reach out to them. One day I noticed there was an issue with the elevators (they wouldn't come when I pushed the button to call them), and by the time I emailed management a few hours later, the elevators had already been repaired. It's about a 4 minute walk to the UW Hospital and is less extremely convenient when going to shopping centers, grocery stores, etc. Also, the parking garage is very easy to get in/out of. Overall this has been my favorite apartment to live in, of any (I have lived in 5). I would recommend it to anyone wanting to live on the west side.

I would also strongly recommend looking elsewhere for your apartment. I moved out in summer 2016…read moreand have heard this place has new management. Perhaps that will help, but I can't imagine it will solve all the problems at this place. I lived on the first floor of the historic building. I could hear every word my upstairs neighbor said. I could hear her pee. And when she had parties, which was 2-3 times per week, I couldn't hear anything else. We spent a couple of nights in the movie theater as our TV couldn't drown out the parties. Management would not intercede. Our bill was wrong nearly every month which required constant follow up. We had to pay for several utilities, including heat for common areas. The common areas were kept, literally, at 50 degrees. But we paid a significant amount for it every month. This place had such character, but it was overpriced. Rent plus utilities, parking, and fees cost over $1800 each month for a 1 bedroom. We had poor light compared to the 2nd and 3rd floor and the room was really humid. All my plants died and it took towels 2 days to dry on the rack. The washer and dryer took something like 4 hours to do a single load. Cell phone reception was terrible. Maintenance was slow. You had to haul your garbage through the other building, which was such a pain. It was one of the worst decisions of my life to move here. I will admit we got our entire deposit back (over $1500), which was the only positive.

Before I moved to Sauk Creek Apartments, I had owned homes for more than 35 years so I was not sure…read morewhat to expect. I have been so impressed with this complex and its management! Communication related to the apartments is always clear and timely. Any time I have a question, Jessica or Debbie get back to me immediately--usually the same day. Maintenance requests, whether big or small, are handled immediately as well. Joe, Brian, and the others on the maintenance staff are friendly and professional--and stealth! When they are done with a repair there is no trace that they were there except a friendly note explaining what was done. Tim maintains the grounds beautifully. I love my apartment! It is updated, safe, sunny, and quiet. And it's affordable. I never wonder if I made the right choice. This is home!

Good neighborhood, the apartments LOOK good but, you will find some bad things they have!…read more The worst thing if those apartments 2: 1 Management 2 maintenance guy (tall, skinny, glasses that has never worked anywhere else but there) non diligent at all, and is always sitting in the parking garage, talking with the other maintenance guys. We lived there for 2 years, first year was ok, we didn't mind the bad attitude of the maintenance guy, if we asked for something or some maintenance request, his answer was, " send the request to for maintenance" With management we had a situation of charging over for an extra parking space in the garage , but we didn't mind that either, even though it was affecting our credit score because it was showing bus as delinquent for many months. But as I said we didn't mind any of that bcz we liked the neighborhood and the apartment. Continue.. During fall we found very bad mould on the windows and one of the corners of the bed room also on the living room patio door, we cleaned that, then reported to management, their response was for us to clean that and dry the windows constantly do we avoid the situation, we kind of did what they said on fall, winter came and the mould was bigger and the wood was all rotten, management sent the paperwork for the next year contract, my husband told them. We will continue living there but they had to fix the windows situation and the wood. We ended up being threatened by them, stating we will be evicted if during WINTER we don't leave the windows open all day long to stop the mould growing, the maintenance guy was getting in the apartment no notice and arranging my courtains, damaging them as he liked, and when I said something the manager came back to tell me that I'm not letting him work and that I would end up evicted for that. Middle of winter, contract for next year already signed, what could I do? We lived that year and half, counting the days and waiting for the great moment if leaving that people If after this you decide to move there,,, is in you BTW that mould situation lasted for more than a month, they threatened us, after a couple of weeks we called the city and miraculously the maintenance guy had the time to fix the wood, at least, the mould problem will continue there, those windows are cheap and bad!

They value the time and money of potential residents much higher than that of current residents no matter how long you've lived there. I was walked in on while asleep and half clothed by maintenance men not once but TWICE without them knocking. This is about as close as you can get to being in an HOA without ever having signed up to be in one. They are strict and often passive aggressive including but not limited to threatening to drain the pools if residents can not "cooperate" with their rules. Children are not allowed in pool areas even with adults. I also frequently had to keep my thermostat around 75 degrees to keep my apartment above a hoodie temp. due to poor insulation. Beware.

I didn't leave the place in perfect shape but as someone with family in construction and renovation I guarantee you it was NOT worth that much. What the hell is the point of a deposit at that point? Sure it has a lot of nice reviews but interesting that they're all from 8 years ago, around the time the place was nearly done being built. Likely a promotion ran where they gave some perk to people leaving nice reviews. They're nice at first but the moment you're in there it literally feels like you cannot LIVE there. You have passive aggressive management sending rude letters and emails- to the point now where any notice from a landlord sends my anxiety up the roof, even to this day when I live in a HOUSE now. Management, don't even bother responding to this because I'm not reading your responses. I don't trust you enough to give you my real name, because knowing you, you'd be awful. At this point, I don't trust you to actually be genuine in anything you say. Everything is a nice platitude to get the next lease in your roster so you can rip someone else off.

