live here if you want to suffer

Over the course of the 5 years I have lived here, this apartment has raised my rent by 200 dollars and there are numerous issues. Firstly, the apartment manager likes to raise your rent just to hire 4 DJs and a private sailboat while they have year-round construction projects that make living there essentially impossible. Not to mention the homeless that sleep in the basement and sleep on the bench outside. Manager doesnt respond to emails on weekends too.

Property Manager at The Surf responded to this review

We are sorry you had a disappointing experience with us. The recent event was hosted by private parties, not the building owner/manager, meaning the DJ and sailboat rides were provided by parties outside of ownership or management. Our office is open... from 9am to 4pm, Monday through Friday, so that's when you can expect to hear from us. We do have emergency maintenance over the weekend if needed. The police are always contacted when unauthorized guests are brought to our attention. As we don't have your name, we cannot reach out to you to resolve your concerns. Please contact our team at 608.256.3013. Thank you!

DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!!!!

terrible terrible terrible. the management makes it outrageously difficult to do almost anything. signing the lease is a nightmare for no reason, as if everything else. the property itself is not very nice and ridiculously overpriced. upon move in there were issues with my sink, loose cabinets, and more. the temperature inside of the apartment was very uncomfortable and the bathrooms were one million degrees even during winter. and the air conditioner makes the entire room smell horrible. there... where bugs everywhere. they shut the water off every other week. mail gets stolen and they do nothing about it. the furniture is old, ratty, and literally falling apart. also when it’s windy or rains the windows rattle extremely loud and make it impossible to sleep. the employees are slow to respond to emails and are so unorganized. and for the prices of this place?? it’s almost insulting. take your money somewhere else please.

Unreliable maintenance and terrible water

Property manager is quite difficult to contact. Maintenance is basically non-existent. Lots of bugs. Water is often yellow, you will need a filter for everything. Another tenant can’t even get their air conditioning fixed. This property is super overpriced when considering how negative of an experience the new management this year is.

Not worth it!

Management doesn't care about the tenants. Building needs lots of repairs to make it liveable in my opinion.
