Are you that nosy neighbor? Or do you not mind people hearing you talk and listening in on your personal life? This place is for you! You can hear EVERYTHING. Clear conversations of people casually talking (from surrounding apartments and when someone walks past your door, believe me they can hear you), arguments, people walking around in an upstairs apartment, closing doors and if you have children that run around or even get slightly loud like kids do, neighbors will complain. Hey parents out there! Quiet time is from 10pm-9am. Is that realistic when you have young children? Like 9AM... What kid wakes up at 9 and if they wake up before that, they don't make a peep? Consider that. I lived there for a few years. At first, it was great. I just thought my neighbors were a bit loud and it was a lot to adjust to. Quickly, I realized I could hear both upstairs and downstairs neighbors clear as day. I could and did have a conversation with neighbor and they could hear me casually talking... While I'm sitting on my bed in my bedroom in the middle of the room and this neighbor was in their bedroom. It wasn't talking through walls, it was JUST talking. Imagine if you can do that... What on earth can they hear? What did they hear?! Your personal life isn't much personal anymore... No privacy at all! Is that what you want? Plus the stuff you can hear, you wish you wouldn't hear. Atleast one of the security doors were constantly broken. So much for that. Kids will often play in the parking lot. Ride their bikes behind cars. Vandalism scratched all over the elevator. The elevator sometimes didn't work. The dumpsters fill up so fast. This last winter sucked. There was no plan for removing snow and people were getting stuck left and right. The place for the longest time smelled of pot, especially in the stairways. Anything placed near the corners in the bedrooms would be covered in a white dust, constantly! The heat is OUTRAGEOUS. It is billed through electric but to kick it on, it adds up pretty darn quick! The managers often fail to tell you when the air isn't working. Surprise! The times where the air doesn't work and it usually happens on the days you need them most. The communication sucks with management. Within the past few years, there has been 3 managers. It's getting worse as time goes on. They used to be on top of changing air filters in apartments... Mine was disgusting towards the end. I don't even remember the last time they did a change out! It's so dry during the winter. It's so humid in the summer. Sometimes you'd smell mold. Plus sides, nice apartments in size and some have washers and dryers in the units. Nice area in town. Close to everything. There is an option of getting shared internet which is $25 or so. Sounds great until you realize it takes sometimes a half hour to post a minute long video on social media. Gamers be warned, the shared internet will make you cry. Downloading video games takes over a day. Maybe if you're lucky less than a day but still a good amount of hours. It all depends on how fast it is at that point in time. In my honest opinion, it's way too expensive to live there and have that many issues. Also forgot to mention, when it downpours outside, some windows leak. My apartment had a hole in the brick walls, where you could feel cold air come in during the winter. If you decide to live here, good luck! read more

I was hoping to move here from out of state--it's such a nice-looking building (from the pictures and the outside). I called 2 weeks before I was in town (specifically to scout out places to live), and made an appointment with "Ashley," the office manager, on the phone for a Saturday at noon (2 weeks later). The day before my appointment, I got a message on my phone from Ashley confirming my appointment for Saturday at noon. However, when I drove all the way out to Beaver Dam from where I was staying in Madison (which is about an hour away), no one was there. I waited until 12:30. I called the emergency number since no one appeared to be in the office (which is right next to the front door and all the lights were off). The answering service told me that they are contractors for the agency that owns the building, and that they didn't even know the building manager's name (never a good sign if you want to live there and have maintenance done after hours). They asked if I could simply reschedule (well, NO--I was there for the weekend from out-of-state looking for a place to live in a month). They didn't seem overly concerned that I'd wasted a combined 3 hours of my time getting all the way out there. I left a perturbed message with the office management's voicemail and have not heard from them since. Needless to say, I'm pretty annoyed. It's too bad, because the apartments look like they have so much character (from the pics, anyway)--but the management did not give a good impression. Plus, their office is only open 3 days a week. So I give this place a big thumbs-down. It's not too much to ask that you show up when you say you're going to be there. The fact that they didn't is a symptom of what's probably a much bigger problem. read more

I can say that I don't live, but did stay there at a friend's for a week. She lived on the bottom floor, next door to a yappy small dog barking then you go past the outside apartment door. I don't know why they allow dogs, but they are nice inside. I did talk to the manager at one time to see how much they charge for rent and the requirements. They do background, credit checks, and you must meet certain income requirements. They do take section 8 vouchers from HUD. She lived in a 1 bedroom, but was shown a 3rd floor 2 bedroom apartment that was pretty nice. I did not get a response from the manager about how much electricity and heating costs. My friend, she did not comment as well. read more
