| - I'm not sure if this is for the right set of apartments or not. I lived at the CHT-run "Parkview Apartments" 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 The kitchen had lots of cabinet space, but was a bit outdated looking, but that's not too rare in Madison.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!
