Longfellow Lofts

On top of living in an entirely unique historic building, renting at Longfellow Lofts is great because of excellent property management from Madi! She is always present on-site and has been immediately responsive to any issues I've had. The location is great with easy proximity to UW, Meriter Hospital, and the trails around Lake Monona.

The apartment and maintenance staff are quick to respond and helpful. The apartment is typical for the price range. No noise issues (occasional helicopter sounds from the hospital when my windows are open) as most of the neighbors are professionals. Package room etc. is moderately well organized, parking (paid) is decent, with free charging for EVs.

Location is not bad, there is a Bcycle station bike nearby (though not completely reliable), walkable to downtown otherwise. For runners/walkers... theres some nice neighborhoods to run through towards Vilas park/Zoo. Driving wise its pretty central and you can get on the highway decently quick. The only issue is during events when everyones leaving/entering the stadium etc. Read More

This place is very nice. Clean apartments and very good management.

Walkable to the arboretum, downtown, and plenty of parks. Other tenets are respectful and mostly young, but not undergrads. Management is responsive and organized, they know how to run a property.

We lived at Longfellow Lofts for almost 4 years. Property manager Tammy and maintenance master Ziggy, made sure we were always comfortable and they answered any requests or concerns quickly, professionally, and never made us feel like we were bothering them. They always had a cheery “good morning” and “hello, how are you?” whenever they’d see us. The apartments are comfortable, beautifully maintained and there’s a floor plan for everyone. The buildings are clean everywhere, including hallways,... carpeting, floors, elevators, garage and courtyard. Convenient in-unit washer and dryers, too. No quarters here!
Options for garage or courtyard parking available, as well as street parking. We loved being able to park in the garage, unload our shopping into one of the carts provided, and take it to our apartment in the elevator. Great in rain and snow!
Pet friendly? Yes! Our dogs loved visiting with Tammy, Ziggy, and Emma who assists Tammy part-time. Lots of ear scratches, hugs and treats for all the dogs who reside there. The staff has gone over and above in times of need. In an emergency or if we were running late getting home, and our dogs needed attention or to be checked on, we were able to ask the office to do that for us. They happily obliged. Buildings do not smell of pets, ever. Very clean!
We enjoyed movie day on Tuesdays, when we could go to the historical building (once Longfellow School) auditorium, and enjoy a movie with complimentary fresh popcorn, chips, candy, and water or coffee.
Christmas time is made less hectic for the residents, as the beautifully decorated auditorium is set-up with everything you need to wrap gifts with a vast array of wrap, bags, tissue paper, bows and tags, pens, tape, and scissors. Hot cocoa and Christmas music playing to give you the warm and fuzzies. All complimentary!
If you are looking for a place to live, you can live anywhere. BUT, if you are looking for a place to call home, you’ll find it in Longfellow Lofts under the expect management of Tammy and Ziggy.
Great community! Great people! Read More
