If you’ve had or have to use funding for any type of financial hardship, they won’t renew your lease. Nothing is included as far as utilities. You’ll have a bill from Alliant, MG&E, trash, water, AND internet on top of the rent cost.
If you need maintenance, they cake a bunch of caulk on it and call it a day.

I have been living at The Madison Apartments since 2015.
The management is welcoming, friendly and they are very helpful.
Maintenance staff communicates well and they accommodate my work orders in a timely manner.
I love the location. We are up on a hill with only residential areas surrounding us.
It is a dog friendly neighborhood, lots of walking areas and they just built a new dog park!!
I love living at The Madison Apartments and I plan to stay for long time coming.

I have now been living at the Madison for a little over 6 months and I have to say this is my favorite apartment I've ever lived in. I live in a quad plex and it is absolutely wonderful walking into a foyer area and being able to enter my apartment without having to walk down long hallways like I'm in a hotel. The office and maintenance staff are all wonderful and very helpful when anything has been needed and the pool and other amenities that are offered here are wonderful. Would highly... suggest turning in an application and joining us here at The Madison if you want to love where you live.

I wish I could give them a NEGATIVE rating. Initially, apartments started off under a different management who was very prompt in taking care of the tenants issues. One day, the Heater in my apartment was not working and I called the leasing office, I was told that I didn't know how to operate it and they refused to send any one to take care of the issue. They also switched off the lights in the corridor of our Apartment building and we had to call them multiple times to get them back on. The... new staff is extremely shrewd and rude. Most of the people that I know of have already been vacating these apartments after the new management took over. We do not have any short term leases and we are stuck for 12 months. So BEWARE before you sign the lease as they tell you that you can pay a lease breakage fee of $250 if you want to get out of the lease but you would still be held responsible for the rent till they find someone to lease it out. As they have many vacant units, they would not even care to show your unit to others as they are still making money on it from you and you would end up paying thousands of dollars in spite of paying the lease breakage fee. AVOID Madison Apartments at any cost!!!
