The Lafayette

I moved to Madison in February. The administration of Lafayette were AMAZING. I was so afraid that they will be nice only till I will sign the contract ( as it happened to me in LA). But they are amazing. I love the atmosphere they bring into the apartment complex. The facility is clean, nice, well organized. All maintenance requests are fulfilled in a day! Amazing gym, yoga studio, library room. Hot tub, pool, sauna. They even have a billiards and some other games. Coffee machine in a lobby - its such a nice bonus.

The location is great and that is what has kept us here! Aside from moving in with no handles on any of the kitchen cabinets the build quality has been fine. The amenities are great when they are open and working. Management has been OK, focused more on cute games rather than fixing real issues-i.e. repeated mold in shower, random fire alarms, cold hot tub and run around answers on guest policy. The neighbors have been great, though it is a VERY dog heavy property. I wish sub-leasing were allowed as rent increased after the first year of being open, during a pandemic with all amenities closed and no reduction in rent to account for that. Guest are allowed, just not to any of the amenities that you want to use with them. The location has kept us here, the staff and price has not. I wish residents were treated like the young professionals they are and not kids in grade school.

We have lived here for five months and truly, this has been the best experience. Every question or concern has been addressed with care and detail. The apartments themselves are stunning-amazing finishes and really livable layouts, and the amenities are top-notch. If you are considering the Lafayette Apartments for your next home, do it!! You will not be disappointed.

Since we began talking about where wanted to move, we decided to give the Lafayette a chance, and they’ve been amazing! They’ve been easy to work with, responsive and prompt in their follow ups. The property & amenities are maintained very well, clean and safe. Our apartment is basically brand new, everything works perfectly and haven’t had any issues with anything. They are even thoughtful enough to have events like “root beer float day,” “joke day” with little candies and a joke, etc. A very good atmosphere of people, trails and puppy dogs! Would highly recommend this property, but more so, the team itself that makes all work!

This is an amazing property and has an amazing property manager/director! The staff really do care about the residents and enjoy chatting every chance they get...which I love. I love all the amenities, from the pool, sauna, hot tub and fireplace, to the community room, gym, yoga studio, lounge areas and the library. I love that this community is pet-friendly as well. I love the layout and design of the apartment units. My friends are all wowed everytime they see the complex and my apartment. I hope to stay here a very long time.
