STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY…read more In the spring time every year I check my ac to see if it works the first hot day of the year. every single year they have had to send someone out to check it because it doesn't work. this year I put a request in to have it checked out in April 14th of 2024 it took them 10 days to come out. then may 05th comes around I put in another request because nothing has been done which is also ignored. I put in a 3rd request on May 14th. then all 3 requests are all canceled. I send a message to the property management to call me. no response. it is now may 18th and it was 87 degrees today and my house is at 85 degrees at 10pm and I cannot sleep which is why I am currently writing this review while I should be sleeping. I cannot sit by and pay 1260 a month for a company that will not respond to my normal maintenance requests. this is rediculous and I am hoping someone high up sees this review and I can finally get my ac fixed. If I could give them 0 stars I would. The maintenance team is absolutely a joke. I had to send atleast 10 maintenance requests for a simple I have no hot water complaint. Well after 4 visits I had to request an outside company to come take a look at it. Took them all of 30 seconds to say it needed a new hot water heater and softeners. I had to make 2 more requests after to get them to replace it. Then the company spilt water all over the carpet and broke the doors for the closet the softener was in. Which was in my 5 year old sons bedroom. The maintenance department decides a shower curtain is acceptable as a closet and didn't clean up the spilt water softener salt In there that they spilt. Be prepared to spend over 1200 a month in rent and if you have any problems with the apartment good luck getting them solved and without being super ghetto repairs. Sincerely, Very unhappy renter

I would really only recommend this place for people who come from very wealthy families to afford it. It is certainly overpriced, despite the great location. But it would be better if the workers/managers did actually show any form of sympathy while "helping" you with your questions/concerns/issues. There's been many times where I have talked to someone in the office and they said that they would call or email me back that day regarding the inquiry and I wouldn't receive anything until I emailed them multiple times, days later. Or if they say that they will email you the information that evening, and then you bump into them at 9pm at the door, they just look down and pretend you're not there so that they don't need to be reminded that they didn't do their job. It's just very disheartening to pay a fortune to live in a place that was very well-marketed, but doesn't extend any limbs to their residents that have concerns. The rooftop is amazing and the view is breath-taking. I'm in love with the fitness center that they have. The New Here Coffee shop and study spaces on the 1st floor are a go-to for me. I would've loved to come back next year but they don't treat their residents & future residents that well, which is a shame. Just corporate-run properties for you.

They are super tiny and I guess that's why I gave it four stars. The location of it is perfect; it's right in the middle of everything, which makes it really convenient. It also has a convenient store and cafeteria on the first floor. One really neat thing about chad though is that it's run by the students. Students basically operate the convenient store and the main desk and are on the custodian team. It is pretty neat! They also don't have to check people in or anything like that since you need a key card to get on the elevator anyway. Overall, I think chad is pretty nice.

I live in Zoe Bayliss currently, and I love it here! Many things have changed in the 7 years since…read morethe last review was posted. We have a new chef who cooks everything from scratch (rather than using frozen meals), and he switches up the food more too. The officers have changed too, and they are much more forgiving about work duties. Pros: Meals are included in rent which saves a lot of time and money. About half the students are international, so the diversity is much better than in the dorms. The girls are studious and quiet. I've found that because I don't have to worry about cooking food and the community is so studious, it's easier to focus on my schoolwork. Cons: It's clean but not "pretty" or "modern" inside. Also, only about half the rooms are singles, and the other half are doubles, so you have to sign up early for a single. The double are dirt cheap though. It is a co-op, so if you want a modern apartment or your own kitchen and bathroom this might not be the place for you. But if you like living in a community and don't mind a making a couple tradeoffs (2 hours of work duties per week) to have meals cooked for you, cheap housing, and a good location, this is the best value student housing in Madison.

I lived here the first year I transferred to Madison and it was largely a forgettable experience…read more Zoe Bayliss is an all-female co-op, includes a chef, and sort of resembles a dormitory. They have small single, large single and double rooms. The chef's cooking is pretty decent, but it gets old fast and near the end of the semester, she was barely there. It's a great place for diversity too: a lot of Chinese and Korean girls tend to live here. However, you're required to do one house and kitchen duty a week, one spring cleaning, and one "event." I didn't think this was too bad considering the rent was super cheap as a result, but if your building managers are more uptight, this may be something to consider. The main problem I had with this place was that many of the girls were lazy and catty; you may not have that problem, but if you weren't in a certain manager's good spot, you could be overlooked in a duty and that might result in a fine. I'd never live here again, but it wasn't the worst experience one could have when going for university-based housing.
