Best

It's a good place to live, and I'm really impressed by the responsiveness

Worst

I've had problems since the day I moved in, the carpets weren't cleaned like they were supposed to and had stains on them. I also have had small cockroaches everywhere since they...

Very spacious 8/8/2011

Lots of storage space, particularly in bedroom closets. Very spacious patios, too! more

Very friendly staff 7/26/2011

Bathroom exhaust fan was constantly running. This was our mistake! We did not realize that there is a manual control OUTSIDE the bathroom that can turn on depending on the heat setting. You can shut it off and the fan will function properly. the lady from maintenance called me within an hour of submitting my online form and was very friendly at explaining our mistake. Very common mistake, apparently! more

Very professional management 7/21/2011

I have no qualms with management. I submitted a request to be considered as a building with small animals and my letter was forwarded onto upper management. I received a response within a few days. While the response wasn't what I had hoped for, I was impressed at their attentiveness. They offered to let us move to a complex that allowed small animals for a fee -- something they didn't need to do. So, that was very kind of them. more

They are great 7/19/2011

Tiffany (my original leasing agent) and Shannon have been wonderful in the office -- very understanding, etc. My advice to anyone renting is to keep their leasing agent's e-mail on file. They're a great contact if you have any additional questions. more

Nice staff 7/14/2011

The office staff have still been nice, although I haven't had many encounters. They sent out a free pizza to every apartment for Christmas, which I thought was kind of neat. more

Will come here first! 7/7/2011

I really enjoyed living at these apartments. The only reason I left was because I had to move back home. When I get the chance to move out again I will definitely come here first. more

Awesome! 7/1/2011

I have lived at Sun Prairie for 2 years now and I am prefectly happy with them. My apartment was clean when I moved in!! After I moved in I thought of a few questions and I called their after hours number and they helped me which was super nice! I have only heard my neighbors 1 time and it was really loud so I called the after hours number again and they took care of it right away and I never heard them again. The best part is the low utility bills!!!!! Also I don't have to worry about paying all those little bills like water and trash, its all included! more

staff is very attentive 6/14/2011

I live in a 1 bedroom, moderate income housing, layout 1 A modified unit. I have lived in Sun Prairie for a month with my boyfriend and, quite honestly, am surprised by the reviews here. Prior to leasing, I read all of the 70-some reviews on this site and was a bit wary. However, I've felt that the apartment complex itself is wonderful and the staff is very attentive. :) I like that they've tried to make it ""homey"" with the lake and the walking paths. I've walked as late as 9pm at night around the paths and haven't had any problems... aside from the occasional goose! more

Quiet Comfortable!! 5/25/2011

We have lived at Sun Prairie for 1-1/2 years. The office people were great to work with and did a great job helping us find the layout and price that would work best for our family. During the entire time we have lived here every time we have had any need for maintenance it was not unusual for someone to come and take care of things the same day and definitely by the next day. It is a quiet, peaceful place to live. We found our apartment to be clean when we moved in and communication from the office to the residents about updates etc. has been excellent. There are lots of little things that you don't think about which add to the comfortable feel of the place. One of them that surprised me was how wide the parking spaces are. It allows even a larger size car space so you can get your groceries in and out without being concerned about bumping the next car. I could go on and on. more

Excellent Job 4/5/2011

I've lived at Sun Prairie since March, and I like it a lot. For a complex of its size, Sun Prairie does an excellent job maintaining the grounds and apartments. Contrary to many reviews on this site, everyone I've encountered at the office has been very friendly and helpful. It's amazing what people will write after they've been evicted. more
