In April, 2025, after being a resident for three years, I received a lease renewal for a monthly increase of $360. All 93 units within the complex were increased proportionally based on whether the unit was a 1 bedroom or a 2 bedroom.
So, interested parties, know that if you accept the "Special" being offered, when you enter your second year here you will not only begin paying the market rate that is currently listed, but an additional increase as well because Prairie Park increases their... monthly rental amount annually in August.

Decent but not great
Property is 20 years old but is beginning to show it's age (hallway & common area carpets). Units are nice, great location (Schroeder Rd is a bit noisy). Management is a struggle: 1) press you to sign (prorate rent), even if you don't need/want till 1st of month, then next year lease starts at beginning of month you signed (11 mon lease) 2) they try to be accommodating on parking, storage closet 3) they get very rigid on rules, even when no one else is affected (rules for rules sake) 4)... Facility maintenance (not unit) is slow or unresponsive. 5) Residents are scared they'll do something and get kicked out (most are elderly and can't move easily) Generally decent but not quite the warm, inviting, new home portrayed.

A Beautiful, Affordable, Fun Place to Live!!
I absolutely love living here at Prairie Park Senior! I moved in this past August and Marion was so very helpful in explaining all the paperwork involved. She and Glen are always very approachable and pleasant, any issues have been resolved quickly for me. The fact that it's so dog friendly is one of the things that definitely matters. I've met most of the people I've come to know while we're outside walking our dogs; a good ice-breaker! Also, it's very clean here. .I'm always proud to show my... friends where I'm now living.

My forever home
Prairie Park Senior is just what I need. I moved here from out-of-state and into a sight-unseen apartment. The apartment manager was wonderful in helping me select the right apartment for me. The building is beautiful with touches of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture and the grounds are professionally pleasing. The balconies are very large and they look like an additional room. Building security is professional so I feel very safe living here. Staff is very friendly and courteous. I have... found my forever home and I love it.

The Obvious Choice
I retired and relocated home to Madison, from Carmel Indiana in August 2020. The Property Manager here at Prairie Park made the application and screening process seamless and stress free. My apartment is beautiful, light and airy, with spacious rooms. The location is close to anything one might need. The security locked building, underground parking and elevators provide a sense of security and ease. Compared to many other area Senior apartments, the rent is reasonable.
