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.

I lived in the Post Apartments. I lived there over 2 years and really enjoyed it for the proximity…read moreto downtown and the bike path. The interior was very well done and the building maintained well. But sadly, the complex was marketed as "non-smoking" which was a big reason why I signed the lease. However I quickly learned after moving in that it was far from it with tenants smoking marijuana in their units and the smell permeating into the hallway and in some cases into my unit. When management was alerted there was little action besides one email to all the tenants which did nothing to stop it. One sign on the bulletin board which lasted less than a month. I think they could have and should have done more which is why I ultimately decided to leave the apartment before the end of my lease term. My health was suffering from the constant stench. Otherwise, it's a great property and if you don't have an aversion to smokers, I recommend it.

Avante Properties plays hard ball with their best tenants. Here's what happened to us…read more.. We have an apartment at the Arlo in Fitchburg and have been excellent tenants since June 2024 when the building opened. Avante recently notified us that the lease for our second stall in the parking garage has been terminated and we have six days to vacate it. There was no explanation or apology. #1: In the luxury rental business, it's not a good idea to treat good renters poorly, especially your top tenants. Poor reviews and word of mouth will expose you in a big way. #2: Avante has been allowing tenants to move into the garage as late as November-January, just in time for bad winter weather. We've been paying for the second stall since last June so we would have it for the winter months. When we asked Avante for a credit for the past seven months, they referenced legalese from the parking rental agreement, and threatened to tow our car if the stall was not vacated by the deadline. Avante's communication has been disappointing and shocking. #3: During the fall, Avante raffled off 2 free parking stalls to Arlo residents who wrote Google reviews. So they are willing to give away free stalls, but then kick out their paying customers? Huh? Complaining about a valid issue and requesting reimbursement for what we consider fraudulent behavior on their part has ultimately resulted in them threatening not to renew our 12-month apartment lease this spring. Wow is all I can say. A property manager can make or break your apartment rental experience. If I had to do it all over again, I would not rent from Avante Properties. I would look elsewhere.

This Management company is absolutely fantastic! They don't advertise their properties much, in…read morefact I found my apartment after seeing a little sign on one of their buildings. Their properties are beautiful Mansion Hill homes converted to spacious apartments. The apartment manager is very friendly and responsive to any maintenance requests (many of which were taken care of the next day). I do have to mention that they do not rent to most undergraduate students. These apartments are quite and are usually rented by grad students and young professionals. All the apartments I've seen have beautiful crown and base moldings, high ceilings, wood floors, gas stoves and many unique architectural touches. If you are looking for beautiful, well kept apartments in the downtown/capitol area this is the company to go with!

Madison Land Company is great! I rented an apartment on Wisconsin Ave. next to Kennedy Manor for a…read morecouple years and it was very well maintained especially for a downtown Madison property. The maintenance staff were always friendly and promptly attended to any requests I had (ie: installation of a window AC unit; replacement of smoke detector batteries).

I've been told this company prefers to rent to adults/professionals and grad students who maintain the units and respect other tenants...their properties are not party pads.

This is my second year renting from Bruce Wunnicke of Delta Properties and he is far and away the…read morebest landlord I have lived with in Madison (and I have lived with a total of 5 landlords and rental companies in my 8 years here). His properties are well-maintained, so that you don't have to compromise the structural integrity of your entire house when you want a charming apartment rather than a square box with white walls and beige carpet. He updates kitchens and bathrooms so that you're not cooking and bathing like it's 1920/30/40/50/60/whatever. His apartments are perhaps a bit more spendy than what you usually see in the area, but they're totally worth it and usually very large. For instance, I pay $975 for my two-bedroom but it is MASSIVE -- two living areas, a huge kitchen, a very large bedroom, a slightly smaller bedroom and a large and well-appointed bathroom. Plus free parking behind the house. Bruce is attentive and responsive to issues that arise (which, with houses built at the turn of the last century, they will). When I moved in, the bathroom sink wasn't draining properly and he came and fixed it immediately. There was also one broken blind so he replaced the whole set! He is also a really sweet guy and a pleasure to deal with. I have also been in contact with his daughter, Katherine, in some of the renting processes and she is also incredibly nice and great to work with. So many landlords in Madison are seedy, dishonest, manipulative, money-hungry or otherwise unconcerned with being decent human beings. Bruce is none of these things. He's truly a terrific landlord to rent from -- his properties are beautiful, his prices are (in my opinion) fair and he is an extremely responsible landlord.

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!
