The Madison Mark 132 East Wilson Street, Madison, WI 53703

"The leasing office does not communicate. Calls bounce to voicemail during business hours. They do not respond to emails. The physical office is vacant and unstaffed during business hours."

"Took 2 1/2 months for them to complete application with minimal communication throughout the whole time. I’m sorry I should say 2 1/2 months for them to simply add up 2 people’s income to inform them they are over qualified. Management needs improvement"

"Great building, management, and location."

"High rents for nothing but location. I came from NYC and they want to charge NYC prices, but, they don't realize that Madison is NO NYC."

"PROS: Downtown on King St., two blocks from capital; Heated parking available for $125/mo; Decent Views from rooms (if not staring into the Marina condos across the street); Community room/grille on roof; Movie theatre room with (old) digital projector; Two used treadmills for residents to use; Office room with a Dell space heater CONS: Elevators or garage door routinely just stop working. Either happened about once every other month. Doesn't sound so bad until you experience it; Water pressure is utter crap. It's not that is weak, it's that there are air pockets that will hit you in the shower; Apartments are small and overpriced. Seriously - the Madison Mark and Butler Plaza ranks as some of the most overpriced housing downtown. Even newer, better buildings (w/ things like 50 mbps internet) downtown are cheaper per sq ft; Toilets sound like harrier jets when the back tanks fill. We could hear our neighbors every time they flushed, and they could hear ours. Might be related to the water pressure problems; Front desk NEVER picks up the phone. You have to leave a message and they call you back, even though the desk is staffed from 10-4 most weekdays. Also, they hire some pretty expensive cleaners when you move out. Take pictures when it comes time to hand in the keys in case you want to dispute anything. We were pretty thorough with move out, even hiring our own cleaners, but the Mad Mark cleaning crew managed to charge us for a "nail removal" from a wall for $40."
