The Element on Main

"Leaking ceilings, sinking floors, black mold, cockroaches, bedbugs, flea infestation, drain flies, and a plethora of mice. Windows boarded up throughout property, trash literally everywhere, broken glass, and needles as far as the eye can see. They just got slammed with over one million dollars worth of fines from the city for pests, poor infrastructure, and lack of property management. This place is an absolute nightmare."

"I have lived here back in 2000 and it was ok!! But there is many upgrades done to the property and apartments!!"

"The absolute worst run apartment in Wisconsin. They have no management as of late, no contact information, and no one to handle anything that currently are an issue. They also mismanage rent money & rental assistance. It is infested, unsafe, and unmanaged. This complex should be shut down immediately, but for some reason, they still have a "now renting" sign up and are still getting applications and residents. DO NOT LIVE HERE! Id rather live in a sewer gutter than ever step foot in this apartment complex again."

"Complete waste of time!!!!! 0 stars if I could. The communication and management is beyond horrible. Took almost 4 months just to get approved, just to get denied (apartment taken away due to them discriminating against my payment method) a few days before my move in date. Mind you I lived in their partnering homes in Madison for 3 years! Had to stalk management for a copy of a denial, did an appeal and guess what? It’s been over 3 months and haven’t heard nothing FROM CORPORATE, corporate doesn’t even care because they also know the turn over rate in management is through the roof, no one is knowledgeable on what your situation is. So long story short I’ve spent 7 months(before leaving my old unit until the beginning of October) trying to move in where police presence and bad activity occurs daily. Thank goodness I was able to find a place in sun prairie that actually cared to do their job and get me approved and moved in."

"Just moved in and wanted to share my thoughts on the property. While the outside looks a bit rough, inside the units are very clean and have almost everything you need for cozy little apartment. There were a few things that weren't up to par, but maintenance came and fixed everything we had a problem with within a decent time frame, and pretty quicky too. It seems as though the property is slowly getting better under it's new management. If it's your first time renting or if you need a fresh start, then I'd consider these as your next move."