The Lurican apartment building, owned and managed by McCaughey Properties, is an amazing find in…read morethe heart of downtown Madison. The building was constructed in 2008 and I've lived here since it opened. Prior to moving here, I changed apartments every year because of poor management. I would highly recommend renting at the Lurican, it's a pricier place but it's also right in the middle of downtown, just a block away from the grocery store. You're right next to Mifflin, Overture Center, State Street, and in a great spot to catch the bus and to access the university campus. Pat is one of the best building managers I've ever had and the apartments have really nice amenities. Maintenance: Issues are handled within 24 hours, usually less, unless a part is needed but in that case the part is ordered in less than 24 hours. Management: Pat is a fantastic building manager. I see him on-site all the time taking care of things and making sure the property is maintained. Amenities: The apartments have central AC and heating. Trash is put in a trash room on the first floor that can be kind of smelly at times but they try to air it out to keep it from getting too bad. The stove is a flat top stove making it easier to clean, there's an in-unit stacked washer/dryer, and dishwasher. Fridge is the top door/bottom door type and there is an icemaker in the freezer. Sound insulation is pretty good, keeping most of the noise outside of the apartment at a minimum, although loud things like construction across the street or very loud neighbors can sometimes leak through. Lighting in the bathroom and kitchen is very good, floor lamps may be needed in the living room area. Plenty of counter space in the kitchen. Overall the building is well maintained, especially in the winter when the guy who shovels the snow is always on top of things and often the property is the first one shoveled during storms. The underground parking is a little bit tight but also well maintained. The building is a smaller one so no apartments are super far from the elevator. It can be tough for friends to visit because of the parking situation downtown, but the Overture Center ramp is only a block away. I love living at the Lurican and the only reason we're moving out is because we're going to a different city.

DO NOT EVER rent from Parkview Apartments - CHT. 0/5 stars would be much more accurate. I have…read morenothing positive to say about them at all. If you know what Yellow Jackets are (huge, aggressive wasps) and you wouldn't want them in your apartment for over six months, then Parkview Apartments is NOT the place for you. This has been an ongoing problem since we moved into our apartment. We were not told beforehand at all that this would be a problem, nor have any actions been taken to remove them before we moved in. Professionals have to handle infestations of Yellow Jackets (according to several pest control websites) since they are very aggressive insects. My roommate and I have tried numerous home remedies in hopes of thinning them out, but it obviously hasn't worked. Parkview Apartments clearly doesn't care, and they haven't even asked us if we've allergic to wasp stings. (That could probably turn into a big legal issue if one of us ends up getting stung and have a reaction). And they are HUGE, easily twice the size of a normal wasp. (I included a pic for size reference) Went to Kristi at LEAST five times and she's horrendously unprofessional and rude. Kristi hasn't done anything to resolve this problem, other than referring us to their contracted pest control guy who has absolutely no idea what he's doing... She's refusing to help us on this matter because she's too arrogant. There are other tenants who have had yellow jacket problems, too. Look at the reviews of CHT on Google. CHT has less than 2/5 stars. Almost everyone is saying they wish they could rate CHT 0/5 stars with the biggest complaint being "they don't give a shit about their tenants". And that's true. They care more about the money than they do about their own tenants. Despicable.

I'm not sure if this is for the right set of apartments or not. I lived at the CHT-run "Parkview…read moreApartments" that are on West Washington and Regent (Proudfit). I don't think they have an alternate location....but if this is wrong, then disregard it. :) I *loved* living here. Despite the high-traffic intersection location, it was magically pretty quiet inside the apartment. We could see the Capitol building from our kitchen dining room window. There were lots of windows in our corner apartment for maximum cross-breeziness. The apartment had beautiful wood floors, 1 1/2 bathrooms (one of which was located in my bedroom) and spacious bedrooms. The kitchen had lots of cabinet space, but was a bit outdated looking, but that's not too rare in Madison. Extra bonus? Beautiful, well-maintained courtyard--with a pool! The management was unlike any other that I've encountered in Madison. They were unbelievably responsive to any maintenance requests we had (and there were few, since the apartments were well kept). On the morning of my move-in day, my refrigerator began to make a noise that sounded like an airplane taking off. It didn't stop all day. Because it was a Sunday and they couldn't get the parts they needed, they apologized profusely and told me they'd take care of it the next day. I came home from work the following afternoon and....BRAND NEW REFRIGERATOR. That's amazing. Any time we had problems with sinks or toilets, they were there within a few hours to fix it. The lady who ran the office (Kristie, I think her name was), was the most polite and friendly customer service person I've ever met. She remembered who each tenant was, which I thought was remarkable. Given the prime location and general loveliness, I would even go so far as to say that these apartments aren't too overpriced. I think we were paying about $900/month for a spacious two-bedroom, with all utilities included, except electricity (and heat wasn't electric). Woohoo for Parkview!
