Prairie Park Senior Apartments

BEST OF MADISON. BEST STAFF EVER -- Joe & Sara are a joy. You'll feel at home & cared for immediately. No cracker box rooms here, like in the new senior apts being built. This is true luxury -- the building is not plopped in the middle of a dirty, dusty parking lot!! And its grounds are park-like -- full of trees, flowers, benches & sunshine. Bedrooms are HUGE -- big enough for an actual bedroom suite of furniture. And sound proof. My favorites are the library on the 3rd floor with most gorgeous glass chandelier. And the Frank Lloyd Wright style architecture and wood detailing throughout the building. Near everything -- shopping, banking, churches. It's HOME TO ME. Signing my 16th lease in just a few weeks.

I love my 2BR, 2BA apartment. I like to keep my blinds drawn down. But, the large bedroom (which I use as an office) has a high ceiling and a separate set of high windows where I keep the blinds drawn up. That allows plenty of light into the room, which makes it feel "light & airy". I really appreciate the free high speed internet line that comes into the apartments. That makes Amazon Prime Video rock solid. From my apartment, I can receive 5 television stations over the air. And each of those 5 stations have a few to several channels. I keep many DVR recorded programs from many of the channels. Heating and cooling are included. But, the tenant pays for the electricity for the heat exchanger / blower. So, it makes energy costs predictable. I know that there are many regular activities that occur, but I am one to rarely participate in such activities. I've been here for several months, and haven't participated in any events. The activities in my life keep me plenty busy. There is always one or more puzzles on the second floor, waiting for passersby to place pieces. There is a workspace with computer monitors. You can hook up your laptop there to get the feel of a desktop computer. People are friendly here (residents & staff). Underground parking is available. Storage lockers are plenty big to hold a shelving unit or two along with your bicycle(s) and hitch mount bike rack. Tennis courts are right next door at the Powless tennis center, so it is an opportunity to entertain friends & family. Biking is pretty convenient. There is a bike route that goes to the end of Struck Street where it continues through the Struck Canyon Underpass (under the Beltline), and from there continues across Odana Road. I like to start there to ride up beyond the Middleton Airport on the U.S. 12 recreation trail. You can bypass the busy roads to get to the West Towne Mall (walking or biking). Once you go through the Stuck Canyon Underpass, you can head straight west

I love my apartment. The two walk in closets & pantry in the kitchen was the thing that convinced me that this was the place for me. Having elevators made a big difference as my previous apartment didn’t have them. My storage is right across the hall, which is great for my seasonal decorations. We are close to all the shopping I need. Most of the repairs are done on a timely basis, except the elevator. That was a big inconvenience for most of us. Sara is friendly & helpful. The large porch is a real pleasure too.
