Iron Gate

Kiss your security deposit goodbye. The move-out experience was terrible and painful. They treat you well when you live there but when it comes to moving out, they treat you like dirt. I took good care of my unit and cleaned 99% of it and they still charged me for things that I cleaned 100% spotless. They decided to replace blinds on my dime even though they were in perfect condition. They also decided to charge me to replace the counter tops that were in great condition and in no need of… replacing. These people will do anything to take your security deposit, even if it means fabricating "damage" from thin air. Lived there for a year and it was a really nice place. Everything is pretty new. While I was living there I experienced no problems and was treated well. HOWEVER, my move out experience has irreparably tarnished the name of Goldleaf Development and I will be avoiding renting from them in the future. Disappointing. Read More

While living in this apartment complex, my concerns and complaints mirror those who have already written reviews. Noise level seems a bit excessive, especially for an almost brand-new building (I rented from the newest building of the three). My main issue to checking out. As quoted from another review: "Make sure your move in check in list is very complete as they are eager to charge for any flaw when you move out." I would highly recommend taking photos. When moving out, there was no notice… that the office would be closed and no instructions on how to proceed with checking out. Afterwards, they claimed to have found damage but their only proof is photos taken days after the check-out sheet was completed. I was told they were "too busy" to contact me or respond to my emails.
Long story short: I would only recommend this renting here if you have absolutely no other options. Read More

Great location in Sun Prairie and only a short drive to the east side of Madison. The gym and the pool are awesome perks.

Rented a 1 bedroom for 2 years. Onsite management is very responsive to any issues. Rate building manager a 5. The hallways are not air conditioned so they are hot in the summer and moving in the summer is steamy. The exercise area is also not air conditioned. Rate common areas a 2. This is a wood framed 4 story building so sound travels between apartments. Rate noise a 3. The builders did not seem to include any sound dampening between apartments. Underground parking is great. Rate parking a 5… . Underground parking is not included with all apartments, so ask. Many families with children in the building. Some issues with noisey children. Quality of appliances, carpeting and fixtures is average. Rate appliances and fixtures a 3. The good news is if the appliances fail the management will respond quickly. Make sure your move in check in list is very complete as they are eager to charge for any flaw when you move out. The bathroom drains clog up easily. Overall better than most rentals in Madison area.
